Opinions please - prom dress

[NotOnTheBench]

Can I ask any teens if they think this dress is OK for prom?

The blue one is beautiful!! I agree with pp that the style now is more towards clingy/lace effect.
However, I wanted a dress like the blue and I was talked out of it by my friends, still regret it 4 years on!!

Really tell your DD to pick the dress SHE loves, not what she thinks everyone will like!!!

I love the first one and agree she should pick something she loves. Not just pick a style which she thinks others will have/is on trend.

This is dds prom dress, so she went for something a bit different.

I don’t like either of the choices she’s in. First is a bit better than the last. She is young and slim so can get away with almost anything:

OP I'm afraid I don't like either. Both styles are outdated and the colours are not very on trend. She could wear something much more fitted.

The first one looks like a Disney princess and second one isn't nice.

She's gorgeous so keep looking.

The first one is beautiful!
I love it

Second one 🤢

My daughter wore this as a bridesmaids dress and now my niece is using for her prom. It's very classic and elegant without looking dated

I think she should wear whatever dress she prefers. You will find a whole variety at prom... Some like simple styles, some really sparkling and bling, I can agree that this ball gown type was more popular years ago but it is coming back. I have sold lots of gowns to prom for this year already. If she loves the dress.. She will not look out of place. I have a prom dress shop in Cleckheaton West Yorkshire www.afterdarkcleck.co.uk you are more than welcome to come to my shop I have over 800 dresses of all styles to try on xx

Thanks for all your suggestions. I asked her if she was still excited about the dress + she said yes she loves it. She's also shown it to a couple of her GFs and they like it too. Sure they'd tell her if they didnt!

Think I need to take a step back as I'm not her Mum + as a mother of 3 boys, what do I know! I'd rather a clingy sleek number but that's my opinion, not hers (or her own Mums). If she does have second thoughts, we can go again.

Love the first one but the second one does nothing for her. Tbh I'm obviously more fussy than I realised as there's not many suggestions on here that I like
