Back in the high school world, girls are beginning the freak-outs of prom dress shopping. At my school, junior prom was the first weekend in May and then senior prom was the last weekend in May so right now is prime prom dress shopping—maybe even a little late.

Although it may seem early to guys to be shopping for dresses but by the time you find the perfect one, you have to make appointments to get it altered and fitted just right. And with most of the girls in your grade plus surrounding schools all using same tailors and what not, the appointments get booked pretty fast. I remember for junior prom, I went very early with a group of my friends and we all bought ours the beginning of March and had the tailoring done about a week before. But for senior prom, I started looking much later towards the end of March, but I wasn’t even able to get it all finished and altered until the Thursday before from (prom was on Saturday). So going early really can make a difference if its going to be ready in time or not.
On AOL news this morning, I came across this article. It’s about high school girls in Pennsylvania that formed a Facebook group where they post pictures of their already-bought prom dresses so no one can get the same one. After endless dress try-ons and stopping in multiple stores until you find your perfect dress, the one thing that would be a complete mess on prom night is walking in and making awkward eye contact with a girl in the same dress, or the same dress in a different color. Especially with all the money spent on the dress, the altering, the hair, nails and even tanning packages, you definitely don't want anything to go wrong. But then it seems that all your hard work to get the dress just went out the window because you’re not the only one wearing that dress anymore. It’s a great idea on those girls’ part and definitely would be beneficial to more girls getting ready for their upcoming proms.

It is interesting to think that while the internet has created a lot of awkward situations (such as Facebook drama, it's also eliminated many others.
ReplyDeleteThat's really funny. I remember hearing all of the drama when girls had the same dress on. Some people just have to much time on their hands.
ReplyDeleteLol I remember on junior prom almost every girl wore gold, it just got annoying b/c I was one of them.
