Teenage dd wants to wear a suit for prom

[xsquared]

Dd is adamant that she doesn't want to wear a dress but a two piece with trousers or a suit of some kind.

I've looked at old threads for inspiration, but she's not really after a tux or dinner jacket type suit.

What are the alternatives please, if you've ever had a dd like this?

Thank you.

Oh get a life. Are you as environmentally conscious in regards to everything else in your life or do you just pick one crusade you like to shove on people? Do you sit at home not using electricity, hand washing your clothes by candlelight? I think that would be a no

Love this!

Love the asos one. With black net skirt and DM would look great

And isn't it amazing now that sneakers and trainers are ok to wear out out! No more stupid disabling high heels. (yes they look nice, but they are daft)

Seriously? You have heard of second hand and vintage clothing haven't you?

Going to the prom and being environmentally friendly are not mutually exclusive you know.

I'd love to go to the canine film festival.😹

Sorry, I have nothing to contribute re the suit.

You know what also causes damage to the environment? The Internet and all the things one posts on it, perhaps you should consider your environmental impact by logging off and go and having a lovely hemp tea or some shite, and stop being a virtue signalling fuckhead.

NRTFT but ASOS always have loads of coloured and patterned suiting in women’s/men’s/unisex

Cheap enough to have tailored to fit locally if required (ASOS jackets and trousers are usually sold as separates so you can mix and match sizes anyway).

I LOVE this one (it’s very ‘Weird Barbie’):

My 17 year old DD is 5"9 and would look brilliant in that, but I just know she'd wear trainers with it.😂That said, she's got a pair of green suede Jordans that would probably work.

I quite like it, but it's a bit acquired taste. It's somewhere between a mauve harlequin and a Batman villain.

Cate Blanchett wears some amazing suits on the red carpet - maybe look at some images of her for inspiration?

😆

Your description makes me like it even more!

Maybe a jumpsuit or playsuit?

My DD wore a Karen Millen suit to her formal but opted for a purple satin shirt and Irregular Choice shoes. She loved being comfortable and was by no means the only one who opted for a suit

i wore a brocade and burgandy smoking jacket w/bellbottoms and platform shoes

psst it was in1973

I like this white stuff one (separates)

Yes mine did just this last year. The mood board was all David Bowie so we ended up with a green 70s style suit from ASOS and a vintage shirt.

It's actually been quite a bargain / ecological as she uses the suit for 6th form now.

We appear to have the same DD! She wears just that outfit to parties.

It has been the best ebay buy because she wears it in different combinations with other pieces.

There are some great pyjama suits out there at the moment. Or just wear pyjamas.

Mine were a Lilic suit with a white lace top Top and looked beautiful.bonus made it much cheaper than a prom dress

You seem like a right laugh

My very stylish sister in law got a fab silk floral suit from Zara a couple of years ago. Would be worth including that in a Vinted search.

Is there such a thing as a wedding onesie?😁
