Ha ha, I clicked on this thread to see just how quickly some jealous mom would react to OP in disgust. You pulled the trigger even more quickly than I thought!

I still remember the parents' formal at our daughter's sorority. It was very nice. As I recall, it was black tie? One of the sisters came from a billionaire family with well known parents and they actually showed up. We got to meet them. It was interesting! No harm done at all.

That was UVA, btw.

A room full of Republican pedos is not something people aspire to.

A room full of parents who can not let their ADULT children have their own lives funny... gross... and dumb. But hey given your responses we have already seen dummy is fitting.

If you think my 1% world is accepting you nope.

Your 1% world? What makes it your world?

I’m also part of the 1% world. I am not a sorority mom. But I don’t need to tear down what clearly makes a lot of people happy.

Tuckernut for dresses. Online is better than the store.

Then why are you on this thread?

Because you can still get links to dresses you might use later.

Both the initial response and this one is unsurprising. It’s completely predictable that these women, who are trying to relive college through their daughters, can only imagine someone would have a limited range of emotion and would project that on to others.

DP here. I went to my daughter’s sorority formal for parents. This was in a midwestern state, not UVA like so many posters are pointing to.

I was invited. I went.

It really isn’t as deep as you’re trying to make it. It’s not because I wanted to relive my youth. It isn’t because I have a limited range of emotion. It’s not because I’m a MAGA republican like some poster suggested. (Which I’m not anyway.)

I was invited. I went.

But I suppose if you are the type of person who needs to tear others down to feel better about yourself, then you’re welcome to criticize me. Happy to provide that service for you.

I was hoping there would be some useful dress links in here as I also need a long formal dress for a different event (military ball). Instead I stumbled upon a bunch of bored petty moms arguing. Never change DCUM, never change.....

This dress reads "cougar" on a woman over 40. And I say this as a woman over 40 who wears clothes that are pretty sexy.

Really? I dress really conservatively and don’t get that at all. You could a blazer on top and go to work.

DP but yes, really. That dress looks so skanky. Unless you are 100 pounds it will look cheap at work.

I don't even know why you suggested a short Ponte dress for a black tie event either.

Hey OP- my DD is at UVA and I’m attending her sorority formal as well and I’m really looking forward to a fun evening! No need to justify or pander to the ridiculous comments/ put downs on this thread. Whatever.

Have a great time with your dd! You’re going to look fabulous!

Hmm. My sister was a pi phi at uva and never would have mentioned this to my parents who couldn’t have afforded it and their presence might have been embarassing for her with her richer “sisters.” I do wonder if it’s awkward for the girls who aren’t from that sort of family.

My niece was a Pi Phi at UVA and there were definitely parent formals bc my sister and bil had to go! This is within last few years.

Look at Saloni on sale. Try the Fleur dress in a midi length in particular if you're not sure people are actually going to do floor length gowns.

Menopause getting to you?

Emotional maturity of a teenager, I see. Sad.

Teenager > Menopausal Boomer

Ah, I see the problem. You are not actually a teenager, just aging clinger on.

No but you’re actually a menopausal boomer.

You people are so weird to me.

Let's recap, shall we?

Your adult child, going through an extremely transitional/complex phase of life, joins a club. The club hosts a party for parents during parents' weekend. Your child invites you.

And your response is "I'd have 100 better things to do?"

I wouldn’t have thought it needs to be said, but young adults all over this country, for decades, have managed to master the difficult transition to college without mom and dad showing up in fancy dress to drink with them.
