we don't do proms, exactly... we have our grad ceremony, and then we either pay for the grad dinner or do our own thing.
it was mid to late nineties, and everyone was in a fever for regency style dresses with the empire waist. they're lovely, but i wasn't keen. i made my clothes and went barefoot with painted nails.
long silk trousers, black, and a dark blue top that was long and hung nearly to the knees. i based it on the styles i saw in the film "Scent of Green Papaya"- i loved the clothes in that. the clothes were vietnamese, but they were more everyday than extra fancy. i figured, i'm probably only going to wear it once- i'll wear what i like and pay what i like. it's why i didn't get shoes.
