Sweet Cream
A knee-length dress with adorable little bows sprinkled throughout becomes especially fetching when you throw a creamy cardigan over your shoulders.

FIDM Merchandise Product Development Student Rachel looks amazing in a dress by Jenny N ($74.40), vintage jewelry and cardigan, and shoes (not picture) by Seychelles

Tea for Two
Peep toe shoes paired with contrasting socks are so of-the-moment, and a deliciously pink frock with gloves complete the ladylike look.  For guys, dark jeans add a dash of cool to formal black shoes, a crisp, patterned oxford, and a brimmed hat. 

FIDM Visual Communications Major Erin is picture perfect in a Jenny N dress ($76.80), shoes by Delicious, socks from Chinese Laundry, jewelry by Tarina Tarantino, and vintage gloves.
Her date, Brandon, a FIDM Graphic Design Major, looks casually fine in a shirt from Ted Baker, Dockers belt, shoes from Banana Republic, and a hat from San Diego Hat Company.

Cup of Gold
A delicate, lacy dress is made fun and flirty when it hits above the knee, and the swingy silhouette makes it easy to move on the dance floor!

FIDM Merchandise Marketing Student Caitlyn flaunts her flirty side in a dress by Fashion Spy ($101), shoes (not pictured) from Michael Antonio, and Tarina Tarantino jewelry.

You've got the dress, the shoes, and the jewelry...Now head to Makeover Magic on Fashion Club and get tips for flawless makeup for the big night!

Although the looks are fantastic, they're not very "Prom-Like"; they're too casual.

[Alana]

I agree with Liz. These don't seem to have the type of vibe for prom. Maybe that's why it's a "Tea Party" fashion.

I absolutely adore this theme!! I love anything old-fashioned & vintage!!

[courtney]

Vintage prom is beautiful and should happen more often but I think there could b done more with the dresses as far as length and colors...more ruby reds and lacy lengths would really get the point across as a vintage "ball"

[renee stokes]

[amber]

I'm agree with them, this dresses are wonderful but they aren't for a Prom. I would use them in a casual day.

According to my analysis, thousands of people on our planet receive the loan from well known creditors. Hence, there's good chances to find a consolidation loan in any country.
