2 girls going to prom together


Question Posted Tuesday January 23 2007, 7:31 pm

My best friend is my prom "date" since my boyfriend doesn't want to go. She was going to wear a tux to match my dress (dark red) but another girl im friends with is going with her girlfriend and is wearing a tux! I wanted our outfits to be unique. Does anyone have any ideas besides her going in a tux that we could do to be different from everyone else? Since we arent going to be the only "girl couple" and the only girl in a tux..
I know its kind of immature, but i want to be unique!

you could get the same dress or the same style in a diffent color or one of you could where a top hat type out fit you guys could find a theme to cordinate to like the 50's,60's,e.tc. you guys could try to find something at a vintage store they usually have one of the king stuff i got a really pretty dress from one for 50 bucks in perfect condition....its not realy immature i think unique is the best way to go.

There are hundreds of different feminine tuxedos - I'm sure it will be easy for you to find one that will be different from the one that the other "couple" selects.

However, when it comes right down to it, you're just going to have to bite the bullet and acknowledge that you won't be unique in that regard. You certainly can't ask them to change their plans. What you might be able to do is talk to them and ensure that the tuxedos that your "dates" choose are sufficiently different from each other that it won't invite direct comparison. Maybe your "date" could wear a top hat or something?

Of course, another possible solution is that she could wear a dress instead. This won't solve the matter of you not being "unique", because every other girl (save one) will also be wearing a dress, but it will save you from being compared to them.

By the way, as a former prom photographer, I have this request on behalf of my comrade who will be at your event: please tell him whether you want to be posed as a couple, or as friends. It's a difficult question for a photographer to ask for fear of offending a customer, and you'll get a better picture if you can just volunteer that answer.

You could try duct-tape prom outfits if you're dedicated and creative. That's just my 2 cents.
