However there were some people wearing dresses that were around knee length, so it really depends what you are going to feel most comfortable in, and what you can afford. Hell, some girls who don't "do" skirts/dresses sometimes wear suits to these kind of things, so you shouldn't worry too much!
Also, I'm wearing black! Its slimming

Try local shops (like brides shops the also do prom/bridesmade dresses) theyll b loads in black. I do love the 1st one posed by you id just buy that anyway for the sake of havin such a gorgeous dress!!! hehe such a waste of money!
I had my prom dress comissioned. I designed it myself... it was electric blue
The moral of the story is don't buy a dress that costs a fortune coz you won't be wearing it again

Debenhams is good, though there's a higher chance of someone else having the same dress. I'd recommend department stores like House of Fraser, John Lewis etc. A bigger range from different designers, can't be a bad thing.
also try somewhere like 'coast' which you can find in selfridges.
next time i need a formal dress im going to get one from a shop
:yes: yes, try there, they have the most gorgeous outfits. can be expensive but i got something from there to wear for a wedding and it's one of my favourite outfits ever. there are some Coast shops, but as lipsy said, there's sections in Selfridges and also Debenhams.
Is this suitable for a ball?
The problem with this dress is thats its pink and I have dark hair so I'm unsure of whether or not it would suit me.
personally i dont like the dress but dark hair definitly can look good with light colours, just like blondes look good in dark colours
I have dark hair too and if it was me choosing a dress i would probably go for purple or burgandy just because i like richer colours (not one for pastels) and i would avoid black like the plague because its just a colour that has been overdone and everyone wears it!
Depends on your skin too though, pastel colours like that pink look kinda stupid on me because im pale but it could look really nice on other skin tones
Your best going to a shop and trying on loads of styles and colours
Absolutely gorgeous!
Your hair would look great with it!
I really like that dress.
Remember though at the end of the day its whatever makes you happiest is the one that you should choose!
Coast is great for that sort of thing, for a full length dress expect to pay £100 - £200 but their knee-length ones are lovely too. I also find they're good for me because their sizing isn't huge. I find alot of dresses in places like Monsoon just hang off me, even in a size 8.
I went to a repair/alterations place and its gonna cost me £15 to get the zip fixed so I got this dress for £65 really. I thought it was a bargain.
I think its gorgeous and I don't say this often but I actually think it suits me!
Ooo, I can't wait to wear it! :hyper:
I think its nice dressing up in a suit (or ball gown if your female), have a few drinks, dance etc... Hope you enjoy yourself Stacey
