mine only cost $150!
nearly everyone at my school's kinda sick of the whole 'formal 'vibe thing. haha, we're too lazy! either that or too cheap.. haha.
i guess its coz its all very depressing as well. everytime i tried on a dress i was like... 'ugh, theres another 5 kg's for you to lose missy!'

About $200 from Hiltons in Chatswood... I'm going to get it altered though to make it more like a cocktail dress, so prob add another $50 at the most... It's a dark green two piece with rouched top, I'm gunna gather the bottom to bring it up from a floor length and add some tulle and handmade flowers and diamontes... I can't wait to get the design done, but studies kinda take the priority at the moment...!!
Picked up the most awesome bargain with my shoes though, they are silver Robert Robert's with a plait running up the foot with ties for the ankle... for $30!!! They were the last pair left, man I was psyched!

Mum bought me mine, the reason it was 1000 is because there is really nothing i've ever seen like it - should post a pic of it on here (as soon as i get the dress from parents house digital camera, etc etc).

it was originally $500
but when i went back to get it because i could not find a thing
it was on sale!
i was so stoked u have no idea
i have to pay $30 to get it altered
and have $80 shoes coz red shoes that match the dress are hard to find

they are by this french designer called christian la coustin and they are satin so apparently that gives ppl the right to charge ridiculous amounts of money for shoes BUT they were reduced from like 890 so at least i didnt pay that much for them.. plus they are gorgeous haha
