Prom Gone Wrong

What do you call a rainbow-colored bubble dress, a beautiful lady and the prom night? Answer: a prom fashion disaster. Harharhar.

Prom nights can be a nightmare or a fantasy come to life. Can't decide which? Read on and judge.

Case #1: The day of the prom, I put my dress on and was almost ready to go. Then, my dog jumped up as if to tell me "Have Fun!" or something and ripped my dress from the knee down. Needless to say, I had to go to prom with a ripped dress, but get this. A girl at my same prom had MY same dress. As if the rip wasn't bad enough, I lost all sense of originality for my senior prom.

Case #2: After I arrived at the prom with my date, I caught the hem of my dress with my heel. The shoe just caught it then let go so I thought nothing of it. When I removed my coat, I realized the slit on the side of my gown that was at my knee had split along the seam to my upper thigh. The dress looked like it was made that way. The fitted dress was very daring now but I thought it would be ok. It was only later that night that my girlfriend told me that you could see that I was not wearing panties under my pantyhose. I was so embarrassed.

A Prom Hair Nightmare

Case #3: Me and my friend were getting our hair done for the prom, the hairdresser left the dye on too long and when she washed it out clumps of hair were running down the sink. To make matters worse, it was the wrong color! Instead of blonde streaks, they were green! As we got to the prom it was really hot and stuffy and the dye started dripping down our white prom dresses. As we walked out of the prom, I tripped over my dress and my friend fell on top of me. Everyone saw and laughed. My dress had ripped all the way up. I grabbed it but it got stuck on the door handle and I ended up running away naked. What a prom disaster!

Ok, ok, ok. So all of these are disasters. Who cares? Some of us go through them. Some don't. At least, after 20 or 30 years, we will have something to look back on and laugh about. Or maybe not.
