No Ball Gown.

They look beautiful though

All three girls in the picture look lovely, but I think I would want a gown that would not hinder me throughout the night in whatever I did.

To each their own. You'd be hard pressed to get me in a dress.

The girls all look beautiful. As far as I can remember, when we went to buy Pretty a dress for Junior and again for Senior Prom, there were no restrictions except how deep my pockets went at the time. I told Pretty an upper limit and she stuck to dresses right at or just below that price... With her dress for Senior Prom, the stores thought things out better (for them) and placed higher priced dresses beside the dresses with a more modest price. Pretty found one she really liked and was pointing it out to me when I pointed to one hanging a little bit further away from it. Same color and same style but a shimmery fabric. I asked why she wasn't looking at that one and she looked down and told me she had looked at it but it was $100 over the limit I gave her.... So I told her to try that one on and we'd think about it... The too expensive dress is the one she wore to the Prom. She'll only have those two proms and if that's what she really wanted, this dad wasn't telling her no.

beautiful dress.

It must be indeed very difficult. They all look pretty though. Thanks for sharing

They are pretty, but I can see how uncomfortable they can be.

They are creating core memories. Lovely gowns.

Was there too much activity that these gowns came in the way?

I wonder why they wore those big gowns. I hope they had a good time anyway.

Did the rules suggest not to war ball-gowns? I wonder why decided to wear those uncomfortable gowns.

I especially like the red dress.

Lovely girls but you are right. Society expects too much of girls and women.

Some ball gowns can make movement quite difficult. The girls in the photo look very beautiful.
