Really, what can I say?
It's a peach and white seersucker puff-ball skirt, puff-ball sleeve dress with a mad-large bow in the back. I do believe we used a wedding gown pattern to make it (I made it with my mom, again, we shouldn't have been allowed near a sewing machine!)
My hair was crimped! And I decided to wear my corsage on my head!
My date was the same guy as last week's pic, a skiing friend who wore burgundy high-tops that matched his bow-tie and cummerbund. He got drunk on free punch and puke all over them. Then my anarchist friend with the green Mohawk bought his shoes for 5$ and we called his parents to come get him....
Are my eyes deceiving me, or does the dress have pockets? Because that is very practical indeed. A prom dress with pockets- you have some place to put your hands if you are tired.
And I have to add that my first reaction was "wow." You are a vision in seersucker!

Amazingly, your dress look quite similar to my prom date's dress. She wore a huge, poofy, peach dress with bows too. Mrs. Figby has been bugging me to find my prom pictures, so I guess I will try to post them for another Retro Friday. Figlet, you haven't seen anything yet.

I went to see my old high school's production of Footloose the other night. All the girls in the play had crimped hair and crazy prom dresses. I have decided I really am old when the songs we used to listen to have been adapted for the stage and the dresses we wore to the prom have become props! You'd have fit in great in your seersucker dress, and my fuscia vision with the huge butt bow would have stolen the show! Everybody cut, everybody cut....Footloose!
