year 10 formal?

 

[kat-]

yep

 

[kat-]

just realised that was my 100th post (the dresses)

 

[Shadowdude]

You're not going for the evening gown-esque wear?

 

[kat-]

Nah I was thinking more of that for year 12 and I don't look the best in the longer stuff cause I'm really short

 

[Shadowdude]

Ah okay.

Well, I'm a guy so I wouldn't really know about all this... formal dress whatnot. But yeah, if you say so...


i'm sure someone more well versed in this will come along soon and help you out

It depends a bit on your school. My school, heaps of people went long in yr 10, cocktail yr 11, and a mix of long and cocktail in yr 12.

As for me, my dresses got shorter each year haha

 

[Shadowdude]

what's a cocktail dress

*google image search*

uhh... i'm going to assume cocktail is a synonym for 'normal length' when in context of dresses

Below the knee (usually, but some styles are above the knee, though above the knee if oft referred to as a 'party dress')

Then you've got the 3/4 dress, and the full length.

I like a darker lace one rather than a lighter colour for some reason. i think its ok to wear cocktail dresses at year 10 cos that's what heaps of people did at my yr10 formal

 

[Fawun]

I think I want something with lace

idk just browsing

I liked the second one in that picture I'm still browsing on what to wear because i'm going to attend 3 formals so I need to have 3 different dresses -_- Where is your formal?

why are you attending three different formals

 

[starshine02]

You don't have to get 3 dresses! last year i went to two different ones and i got away with wearing the same dress but different accessories and shoes

 

[b00m]

why are you attending three different formals

why not. is there a socially acceptable number that limits the amount of formals we can attend

... or you could get a fairly simple dress and have quite different accessories for each night?

 

[Shadowdude]

who knows

Most formals I've known anyone to have in the space of one 'formal season' is 2. So three is mind = blown.

or maybe i'm not that observant

 

[Blue Suede]

why are you attending three different formals

Boys tend to like to take girls as their partner to a formal, it can make the night more fun. And perhaps she has several guy friends who would like her brilliant company

 

[starshine02]

I knew this girl who went to 5 one season :/

more like she has several suitors

or something

 

[Fawun]

Because i've been invited to three different formals.

I don't think having different accessories for each night would make a difference as there will be photographers who would post photos on Facebook where everyone will see me wearing the same dress 3 times lol.

Isn't that the same thing to what Blue said?
