Mine are too old for social media, but if I get a chance to dig around later I'll post.

Ditto.  I did post some old pics from high school on FB but not from prom.  Ill just have to see if I can find one in an old frame when I get home from work.

Back from my FB spiral, It was kind of a hoot to see stuff I'd forgotten about!

Here's the front of my prom dress

POOF
Back of the dress and hair-POOF
With my date-
POOF

And the classic *gotta have it* limo pose;)
POOF
I had two albums for prom on FB and I have so many pictures with people that I haven't heard from in what seems like forever! Makes me almost wish for our 10 year reunion. (O,U? )

mrsmonogrammed you look fab! Total opposite of my dress, mine was tight fishtail all ivory with a thick black stripe down the front, what the hell was I thinking lol

Thank you:) Sometiems I wish I had been body confident enough to get something tight and sexy!

Now you haaaaave to show us a pic!

[mrsmonogrammed]

Feeling very AW-ish here ladies...Help a girl out and let me see your pretty dresses!

madymoiselle did you guys have any dances at all in HS?

[Deleted]

I didn't go to a prom. I was at an all girls boarding school so it just wasn't a thing. We had one but I was at horse shows both years instead.

ETA:  However we did have a formal senior sing out ceremony.   I"m in the back row, second from the right. 

[billyhorrible]

mrsmonogrammed, my junior prom dress was really similar to yours, but it was lime green. And I dyed a pair of converse high tops lime green to match.

[tiffbot]

I had to go find a picture to take a picture of too haha.

We don't do prom here, and we don't do cap and gown grad at our school, grade 12 graduation is the big dress up party at the end of the year.


Poof

[holliberry28]

@jemomma, you totally poofed your dress too quick!

I'll have to take a picture of a picture later on tonight! Do we want the sober pictures or the after party wasted ones??

mrsmonogrammed, you look like Cinderella!

Sorry holliberry28, I can repost in a little while. madymoiselle, informed me that if you clicked on the photo, it took you to my photobucket where you could then view my full name and other photos. Thanks Photobucket.

Ahh, totally get why you poofed that, then. Not cool, photobucket.

[baytosa2013]

I have zero pictures from waaaayyyy back then on the interwebz. I went to one formal dance my whole HS career and that was Senior Prom.

[Deleted]

I just wanted to say that every time I scroll past the title of this thread I think it says AW your PORN pictures.

[purple]

Wow. You all look lovely, but I really can't imagine wearing posh frocks like those to a school event. Over here, people finish school at different times because it depends what subjects you're doing. Lessons finish before the Easter holidays and after that people only have to go to school on the days they have exams. After your last exam you've finished school :-) And graduation in cap and gown is something that happens at university. I usually do a double take when people talk about graduating from high school.

[gilder40]

billyhorrible Lime green Converse? I think I love you! I'm all about the comfort and the Converse! Lol.

[hannahl201477]

*poof
What a baby I was!

[periwinkledaydreams]

Hmm now I wonder if I could track down a prom picture.. add me to the "no such thing as social media when I was in HS" group. It never occured to me when this question was asked that ANYONE could find their prom picture on the internet haha!

[belle0720]

I only have this on the interwebs because my friend's mom posted it a while back.

I'm the extraordinarily tan one (thanks tanning beds) on the right in a white dress with eye shadow up to her eyebrows.

This is gonna disappear in a couple of hours for sure.

*POOF!*

[belle0720]

@hazeldublin, belle0720 LOLOL I have no idea where our shoes are, I mean it was almost 13 years ago. We certainly had shoes somewhere! It was tradition to give your date a garter that they would wear on their arm so for the picture we all put them on our leg (cause it's sexy, obviously guys). And yes little flowers in my hair.

[periwinkledaydreams]

The little flowers in the hair is soooo early 00's. Love it!

[mrsmonogrammed]

+1 to the garter tradition belle0720 except guys used to keep them on their rear view mirrors in their cars after the dance was over!

ETA- pics- POOF
Our tradition was super serious because you got tags engraved with your names to add on to it!

It was also tradition to carry a bouquet rather than a corsage. Don't ask me why because I have no idea!

[belle0720]

mrsmonogrammed Oh yeah guys definitely put their garters on their rear view mirrors!

Wish I had a picture from senior year homecoming or prom to post, I actually still like my dresses and hair from those!

[carolyngrace]

Oh man, how did your daddies feel about the garter tradition?! I'm sure I would have done it if it were a "thing" at my school, but looking at those photos seems so scandalous now lol

[carolyngrace]

Alright, my Jr. and Sr. Prom dresses were so different. Junior year I went for a princess look. The bottom was tulle like mrsmonogrammed.


Senior year I went for a tacky as hell look. Don't mind the hair extensions.

[erbear]

I'll go take a picture of a picture soon. It's bad. Oooh boy!

[carolyngrace]

holliberry28, Yes to wasted pics if you have them! FFMC: I was on more than alcohol at my senior prom. Aint no one want to see a photo of me at the end of that night. HOT MESS.

Ha I have those too. It was also tradition for the "Monday after prom" to be senior ditch day. So usually all the seniors rent cabins/ hotel rooms in Wisconsin Dells (waterparks) with their friends and spend the weekend getting drunk and basically sending senior year out in style. It was an awesome weekend!

[periwinkledaydreams]

Poof.

[periwinkledaydreams]

Why are my pictures GIGANTIC?

[pghtruelove]

These are the only two I can find.

This is my Sophomore year my boyfriend was a senior.
And this one is from my Jr year. You can't see my dress very well but it looked very much like the white Marilyn dress but in royal blue. I love that dress.

[paintdadanta]

My school didn't "do" prom, so we had a Junior Senior instead - almost same thing, different name. Can't believe how long ago this was, we were so young and we are both still good friends.

Poof

[griffindor24]

So I'm a little late to this party but cool story: I went to prom with my DH (then just my date) and then almost exactly 3 years later we took our wedding pictures at the exact same location. Also, I look back and wonder what the heck DH was thinking with that hair style at prom...
