for my yr10 formal, i got my jewellry from a store in Byron Bay.
and for my yr12 formal, i got my earrings from sportsgirl about 8months before the formal, as i was going to a black tie party, so i wore what i wore to the yr12 formal, to the party.
i also wore black fishnet gloves which i had gotten for christmas.

The reasoning behind my argument is that a lot of stores keep records as to who has bought which type of dress and what school they're from - trust me, one of my friends said stores in Newy and Armadale keep records of purchases bound for Port Macquarie (at least two-and-a-half hours away) so that someone doesn't show up in the same dress as someone else (and we all know how devastating that can be ...)
That happened for my formal. I bought the nicest dress, they took down what grade and school I went to, and my friend went to buy the same dress and they wouldn't sell it to her. <3

Formal length?

Hey, Has anyone got a long formal dress?? Mine is long at the back and shorter in the front. I love it! I'm just curious to see if anyone is going like long and formal instead of cocktail.

What's your budget? And what kind of style dress do you want? (eg. long, shorter, classic prom-dress, cocktail, unique, etc.) Stating these will help people suggest stores...

there is a beautiful little formal shop in Manly called Surreal, its in Central Ave right opposite the council car park
i dont know what style of dress u want or wat ur budget it, but some of the dresses here are AMAZING... i bought mine from there and i love it lol
ask for Mish when ur there, she is lovely, and she will find the dresses that suit u best and she writes down ur school so no one else buys the same dress!!

I hate the colour but love the style!

Or this one

Let me know!
it depends what build you have. the first is good if you are tall and slim, the second would enhance the bust.

they are both very beautiful, i especially like the brooches. and its funny that you say you dont like the colour, because the first thing i noticed that i liked about the first one was the gorgeous colour.
