I love it that she wants to be different .
She doesn’t care what others think.Good for her!

How refreshing that she won’t be following the crowd with the usual styles of dress. Let her make her choice and be proud of her.

I think you’ve asked the wrong people what they think about the dress, because she’s a different generation to all of you, and they wear and like different things when they are young. Could you ask a few of her friends to give their opinion, perhaps on both the dresses, to help her choose?

That's a brilliant attitude to have! I hadn't thought of it that way.

You bought it. She loves it. Who cares what anyone else thinks? For my 'prom' ie leaving party, I wore a dress my Aunty gave me second hand. It looked great and I got lots of compliments.

My granddaughter is going to her final school year prom (when did start these American traditions?). She found a dress she really liked in a charity shop and I bought it for her- she absolutely adores it but it's really really ugly! It looks like an ugly Disney princess dress. It's all bows and flounces. I've not said I don't like it. We have a spare which she quite likes which looks incredible on her but she adores the ugly one. I don't want the rest of the school laughing at her. I'm not alone thinking this- all her aunts and her mum thinks the same. She does have a very quirky fashion sense (she has ASD which I think contributes to this) but it's not laughable. Id be devastated for her if she was made to feel bad for wearing it. Should I say anything?!
