Okay my step-sister Megan posted a picture of herself in this prom dress.(click on her name to see her posat) She wore it to her prom several years after mine (I'm not telling how many years because...actually because I can't remember). It totally inspired me to dig out this old picture. This is a horrible scan and the picture is wallet sized so that makes it even worse, but you get the idea.
So tell me, what do you like best about this look...
* the fact that the front of the skirt is higher than the back
* the sleeves (nuf said)
* the form fitting crickley material
* the color
* the uniquely placed bow
* the white hose
* the shoes dyed to match the dress perfectly
* the clipon shoe bling
* or of course the lovely perm followed by an hour long curling job at the local hair salon.
HA!

I love that you posted this! I think it looked better on you. At least you had fancy dyed shoes instead of ugly white flats! And, just for the record, I wore it in 1994 to my 8th grade formal kaleidoscope dance. I would have been laughed right out of prom if I wore this in 1998, lol!
LOL!!! Sorry Megan...but I'm gonna have to agree that Cindy looks better in it! I think the shoes make a huge difference ;)
So do you still have this dress? One of your girls may need it for a halloween costume someday! lol
lol!! This is too funny!! I had a purple dress that was all crinklie like that and a skirt simliar and then this huge bow at the top- Im talking shoulder to shoulder- LMAO!! THat is hillariuos! I think I wore mine in 7th grade for a pageant
LOL!!! I so remember those times and styles!!!!!! =)
lol. This is great!! It looks sooo much better than my prom dress/picture.
gotta love the 80's!!! those sleeves are hilarious!

LOL! I had a dress VERY similar to this one!!!
I literally almost peed in my pants I was laughing so hard at the comments. If you dye the dress red you could be a flamenco dancer ;) Just pose yourself clapping with your arms in the air abov your head :) I think though, you'd have to get rid of the hose :(
Great post! So funny to look at the way we were.
