Okay there are 5 weeks to go and I *still* can't find a dress. The fact that I'm skint until a few days before the event isn't helping, so will anyone mind too much if I just wear some very pretty underwear and a raincoat?

Yvonne, I'm not going in my underwear - but I may have to go in a skirt and top combo as I really can't afford £100 on the only dress I've found that I like and fits.
I thought you bought that red one?

Okay there are 5 weeks to go and I *still* can't find a dress.
BTW, just found out I definately can't go 'cos Jazz just reminded me that we have tickets for a gig in Nottingham on that day.
The red one was out of stock so I turned back to the drawing boards, and I can't believe you're not going! I suppose prior arrangements have to take priority, but it's still a drag.

Peg, wear the PVC set from Eclipse
Personally I think everyone should go in a raincoat and pretty underwear...
Don't tell me you are going to see Toby Jepson??? Cause he's playing Peterborough the week before and I should be going to the Pboro one because I couldn't do the Notts one due to the Prom!

So you have no excuse not to go
Yvonne - I was considering that for a minute then wondered if pvc was prom friendly!

Well OK, if you insist! It's easier than sorting out a tux!

Er......no.........Didn't he used to be in "Little Angels"?

*splutter*
Jazz got the date wrong and it's the 20th not 27th. We're going to to Distortion 2002 see Green Day, Iggy Pop, Idlewild, A, Levellers, Hundred Reasons, The Wildhearts ( ), Spunge, Rival Schools, Raging Speedhorn, Snuff, Face To Face, and Capdown. Those punks laugh in the face of Toby Jepson (Hope you have fun 'tho )
If I find a dress this week I'll go to the prom.
Well, it would solve the overheating in tuxes & dresses-with-too-many-layers thing

Does that mean you won't come with me!

Just a thought but have you tried ebay ... they seem to have a reasonable collection for the size 8-14 range on there.

Depends on both the man and the tux.
by Pegasus
So is that the tuxs that are sexy or the men in them that make them sexy
Put a hunk in a 70's tux = moron.
Put an ugly bloke in a tux = still not fancyable.
It takes a special kind of package to fit a tux
This from the woman who cant even find a dress. And the underware idea would scare people. I dont want to be sued for Post Traumatic Stress or anything!!
*sigh*
I disagree, put an ugly bloke in a tux and he becomes 'interesting looking' rather than ugly. They immediately bump up the attractiveness quota by at least one. Of course i am talking the classic black Bondesque tux. The 70's one has the opposite effect

I just got a call from Teresa, it seems she has found a dress (in Dorothy Perkins of all places), so she will be going to the ball. However she'll need to run off before midnight before she turns back into a pumpkin

Its not a little blue number is it T?
I saw some teenage girls shopping for prom dresses when I was ... they thought I was a bit freaky when I said I was going to a prom too

So have DPs got the Prom dresses in again now. I've been waiting to see if they do before i decide weather to get a new one or not
Just remind her she still needs to send me her details by email so I can officially put her on the attendeee list.

I saw whole bunch of kids actually going to a Prom last Saturday. If everyone ends up looking half as good & having as much fun as they did, then it should be a fab night
