I went all vintage to my formal.
This is the style of my dress that I wore to my formal on Friday night
Vintage 1950s Christian Dior Black Cocktail Dress
Except I asked the lady who made it for me to give it a square neckline and skip out on the fringing on the ruffles. And I wore a purple petticoat underneath which poked out a few inches under the skirt.
And this was my necklace which I made myself (I love jewellery so I had to make my own necklace)

I added another layer to it a few months ago so it had a string of white and pink pearls on a purple ribbon which tied up at the back as well. You can see my purple shoes in the pictures too.
And my ring which was my great grandmother's

And I had fingerwaves in my hair!

I want to make my formal dress, but I'm not entirely sure I'm going to have the time to finish it which would just complicate things majorly. I want my dress to be just above the knees, loose with frills of some sort and brown or maroon. Kind of vintage. :)

If your formal venue is near the sea, like mine - Le Montage at Leicharht, then get a speed boat or helicopter to arrive there! You'll stand out so much, because most people will arrive on limo or cars :D

I think dress wise, i'll be looking for something figure hugging at the top (around the waist area etc), and then long and flowy at the bottom

^something like that, but in cream or white :3
