Prom Dress Help My Friend

[Socialite]

hi, one of my best friends has asked me (a guy) to find her some pics of black prom dresses. So I thought it would be fun for you guys and girls to help me. If you know any nice dresses, will you post pics please or site links and I will send the pics my friend. thanks

Those are all gorgeous but I don't know of many high school students that would wear such a pricey dress for prom. All that sweaty dancing and those potetial spills might ruin it!

lol the black anna sui is a good price and she loves it

she likes the 2nd one now, but the price is so expensive so I might buy fabric and make one up (not exactly the same) cause Im a fashion studant but hopefully I wont make mistakes

You can always make a muslin mock-up first.

[Pippi]

Yeah, that one is my favorite, too! It's from the website I posted, and it is $275 (US)

you are so welcome. Also as posted in wardrobe section, as you are in the UK, you have to check out Coast. They do the most fab prom dresses for well under 200 pounds, and you could use some of your skills to customise it slightly to make hers completely unique
