Prom dress help!

13th March 2011 at 02:02

My high school prom is coming up and I can't seem to find a dress that I like, I'm very theatrical in my everyday sort of fashion, and I'd really like to wear a unique, sort of crazy dress.

I love themes, and the prom theme is Greece. And I'd like to go a different path the what most people are going and I sort of what to base it around a Greek god/goddess. I'm thinking of Hades (because my sort of style is usually gothic/edgy/punky).
My measurements are 42-34-41 and I'm five foot nothin' with a short torso and longer legs.

Do any of y'all know where I might be able to find a more unique prom dress?

wait, do XENA! a breast plate over a long flowing black gown, or get a corset and wear it over a long black skirt, cut two leg slits

Regency gowns were greatly influenced by greek statues and they had some stunning gowns. Sometimes when I look at the work that was put into these gowns it makes me dizzy knowing they did it all by hand!

I wore a Regency inspired gown to my junior prom and had a ton of people I didn't know come up to me to tell me how much they loved my dress.

vitage shops and the vinatge section of etsy have some great finds try a simple white dress with a leaf headband in gold and a gold necklace and gladiator shoes will look better with tyhe theme and be better for dancing in than heels
