Maybe you could try 'bare' by Rebecca Davies or a Alannah Hill store. They're quite... original...

If you like cocktail dresses, you can go for designers like Morrissey, Cooper or (heaven forbid) stores like New York or Sheike.

hahah not onyl that, you'll show up with a dress that 15 other girls at the formal will have.

At my sisters 1998 NSGHS formal about 20 girls had the same 'keyhole' harts dress, it was quite hilarious

omg i bought my formal dress today!!!! it is teh sex!!!! <3333

sorry, kinda excited.

i bought it from seduce in burwood and there were quite a few dresses there. i bought the nitro style in green/blue/turquoise. uhh, for my year 10 formal i bought my dress from sheike. for year 11 it came from some store on the top level of the qvb - so you could try that. (theres quite a few formal stores there). also new york has nice stuff. uhh yeah, there's heaps of places.

Shell · 28 May 2005, 7:53 PM

yeah, but i just want an idea of what shops have at the moment. I know everyone getst heir stuff form harts, i dont want anything from there. But i just cant find any other formal wear sites!

llamalope · 28 May 2005, 8:27 PM

Nah, stuff designer dresses!

Sheike, George, Novita, New York... all have good dresses. You see, if you go designer, you end up paying like $500-1000 for a dress in reality you will only wear once. Or any of those 'after 5' shops you find in random areas of shopping centres around chatswood or Parramatta.

**blu_rose** · 29 May 2005, 4:49 PM

hey downward spiral there's a review store in westfield parramtta.
not sure about the level i think it might have been level2 or 3

tomorrows_angel · 29 May 2005, 6:56 PM

if you're anywhere near dural or windsor there's a store called smik which is good. The windsor one is better cos it's bigger and they have more stuff. But they have a really wide range of styles, from plain formal, to cocktail to elaborate. They have nice stuff.

Ranger Stacie · 29 May 2005, 10:20 PM

steph@nie · 29 May 2005, 11:02 PM
