our formal's going to be so gothic @.@

 

[soha]

most girls are wearing cocktail dresses
not really formal
some of them not even dressing up as much as you would expect them to
one just wearing a skirt and a top..but it still looks ok
because our formal is a boat cruise in the city and everyone wants to go to the after party they dont wana be too dressy...
in the end everyone looks great on the night...
i soo cant wait...november 23rd...!!

 

[emmamar]

yeah i think cocktail is a big thing this year.. my formal is going to be quite formal just due to the types of girls at my school ahhhh haha... yours is late too!! i can't wait till mine either!! dec 7th here i come haha..

 

[emmamar]

speaking of after parties r ppl actually having afters or are ppl just going to the city??

 

[soha]

people are staying in hotels or whatever
some guy is having an after party at his house because its his birthday that day..
others say they wnat to go clubbing
others wnat to go to the casino
then there is the poor 17 year olds..like myself
who dont have much to do..because we are not legal

Hey - my dress was $420, shoes $150, makeup $80, hair $99, taxi and limo $about 80, accomodation $40, other (film, touchup makeup, drinks, ciggs, nudebra, etc) $90, nails $20, bag $50, etc.
I can't remember the rest, but definetly pricey. I loved my dress, its so beautiful - it was a newly released pink/beige sass and bide, short - def. casual but it was lovely. My hair was up, I went to my normal hairdressers - J. Baileys in the city - and limo, taxi and accom was shared with my group...

Mine was $350 but I got some off, about $30 (not much) because there was a mark on it and I was going to have to get it dry cleaned, but now a few montsh later I can't even find the mark so no dry cleanong needed!
I just realised how much this whole formal thing costs us!
$320 dress
$110 hotel
shoes I haven't got yet
bag I haven't got yet
I'm getting my hair cut and streaked
then getting hair washed blowdried and then half up half down (can you believe they charge $25 more just to put 2 pins in! I could do it but knowing my luck it would fall out)
make-up done
and then $110 for the actual formal
ahhhhh, maybe I should pay my parents back. I have about $360 to spend on hair, shoes, bag and make-up. Do you think I can do it?

 

[lilmzqt]

hmm....yes mine was $320. im using the shoes i used in yr 10 coz they still fit and no1 gunna see them anywayz so i dun care and my bag is a silver one from valleygirl that was bout $10 -15. now i just gotta book my hair...........so exited!!

 

[lilmzqt]

I have about $360 to spend on hair, shoes, bag and make-up. Do you think I can do it?

yes.
shoes - $100
hair and make-up - some places do packages for about $200 ish?? i dun remember
bag - $50

if those are max. prices then you can def. do it!

 

[kimmeh]

I havent got mine yet. I have my eye on one and its $130

 

[Beckiki_S]

I got my dress made and it was $440 - green silk, slinky above knee length at front with a split up to my eyes...
Shoes = $200
Earrings = $30
thats all i have so far.

 

[mizz_smee]

i so wish i went to a school in the city so we could go on a cruise or something fancy
we don't even have a choice coz there is basically on place that can hold us all
we havd bout 300 ppl in our grade no ppl outside of school are allowed to go
and no parents...
but yeah it should be okay... we are not having an after party
there might be one for seperate gounps
but noone want everyone at there house
i reckon all the 18 year old will probs just go somewhere

 

[emmamar]

[emmamar]

$3000 on dress - its not mine so dun worry i didnt pay that much for it someone else did haha

[PeT_peT]

our formal's going to be so gothic @.@

Dress: $180 (black cocktail shirred thing from Cue with nice strappy back)
Shoes: $160 (Enzo Angiolini... VERY NICE!!)

Hair: $0 (I'm just going to um, wash it... and leave it out lol)
Makeup: $0 (yay for dance, I have way too much makeup anyway)
Bag: Haven't got one yet

So Far: $340

The average for my school is about $300 for the dress alone. For you girls that have gone over the $800-$1000 mark, what on earth are your dresses like?!?!?

 

[emmamar]

its a black versace dress low front, 3/4 arms, connects at the top of my neck, no back, black leather waist band thingy that connects to the lower half of the dress that goes to the ground so its quite formal...

 

[emmamar]

well its kinda a halter but not thats y i cant decide.. like it connects at the back and has 3/4 arms its sounds really weird but looks much better than it sounds..
