I really need a knockout evening dress. I don’t want to spend thousands (Ideally not more than £1000), but I really don’t want something that looks cheap. All the websites I find on google seem to sell the same kind of thing, which are basically cheap prom dresses. Has anyone got any ideas? I’ve even thought about hiring, but don’t know where to go…..
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Monsoon have some fantastic dresses – otherwise try bridal stores – they do a great selection of evening gowns for bridesmaids and proms etc and you can get some fantastic designer dresses FITTED FOR YOU!!
I have a spaghetti-strapped, empire cut, thigh length, green dress for my graduation ball. It’s a perfect cut for my body and color for my skin tone.
However, I find that for a for a formal occasion, it’s too plain. I dun wanna go to a tailor to get it altered and all. I just need quick and smart tips to make it look more formal and chic
You could go with the green earrings and necklace………but if I were you…….if I really wanted to dress it up…….I would go with silver or gold accessories. Both Silver and Gold go with green and can bring it up to formal………Silver is more in style now than gold…..so I have some links for you to look at:

My homecoming is November 11. I’m wearing a black chiffon tea-length dress that looks GREAT and is super comfy, but it’ll be cold (around 40 degrees) and I need some kind of coat. What can I wear that is cheap, but looks cute?

Why Should I Choose Pearl Jewelry For My Wedding?
For centuries, pearls have been synonymous with purity, sophistication and romance. There is nothing more classic than a Bride in a white flowing gown, her neck draped with dazzling white pearls.
Because pearls come in a variety of shapes, colors and overtones they are very versatile; allowing them to be a perfect choice to support most any wedding theme.
Matching the Wedding Theme
One should consider the overall theme of the wedding before deciding on which bridal pearl jewelry to buy.
Traditional
Pure white or ivory Akoya, South Sea or Freshwater pearl sets are the classic choice for a traditional wedding. Larger sizes, starting in the 7-8mm range are customary.
Modern / Contemporary
White South Sea pearl pendant and earring sets are excellent choices for a modern style wedding.
Tropical
Black Tahitian or Golden South Sea pearl sets are ideal choices for an exotic wedding.
Choosing Pearl Jewelry for the Wedding Party
The Bride
As she is the star of the ceremony, the Bride should wear the largest and prettiest pearls. Her pearls should reflect her individuality and personality as well as the wedding theme. She should also choose the highest quality pearls possible; preferably those with a rating of AAA. She should be free to choose the pearls that appeal to her most in color, overtone and size as well. Her pearl jewelry should possess the highest shine, color and beauty. This is her wedding day after all!
The length of her pearl necklace will be determined by the neckline of the dress she has chosen to wear. If the dress has a high neckline above the collarbones, a 16 inch choker necklace is most appropriate. If the dress has a moderate neckline slightly below the collarbones, a 17-18 inch necklace is the best choice. If she is wearing a dress with a low neckline, the 18-22 inch range is recommended.
A 32 inch single strand pearl necklace is also a good idea due to its adaptivity. For example, during the ceremony the Bride can double up the length, turning the necklace into a double strand. After the wedding, she can wear the necklace at its full length to create a fashionable effect.
For a modern, contemporary look, choose a White South Sea Pearl Pendant and Earring set.
The Bride’s pearl jewelry should also be complimentary and relative to her figure. If she is a petite woman, a small necklace and earring set in the 6.5-7.5mm range is appropriate. If she is of a moderate build, a necklace and earring set in the 7.5-8.5mm range is an excellent choice. Generally, 7-7.5mm is the most popular size; as it is neither too big nor too small in appearance.
Bridesmaids
During the ceremony the Bridesmaids are living extensions of the Brides’ own beauty; each one representing the love and friendship the Bride carries with her throughout her life. It is important for the Bridesmaids jewelry to reflect the Brides’ while not overshadowing it. For this reason smaller sizes, shorter lengths or different quality pearls than that of the Brides’ are very appropriate.
To especially distinguish your maid of honor, bestow her with pearls that are slightly bigger, longer or of a different color than that of the other Bridesmaids. This will make her stand out and feel that she is extra special to you.
Flower Girls
As the Flower Girl(s) is usually quite young, it is customary that their jewelry be smaller than that of the Bridesmaidsâ. A very small pearl size, such as 6-6.5mm, is quite appropriate. For pearl necklace length, choose something in the 14-15 inch range. Pearls represent both youthful brilliance and timeless beauty, making them appropriate for all ages.
Mothers and Grandmothers
The Brideâs Mother is usually quite involved in the preparation and planning of the wedding. To show your appreciation for all of her hard work, reward her with classic pearl jewelry. As a woman matures and ages she is complemented best by larger pearls; something starting in the 7-8mm size range. Longer necklace lengths, such as 18-22 inches, are appropriate as well and are sure to be much appreciated.
Groom and Groomsmen
Although your Groom may be unaware, pearls are appropriate for men as well as women. A pair of small 5.5-6.5mm pearls can be set into matching cufflinks; perfectly complimenting the Groomâs attire while adding an extra touch of class.
Overall
Ultimately, your wedding is a reflection of the commitment you and your partner have made to one another. Every aspect of the ceremony should represent this as much as possible. After all, this is supposed to be a celebration! Good luck!
