how much was ur formal dress? (4 Viewers)

[welshi]

Okay, I spent a lot on mine, about $500, but that was because it needed a lot of altering because it was way too long lengthwise and strapwise. I got my shoes for $50 though. And someone gave me a bag. And I didn't do anything different to my hair.

got mine last w/e from alannah hill...$470 with minimun grovelling! i nearly fainted from shock when mum said yes!!! it's a gorgeous cut and colour, and i'll be able to wear it again so it'll be worth it.

cheap shoes, here i come...

My Mother is making mine. So far it has cost about $150 for the material, pattern, buckle, boning and all the other crap one has to buy in order to make the dress. But it'll be original. Strapless, canary yellow, knee-length 'Vintage Vogue' pattern from 1950, has a contrasting belt and diamante buckle. I also have some kick-arse shoes in the same wonderful canary yellow hue which I bought in the city the other day for $130.

i got mine for $370 a lisa ho dress reduced from $670 i was surprised when mum bought it for me [this was in the 6 week holidays] ha and it still fits
its beautiful black silk, strapless, full length with a slit up the thigh and it flittles when i walk..can't wait to wear it
shoes were $60 or $80 i cant remember
bag was $20
hair who knows
makeup again a mystery
wow this formal is going to cost me a bundle...well mum paid for the dress and the shoes

and i cannot believe anyone would pay over $600 on just the dress and heels for over $200 why pay that much for pain? oh why? i just do not understand its beyond comprehension, ok i get if it's your wedding or something but this is a formal

it was like 70% off or something
then my shoes were $20 wich was on sale from $70
and i already have a bag and all that jazz

i feel cheap lol

thats the way to go.
I'm hoping to get a deal like that.
already got shoes.

I'm so not fussed about this dumb formal.
its going to be lame

Well it helped that my sister is the same size as me, and that she still had this really nice dress form when she was a bridesmaid for one of her friends….so I just wore that! it was about 200 or so bucks.

i had to buy my shoes and they were 60 bucks!

update on mine:
top - <$5 (mum got it from bali)
skirt - free (well the clip we used to keep the sash-thing was $10 i think..but the rest's free)
shoes & bag - from year 10
hair - $60 so far (thats for a cut, foils and she straightned it a bit).....+ $15 to get it straightned on the day...+ probably $15-20 caus i'm going to change the colour a bit (the front's too blonde atm....wanna get it more of a caramel colour)
make up - $20

so around $130 all up....really good for yr 12

i have my formal next friday!!

and i guess i'm lucky cuz my aunty over seas who is a fashion designer sends over my dresses all the time.. she sent over my dress for my yr 10 formal and it was sooo gorgeous. i loved it and also, cuz its a unqiue design i dont turn up to the formal with a million other girls in the same dress but a different colour. hahah

but this yr she sent over two designs to choose from and although it was a tough decision i made my choice. and i think ill stick to it hahah
and she sent over all my accessories, the bag, jewellery.. so yeh..

on tha downside- i never got the whole formal shopping experience.. it was more like home shopping.. haha with a choice of two!

i just had to buy shoes

 

[Butterfly Kissz]

but i think for yr 12. its not so much get really dressed up and formal.. well at my school i know a lot of ppl are just buyin cocktail dresses and party dresses and watnot.. so that u can wear all the stuff u buy again u know..

so hopefully, when u guys buy stuff for ur formal. and spend heaps of money on it- u will be able to use them again.. i made that mistake with yr 10- i went all out on shoes, hair, nails and watnot and now i cant even wear or make use of them again... :uhhuh:
