For my senior prom, I was determined to wear the puffiest gown known to promkind, one big enough to cover all of Arcadia. No store could accommodate my puffy request so I had one custom made. My strapless princess cut bodice maroon gown was one of a kind. At every fitting, I asked for more puff. By the time the dress was finished, dense layers of tulle covered a hula hoop size petticoat. I was ready for prom! And I had a ball! Never mind the fact nobody sat next to me at dinner because my dress took up three seats. And okay, I toppled over five times while trying to get out of the limo causing a bit of in-limo traffic congestion. And now that I think about it, I didn't actually dance with my date because the dress's large base circumference walled me in. Basically, my dress was my prom date. But I loved every minute of prom because I was wearing exactly what I wanted to wear.
Thank you Bloomingdale's for jolting my prom memories! And Laundry, if you ever need design ideas, let me know and I can dust off and take out my tulled gown out of storage. There might be a few four-legged things housed underneath the dress but we'll take care of it.
