Do you remember the dress/gown you wore to your senior prom? What was the style? Color? Did you wear a tiara? anyone want to post prom pictures?

Mine was truly a one-of-a-kind. I had been a junior bridesmaid in my aun't wedding a fe years before that. My grandmother saved the dress. It still fit me in high school. We had it altered slightly so it didn't look like a bridesmaids dress. It was long, pink, lacey on the top and satin on the bottom. It was one of those that just went way out because I had a hoop on under it. I work long white gloves, a white bunny fur, my hair up in big curls and a tiara. Didn't it make you feel special?

i looked for a picture but couldn't find one However, the dress is still in my closet and fit until 5 years ago. (Going up to look at it...)

(Brought it down to the computer! )

Full-length, thin chiffon-like material in pale aqua over an opaque aqua slip. Pattern that could be called (VERY) abstract flowers or leaves in darker turquoise, lime-citron splotches, and fewer splotches in mid-light green. It looks like a painted watercolor and is very pretty and bright.

Empire waistband in satin turquoise. Matching big satin turquoise bow that pins on in back with a full-length narrow train that matches the rest of the dress. Sleeveless and scoop-necked.

My boyfriend was only an inch taller than me, so I probably wore low heels.

I just remembered: full-length citron-lime gloves.
My hair was long and pinned up in back, with bangs. I had a braided crown hair piece that sat on top with the aid of bobby pins.

I'm sure I still have the hair piece way back in some closet somewhere!

Oh, girls I do remember my Prom dress it was Pink and what they called in the "60's" A Line with a satin train on it and I still have it in the closet here in the house . I don't think I can get into it though , but do have a picture to post . Oh, I did have white gloves and a white.
handbag and still have the evening bag also.

I had my hair in a french twist I think we called then . Oh, girls your dresses sound so pretty .

I remember mom only paid $30.00 for my dress in the 60's . Oh, what nice memories .

Meredith, my date was actually shorter than me and I'm short. I was supposed to go to the prom with my high school sweetheart (first husband) but we had broken up. So I asked a boy who had graduated the year before. He was so excited that he even put lifts in his shoes, but I wore heels so I was taller.

I can't believe your girs still have your gowns. I wish I had mine. Not that it would fit.

What prom? What boyfriend? I love vintage clothing and would love to see the gowns and accessorries. Can you believe clothing we wore is vintage and retro? I think I have my love beads and buffalo sandals from the 60s or a mini skirt and peasant blouse. These days I'd really enjoy having an occasion to dress up. No heels, of course, my feet have "matured."

Okay, Princess and Lousia , guess I will have to send you a picture of me in my pink prom dress and the long white gloves that my mother took of me on my way to the Senior Prom . I had to ask the fellow across the street from me .to go to the prom with me .

Don't know how to post it on the site .

I never went to the prom. just one of the people who decorated the gym...helped make cherry blossoms tied to trees, did murals..

Like no kidding, some gals did wear kimonos for the prom...this is in Ontario.

I actually did not get this 'prom-like' feeliing until I attended a wedding this past summer in a black strapless dress with triple fine satin ribbon row finishes around bodice and on skirt hem. Yes...at age 48 yr. Gee....guess it's never too late.

I'm not whether to feel pathetic or thrilled. Seems like I do lots of stuff late in life....

Renee, if you email me your picture, I can post it on the site for you. I wore a pink dress too! Wouldn't it be funny if we wore the same kind. I'm going to dig up a picture of me and post it.
Meredith your dress sounds just like you, colorful and bright.

I am so determined to find the photos of my 2 proms and post them....stay tuned....
