If your school has white grad gowns then I would choose a white sun dress (most people do wear a about knee length sundress type thing) Then heels or dress sandals.

I actually wore dark denim skinny jeans and black heels (was the only one with jeans but people said it worked really well) So if you aren't a dress person like me you can do that.

dont go for the first one, that will definitely see through (though its a cute dress)

Cause I have a white graduation gown too, The dark blue might be a tad sketchy. I would stick with white or some tone of a light colour imo

The white material on graduation dresses are thin

Honestly go for a dress that you will wear more then once don't concentrate on the whole white aspect. Every dress posted so far would be fine.

oh okay :)
would any of those dresses i posted be good with heels?
and would curling my hair be good? maybe that way it'll look like its dressed up instead of being sorta casual like it's just a regular day?

Then curl it. Just keep your hat in mind. Since it's inside you don't have to worry about wind/grass or any of that nonsense. You are really free to do what you want.

Oh my goodness, it's not prom. Just throw on a light-coloured dress, make sure your hair looks presentable, put on a bit of makeup, heels and call it a day.

Girls, bah.

It should be more casual than formal dress. As others have said, just wear a light-colored sundress, preferably one that doesn't have a brightly colored/patterned bottom part. Most of the ones you posted have torsos that are okay; it's just the bottom halves that are too bright.

What colour is your cap and gown? Ours is white...which is probably why Uso is picking out lighter colours. But if yours is a darker colour than the brighter dresses might work.

My graduation gown was blue, but a lot of people wore light-colored dresses anyway. I remember there being a fair amount of girls wearing bright ones, though.
