Formal Thread (pics, websites, ideas, thoughts) (1 Viewer)

[gloworm14]

I've decided to make a thread about:

• ideas of what everyone is thinking on wearing to their formal
• how everyone is doing their makeup
• pics of dresses/suits
• accessories
• useful websites on anything to do with formal

I'll start things off with some few websites:

http://www.yourformal.com/

Below is a dress I want to wear to my formal this year

Ooh nice dress.

I don't know what kind of dress I'll wear yet...I'm thinking a nice blue or aqua colour though. Hair, not sure yet either it will depend on the dress.

Thankyou
Im thinking of wearing black heels with minimal accessories
Hair: volumous curls with maybe a shiny clip or something
Makeup: smoky eyes but tossing up on the red lips (might be too OTT) or just nude shade.

By the way, check out these shoes websites:

Yeah that sounds nice. The curls would definitely suit that dress!

Ahhh I'm drooling over the shoes lol.

I love these kind of shoes:

that's a hot dress glowworm.

i'm kind of bitter about the formal right now cause it's $120 per head. add to that the cost of dress, hair, makeup, limo and afters, and this is one fucking expensive night :/

i was planning to go cheapo but ZOMG THAT DRESS IS SO FCKING HOT LOL
umm.. anyways yeh everything adds up in the end.
our tickets are $80, but with fundraising etc it will probably end up being a bit cheaper...
im thinking of going to a MAC counter to do the makeup.

The first one is extremely beautiful!

 

[Ms. BRIGHTSIDE]

The last one looks like it's from '27 Dresses'.

 

[xJennax]

I like this one:

It would cost lots to send it over though grr.

 

[scaredytiger]

i want this one.

 

[Jachie]

you have a sick, twisted sense of humour.

 

[gloworm14]

i want this one.

gorgeous =)
reminds me of midnight for some reason
i like the colour

 

[sle3pe3bumz]

I'm no good with this kinda stuff but I think I would go with a silky dress short at the front and long at the back to show off some leg. And with some heels. Maybe with curled hair. I want my dress to swayyy .. lol

 

[CrashTragic]

i really like this dress

not willing to spend $1000 on it though

That is an awesome dress. The skirt reminds me of Grace Kelly's outfit in "Rear Window". I like the shoes too.

$1000 is a lot though, I agree.

I'd probably get my dress from eBay, op shops or vintage stores in Newtown. I seem to like old style dresses... ^^

Thanks for the site...found my DREAM dress on there! HAHA, but too bad I don't know how it'll look on me But it is t3h absolute s3kS!! Now I have very high expectations to find something half as decent as that!


DREAM DRESS:





STYLE: Classical, stylish

DRESS: purple, dark blue, grey or gold with the bottom hem like the above (uneven). Wouldn't like a revealing bustline. (Mental note to self: must lose weight -_-")

SHOES: I'm not a real shoes person so any pair that matches the colour of the dress is fine by me...keeping the shoe budget low

ACCESORIES: Just a plain pretty silver/gold necklace and perhaps some bangles or a bracelet. not sure yet. Bag should be big enough to fit my essentials: wallet, mobile, camera, makeup bits and pieces, mints.

HAIR: Curls Maybe a tiara, but I'm having second thoughts....does it look too tacky or too stuck-up?

MAKE UP: Planning to get it done at MAC, but would have to see if my budget permits. More $$ on dress + after party = less chance of getting make up done Btw, I heard Inglot is really shit, so don't bother going there unless you want to look like a drag queen on your formal night.


Edit: mle43: hahah!! I didn't see that post when I started replying so I guess we have the same taste It's totally gorgeous...I think alot of girls would like it too . Now...where to find one similar in AUS?

 

[Ms. BRIGHTSIDE]
