[quote=Anonymous]I graduated from high school in 1986.  The last year for uniformly hoopskirted prom dresses.  I wore a full-length pale pink satin with polyester lace overlay princess/fantasy shepherdess-looking Gunne Sax dress.  I had bought this $160 dress new off the clearance rack for $15 in perfect condition at a mall store in June the year before!  I looked "Pretty in Pink" but in kind of a Queen Elizabeth 1 x Mother Goose kind of way.

Tea length was a daring and rare choice for prom then.  But it didn't take very many years after that before prom went from hoopskirts to skimpy, tight fitting cocktail type dresses.  Still think the giant full-skirted dresses were prettier.  But they were less fun to spend an evening in.

There was just one girl at prom who had a relatively tight-fitting, glittery dress (electric blue mermaid-style sheath).  It was said to have cost the shocking sum of $300 and to have come from a fashion boutique in a downtown skyscraper in my inland metropolis.  [/quote]
