What has been your favorite style youve seen so far for this yr for homecoming? I really liked the flapper look, its old school, yet elegant and chic. Is anyone going vintage for prom? If not, what are you wearing?

isnt it a little early for Homecoming and prom though?
I mean i havent even started school yet

It's not too early for Homecoming since most are in October.

thats when mine is i think.

Nah, I don't like the flapper look, it's a little to boxy for most bodies. I wouldn't go as early as the 20's, but the 40's is always an era I'm willing to dabble in.

40s and 50s are my favorite eras.

My homecoming is the 27th of this month I think. Very early.

Homecoming?
Mine's not until October.

Besides, all the girls at my school dress alike and wear the same types of dresses anyway.
Only a handful of them actually throw on some fun stuff in there.

What about styles besides those for homecoming and prom?

I hate the new choppy "scene" girl haircut. I think it looks stupid.

Me too!!!! I hate scene girls PERIOD.

Hmm, Well I saw somewhere that Kirsten Dunst wore a flapper dress, and it looked really good on her. Some people from "fashionising" posted her as the worst dress for 2008.

I really like the vintage look, or the 50's rockabilly style, its really cute. I never got over polka dots!

Do you guys recommend any websites that sell vintage, or unique elegant cute dresses? I wanna wear a cocktail dress, but with my style. No hoochie stuff either...

Only recommend websites that youve bought from.

Maybe this:

Vintage Prom Dress Website

Thanks, I looked it over...

I need to surf though, and I havent found anything good :|

There were two girls at my Grad this past June who did the whole flapper thing pretty literally. But they looked f**kING GORGEOUS! And totally stood out from everyone else.

Love the vintage look too, but I think above all, I love a cocktail silhouette, a dress to the knee. A long ballgown is just yawn-inducing and old-fashioned to me.

this makes me feel old.

Why does it make you feel old misoshiru?

And yeah, I was a flapper for halloween. I know the costume isnt very haunting or fearful, but I wanted to go as something daring, and unique. I suppose the whole sexy look for females is over rated. I thought this dress was cute, I really like the style.
Short cute cocktail hot pink dress

uh...because i'm a junior in college?

so juniors in college don't dress up anymore? You need to meet my bf, now thats old! haha.

Did you go to your prom?

my homecoming is at the end of september...our theme is the the 20s or something..which would be flappers?

Me too.

I never went to homecoming. I went to one winter ball, two military balls (because I was in JROTC) and my prom. Prom was fun, but pretty overrated. What made it nice was the location. It was in an old restored building, very very 1920's glam.

Hello! I just looked at your profile, and it said you were born in 1988? WOW, I feel old! I was born 1984! haha.

Yes the 1920's I believe is the flapper's decade, I think it dragged on till 1940's, no?

whats everyone wearing to homecoming? I'm not into fashion hxc but I like formal dresses, and seeing how they look on people. :D

http://www.pinupgirlclothing.com/ has some stuff.

Have any of you purchased any dresses from a website called camdendrive? Im looking to purchase one of those dresses for my cousin, but I need some feedback on someone whos bought a dress from there..?

so let me get this straight. you're a twenty-something year old who still obsesses over high school dances?

No Im a twenty something yr old whos obsessed with buying a dress for a cousin that cant afford it. And since Im not "updated" with the latest fashions, I need help.
