Another semi- formal dress dilemma.

Catalyst93 · #1 May 14, 2007, 01:13 PM

Oh God. Well, I know I am one of countless people who have asked this, but my question still stands: I have no Idea what to wear to my semi- formal!!!

I am.... umm.... 5 ft. 4in. , I have REALLY pale skin (like unnaturally, snow- white pale) and I have blue/gray eyes and hair that was once dark blonde but is now auburn. (the auburn comes from the sun. I had died my hair this dark chocolate brown, but the sun won out in the end. I can either re- dye it or strip the dye and go back to blonde) PLEASE HELP!!!

I REALLY don't mean to pry, but what body type are you? Body types can really screw up favorite dress styles :P

As far as color, I would go with something bold. Emerald green, deep magenta... Try to stay away from black or even very light pastels. AND NO TAN OR BEIGE (-colored dress). This will just accentuate the pale.

And don't feel ashamed of being pale. It's what makes you unique

Oh and I suggest Tea-length dresses. Dance floor + lots of people + floor length (and beyond) dress = ripped hems + the inability to move (haha) + possibly embarrassing moments.

Thanks. I wouldnt go for a floor length dress anyway. Um well I dont really know how to describe my body type.... well I am NOT very skinny, but I'm not exactly obese either. I dont really know. But I have a..... butt..... and it is not particularly small. I guess I would have to say curvy, but not very. I weigh (gulp) 118 lbs. So... I dont know.

And I love my pale skin. It looks great with red lipstick

Haha oh don't you worry. At 5'4", 118, you're not obese (or fat).

You really could get away with most everything. But don't go overboard! Remember: semi-formal (meaning no ball gowns- really... it's just not necessary)

What would you like to wear? That's the most important question.

I dont know what I am looking for. I am quite good at shopping for other people, but when it comes to myself, I lose my touch.

Catalyst93 · May 14, 2007, 01:45 PM

Hey, does anyone know if we can, like, chat with other users?

rawpotatoeater37 · May 14, 2007, 01:52 PM

Um... not live chat. But you can private message people.

Thank you.

rawpotatoeater37 · May 14, 2007, 04:43 PM

You're welcome!

Ok, another question: What neckline do you think would be best? I mean, I dont want to look trashy but I do want to have a good- looking dress- "big night" after all.
