:-/okie dokie we have a semi-formal dance coming up in may, and its kind of like a mini-prom (im in 8th grade) and the girls all wear dresses. my question is, how do i know what color(s) to look for? i have medium blonde hair, dark brown eyes, and your typical winter pale skin.
im thinking black, but if anyone has suggestions, let me know. thanks!

I think maybe baby blue or light pink.

go with black velvet (always tres chic) and think about cherry tips on your hair

Hey yall, I have a semi formal comin' up in Feb. I'm in 9th grade, but went last year. I'm green eyes, blondish hair,straight hair, little past my shoulders pale (but i'm tanning for it with some stuff from bath and body works) and i have a dress. its black with some burgundy. I think that yall should wear black, it looks the best, it does have to be simple, just find a dress that has a great style. but other colors look good to like pink (i''m goin' to prom this year and i already have my dress and its pink) Dark reds look good too. W/e u do, dont go with a print. I notice last year that the ppl who had prints really ddnt look good, i hope this helps! Can any of yall help me with my hair!?

hey!!
i'm in eighth grade and my formal is coming up. i have really dark brown hair what color should my dress be?

bamachickl2008 · Apr 6, 2005, 06:02 PM

it depends, what is ur skin tone? if ur dark, whites and basically you can wear anytihng. I'm pale, and I wore black, to both my semi-formals(my 8th and 9th grade) i'm still in 9th, anyway, and to prom i'm wearin' a pink dress, and i'm goin' to the tanning bed. My advice would be to go shoppin', pick out what u like and think looks good, and everyone will have the same opinion as u. if ur uncertain bout ur decisions, go shoppin' with a friend. well g2g!

Advice to you all. Since you are all 8th graders, I would suggest you play around with colors. Go pastel if you can. Green, blues are excellent colors especially against pale skin. If you like, match your dress to your eye color. If you have dark green ones, go green. It will bring out that feature. Seen Eva Longoria on the red carpet? She plays with colors & she looks gorgeous. Another thing, green is the new black so I think you cannot go wrong with it. Black? Maybe in a few years time but now, take advantage of your youth. Try other colors. Coz when you grow older, you will have your fill of these black numbers. Hope I am of help.

Dimples, your advice is indeed helpful. Green is a must have color in your wardrobe.
