Ok, posting here in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction, one of my sons has his promise coming up and wants to wear a dress with high heels.

I have no idea where to find a dress that will be cut to suit him, he is medium height but slender and obviously flat chested ( although he's not averse to 'getting' booms for the night.

Is there any where I can take him to shop or are there any online shops that cater for him? I've tried googling but getting nowhere.

Thanks

Fab! Grin

Well he's a bit gorgeous isn't he! Hope the prom is great, and it sounds like you to have a great relationship.

MyIronLung · 19/05/2015 17:15

Oh my gosh, he's going to look fabulous! I love that dress but unfortunately I'm not tall or slender

I reckon red wedges/heels and red nails Full on red hair may be a bit ott (says me who used to have pink and green hair Hmm) but red streaks would look awsome! is he planning on putting it up or down?

Fooshufflewickbannanapants · 19/05/2015 17:24

Oh he's had bright pink really long hair for ages bit had it cut into ginger Bob last year, he's thinking straight waves ( Jessica rabbit?!) Possibly temporary extensions. I'm going to have to practise the nail thing!

Gorgeous!! The red hair will look perfect!

Pseudo341 · 19/05/2015 18:52

What a gorgeous boy, he's going to look stunning for prom.

I've lost track of where you are with shoes but there used to be a company called After 8 who specialized in bigger sizes for women (or men in heels).

You're a wonderful mum.

TiggyD · 19/05/2015 19:42

Will he be going for "booms" then? Might be possible to 'tape up' for that dress, but he's not got that much fat to squeeze up.

TweenageAngst · 19/05/2015 19:54

How lucky he is to have a mother who has let him be who he is. He looks great in the dress.

ScorpioMermaid · 19/05/2015 19:55

You are such a fantastic mother! I'm dying to see the pic but I'm on my mobile so it won't show up. I hope he has a fabulous time, I really do! Smile

ScorpioMermaid · 19/05/2015 20:02

Just looked on my iPad.. wow! He looks incredible!

Tutt · 19/05/2015 20:02

Wow , he looks absolutely amazing, I agree with the soft Jessica Rabbit waves.
You are a fab Mum.

ollieplimsoles · 19/05/2015 20:14

Read the whole thread and I would love to see it in classics, this mum ROCKS and he looks fab, hope he has a great time :D

Wolfcub · 19/05/2015 20:17

He looks amazing in that dress

42andGaffaTape · 19/05/2015 20:22

Thanks for the pic, he looks awesome!

LittleMissIntrovert · 19/05/2015 20:22

That dress is stunning, looks really good :)

Mrsstarlord · 19/05/2015 20:23

Ooh, he is going too look fab! I'm thinking that whatever colour shoes he wears they need to have killer heels. Not wedges but proper stilettos, matching bag and definitely Jessica Rabbit waves. The girls are going to be soo jealous I would be

Welshmaenad · 19/05/2015 20:26

He looks amazing. And very comfortable in his own skin.
Well done you for being so supportive.
Hope he has a great time.

MillionToOneChances · 19/05/2015 20:51

He looks fab! Good for him.

ChanandlerBongsNeighbour · 19/05/2015 20:52

Oh he is ROCKING that dress!

NorbertDentressangle · 19/05/2015 21:17

What a lovely thread this is. Smile

Foo you are such a great Mum, supporting your son in being who he is. He looks great in that dress. Such a beautiful face too.

I hope you've shown him all the positive comments (about you both) on this thread

iwanttogotothechaletschool · 19/05/2015 21:29

He looks great.

I'm adding my vote for red shoes. Brantano normally do bigger sizes in ladies shoes and have a reasonable selection.
