rofl!

yeah, its a gorgeous dress. kinda worried that someone has the exact same taste hahaha, the last thing i need is to turn up at the formal and see 50 other girls wearing the same dress :rolleyes: lol

yeah i agree with pretty much everything you said :D

also, the bustline, yeah i was just thinking i might get a dress that doesnt have clevage, just because everyone else will. something classic, maybe like this:




love that colour.
thats nice

Thanks for the site...found my DREAM dress on there! HAHA, but too bad I don't know how it'll look on me :( But it is t3h absolute s3kS!! Now I have very high expectations to find something half as decent as that! :(


DREAM DRESS:





STYLE: Classical, stylish

DRESS: purple, dark blue, grey or gold with the bottom hem like the above (uneven). Wouldn't like a revealing bustline. (Mental note to self: must lose weight -_-")



Oooh wow that is a really nice dress!! :) I agree with the revealing bust thing, with the dress I like the part I don't like about it the bust area lol.

i want this one.
this dress is gorgeous !

For the formal i reckon it'd be more convinient to wear dresses above the knee; cos it not only feel akward but also LOOKS awkward to dance in a floor length dress.


However you're gonna style ur hair it should be volumised ! Flat hair is so yuck and not hot !

I'm inspired by Rachael Bilson's make-up at the moment. So i'd go for soft matte skin with the slightest hint of rosey cheeks. For my lips i would just use someting like vaseline to bring out my natural lip colour. I'd use a black eyeliner around my eyes and use heaps on the corners of my eyes and HEAPS of mascara so it'd give the "pop out" effect.

where is this one from? can you buy it online?
I remember seeing this dress from the recent Harts catalogue. Not sure if they have a website and/or if you're able to purchase it online though.

hey, What are you guys doing for fundraising?? We are thinking of maybe a chocolate run, raffle/s, cake stall, movie night, but that's about it. Do you have any other ideas?

My school is selling chocolates, we each get $13 off the ticket price once they're all sold.

I <3 this dress. It's simple but elegant at the same time.
That is a nice dress, but I get the feeling it'd be too casual for a formal, and that one wouldn't be able to pull it off unless they looked like an Olsen twin. Hahah. Maybe it'd be suitable for a formal with a cocktail dress code.

We've been told that we aren't allowed to sell chocolates for it, because we aren't 'technically' meant to have chocolate at school.... yet it's sold at the canteen. Like what the hell?

we've really only sold Cadbury chocolates, had a bbq/ spider drinks day both of which went really well i think, but we have done less than we should have by now

We've got a few more ideas.

Wood Raffle.
Chocolate run.
Street Stall [cakes and things]
Sell hot chocolates in the morning.
'Count the (whatevers)'.
Lucky number or something?
Car/Truck wash.
Crazy hair day.
Maybe another BBQ.
Maybe another raffle [basket of things donated from businesses]

We've also just been told, as in yesterday, that we aren't allowed to fundraise in Term 3... which gives us 4 weeks [2 school, 2 holidays] to raise money.

You can get tailored suits from good menswear stores, or there are places which actually just specialise in suits.

That's really about all I know re: mens clothing. Ask your dad or an adult male with some sense of class and they will point you in the right direction?

As for design just go for something simple, I'd say. Up to you though
