Taffeta, sequins and plastic jewelry. What more can a girl ask for?
The Good
Actually these ones aren't so bad. The first one is a pretty colour, I like the draping of the 2nd dress though I think if it was more of a forest green it would have more impact (think Keira in Atonement). But the third dress is my favorite. The material doesn't look so cheap, the colour's pretty and the little rhinestones are a nice touch. Far right, this dress could have been nice too. Though it wasn't executed very well. Bit too high at the bust area. The materials horrible too.

Well, I don't need to elaborate.The Ugly
OMG I don't need to for this one either but just cause, I will. You may think I'm lying to you when I say the middle one won the challenge, well i think I'm lying too! Except I'm not! It looks like someone had accidentally spilled their breakfast cereal on her neckline. But the worst is definitely that brown one. It is the god of all atrocious prom dresses. You have the stiff underlining, the eyesore inducing colour (metallic brown bronze?!), the detailing and sequins... and if that wasn't bad enough LEOPARD PRINT SHOES!I've never been to one so is the term "gorgeous prom dress" and oxymoron? It seems that the occasion calls for such a horrible dress. If you want to feast your eyes on more lovelies:

Just to placate myself I created a little collection on dresses that could (should) be an alternative to the ones I featured above. I'm still learning how to use adobe btw! I thought that the ballroom near the sea looked really pretty!
Anyways the first dress is Bottega Veneta ss07. For the simple, minimalistic girl.2nd is Marchesa ss08, an Indian inspired gown for an ethnic feel, but still prom-like and pretty.
The third look is a bit risky for prom, but for a boost of colour, this Lanvin ss08 is stunning!
From Ralph Lauren's ss08 collection, this shorter dress is fun with polka dots but still classy with a vintage My Fair Lady feel.
Lastly is Carolina Herrera and staying true to prom traditions there is the poufy skirt (but not TOO huge) and lace and just to add pink, there is the bow.
Or perhaps I shall just pop in that prom episode of the OC with Mischa in a Chanel gown and Greco-Roman flats.
