Aaahh, I remember my school balls. Both years I went, my mum made my dress for me. At 16, I went in a dark red empire-line number with capped sleeves – very conservative. The following year I wore a black, shiny, PVC dress – again with an empire-line but also a fish tail and mesh sleeves and patent red shoes. I thought I was awesome, but I’d hate to see the photos now, with so so so much hindsight.
Boy do I wish I was a teenager now going to a ball though. There’s limitless choice of dresses at almost any budget. You can look on trademe or any number of online stores for super bargains. And there’s so many more ranges of make-up and styling tools for hair. Kids these days don’t know how lucky they are aye.
Here’s what I’d like to wear if I was invited to a ball this season (all these are from US sites, but do ship world-wide):
 Only $89 US |
 Only $40 US |
 Only $58 US |
The pvc dress sounds awesome! would love to see photos of it. I’m sure you looked rad
