emmamar,

Why don't you put on your dress, and take photos of yourself with hair up and hair down? Then decide which on you like :D

Or, just stand in front of a mirror :D That's what I did!

How much did your formal dress cost?

This is just to EASILY see how much everyone's willing to spend :) There are lots of threads I know, but not many have actually done a poll - it's so much easier to see statistics this way :)

For those who are spending $800 or more, what does your dress look like, and was it worth the money?

Hey Emma, usually if u have ur dress is backless u'd go for the hairup. I'm not sure with the arms though. But NO MATTER WHAT - talk to ur hairdresser, show them ur dress, tell them what style u'd want, but ask them what would best style would suit ur dress. If they're any good they should have a pretty good idea. Go Versace! Look at some Versace catwalk photos on the web, u might get some great ideas...

i'm missing my formal :(
i'm away in coolum cause it was the only time we could book cause it was booked out all other times

it was a tough decision, but relaxing in coolum for a week (and i've heard its AMAZING) outweighed going to the formal and having to be home the rest of the time :(

The material cost bout $100 and then the pattern and new scissors and stuff added $50 bucks on top of that.
I am just gonna wear my yr 10 formal shoes, as they are black and a black bag. Then make do with the jewelery that I have. so yeah it wont be costing me any more, except for getting my hair done.
