sheryl Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 My dd asked that I post this question here. I posted locally but she wanted it posted here so here goes. She is seeking a prom dress by March. Size: ladies 8 (give or take depending on style) Floor length Color family: reds, blues, purples (rich colors not pastel) She is also seeking black for another occasion. Rules from group sponsoring prom - no strapless and no slits. If there is a slit, it must not be open to high, but a low slit. V-neck may not work on her as she's endowed and we want to keep it modest. She likes a shimmer fabric or a dressed with some embellishments. If you have one for sale, please send me a pic along with condition, price and any other info. THANKS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Here are some links you might try: www.modestclothes.com/modest-formal-dresses.html#prom I am not Mormon, but love some of the dresses here. You can always try eBay as well! Edited February 14, 2016 by MercyA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thanks! I can actually find dresses we like but would like to find one that someone is selling (reasonably-priced if pre-owned vs. new). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie~Phlox Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My daughter had a beautiful red dress last year that was long, but it was strapless. She actually got it at a garage sale & it was a former bridesmaids dress. I'm not a fan of stapless, but it was beautiful on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red is a beautiful color and one of my dd's picks. The no strapless and slit rules are set forth by the leadership committee of the group hosting the event. But, Ihave to say I agree with it for us. But, like I said clear straps could be added. I need to remember that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAPeachie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 When I was 7 months pregnant, I needed formal dress. I found it SUPER cheap on eBay of all places. Since I am 5'2, I knew that hemming could be a major factor so I didn't look for a floor length gown for my event. Hope you find something special!

It has a scarf as well that you could maybe make straps out of if you are interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yes, Prairie P, that would be great. Pics would be helpful. Please know that not every style is right for my dd because of her cup size but we can try. I'll check back tomorrow, Monday. Thanks.

Night Elf Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We've got a coral floor length vneck dress size 7/8. It was worn once and is in new condition. I don't know how to do pictures but I managed to get a link from my computer. I have no idea if you can view this, let me know. prom dress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheryl Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Beth, Thanks much for this offer. This is a very pretty dress but my dd is not able to wear a V-neck as she's quite busty! LOL!
