0NEL0VEEx answered Monday January 22 2007, 4:14 pm: alright=]. i would suggest wearing a nice dress, but not a poofy one. something along the lines of this: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) see how it's fitted and nice and long, but not too poofy so it's not dressy? and if you get a really long one, people won't know you're not wearing heels so you can wear nice flip flops like things! or some kind of dressy sandals =] i know at dances, people sometimes take their shoes off.. so if you see other people doing that, take advantage of it! lol =P also, don't wear your hair up high because you'll look even taller. if you get your hair done professionally, and maybe they can do your hair to make you look not taller than him =] don't feel silly wearing nice dresses, it's fun! if you get a simple dress and accessorize it up, you'll be fine! good luck baaaaabee♥ [ 0NEL0VEEx's advice column | Ask 0NEL0VEEx A Question ]

Check out [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) for ideas, and if you can't afford that, go to local vintage stores or even buy online. If you can't wear high heels, you should probably wear kitten-heels...you can't wear flats or sandals. Don't put your hair up high on your head, and you won't look that much taller.
For the dresses, go don't go for something with sequins or glitter-try a simple dress in a color you like, with minor emblishments. Make sure it's not made of nylon or a lot of lyrca, and hopefull you'll feel comfortable.
Have fun! [ misskatherine's advice column | Ask misskatherine A Question ]
