grrrrrrrrrr >:\
so apparently this: http://twitpic.com/5y8k8
is too old-looking, an awful colour, and also too long so will drag through mud (for May Ball).
after much throwing of furniture, here are some of the suggested alternatives:
Midnight taffeta ball gown
Wine taffeta ruched ballgown
Wine taffeta waterfall ball gown
Dark red taffeta ball gown
all of which i tend to think will only highlight chinese-swimmer shoulders even more, and are just as long so will still drag in mud anyway, but hey, what do i know? :\
p/s: who holds a ball outside anyway?? :\
