Unbelievable.

It's a bit skimpy, yes, but I was expecting worse I have to admit.

vodkaredbullgirl · 19/10/2022 15:55

Could be worse 😆

ILoveJoeBrowns · 19/10/2022 15:56

That's more like something I'd expect to see someone wearing to a nightclub on a Friday or Saturday night!

FlirtyMelons · 19/10/2022 15:59

More clubbing than prom but probably somewhere would have worn to our version of prom years ago when it wasn't expected to where some massive bridesmaid style dress.

Autumninnewyork · 19/10/2022 15:59

Strange colour

BigFatLiar · 19/10/2022 16:01

Some of girls around here would wear that to school

TheyreOnlyNoodlesMichael · 19/10/2022 16:04

What's wrong with it? It's a bit 'night-out' but prom is a big thing for girls that age and they want to look like their peers/celebs they admire. Release the pearls.

Tipsyturvychocolatemonster · 19/10/2022 16:08

Meh, proms not like you saw on the movie carrie or grease any more.

ladycarlotta · 19/10/2022 16:12

I reckon they've just put a bunch of keywords in the title to get views. Anyway, why does it matter?

KimberleyClark · 19/10/2022 16:15

I think it’s cheap and tarty looking, and there is a middle ground between a “massive bridesmaid dress) and something like this.

Why not she looks gorgeous

Vampirethriller · 19/10/2022 16:16

I'd have worn that 20 years ago. We didn't have a prom, we had a Ball over the co-op, lots of dresses not far off that one.

gogohmm · 19/10/2022 16:16

Seen worse. I was looking for an evening dress for a cruise and some of the "dresses" on sale would have caused heart attacks!

mavismorpoth · 19/10/2022 16:20

Is it advertised as prom? I thought prom was formal dress. I feel old.

Snoken · 19/10/2022 16:25

It is very, ahem, British. Not very prom-like though.

Holidayexpert · 19/10/2022 16:26

It’s hideous! Really cheap looking.

GlassesWearer · 19/10/2022 16:26

If I had a body like that then I would wear dresses like that 24/7.

Cheap. What? You're probably only 16 at prom. Are you going to buy her an expensive dress??

Me too. School run and everything!!

LemonDrop22 · 19/10/2022 16:30

It's a clubbing dress.

The seller has used catch all word salad, possibly without even understanding the concept of prom.

TheRainbowLady · 19/10/2022 16:32

Why not she looks gorgeous

For a nightclub, maybe
For a prom, no

Gloryofthe80s · 19/10/2022 16:37

that outfit is more suitable for Porn than Prom.

tulips27 · 19/10/2022 16:43

I think the problem is you couldn't wear knickers with it so it would be risky to say the least, especially round guys that age.

And you couldn’t sit down in it all night for fear of doing a Sharon Stone. Mind you I don’t expect there is much sitting down at proms anyway.

I’m sure plenty would. Not my cup of tea, even if I was that age or had that figure. It’s nice to leave something to the imagination.
