It’s prom season and I have serious envy of all the girls dressing up right now. Back in the day when I had my year 11 leavers ball dress choices were both limited and expensive and I ended up not 100% loving what I wore and feeling guilty that I never wore it again (it was a brown silk maxi for anyone who’s wondering). This dress from Chi Chi may not be something I’d have chosen as a 16 year old who was a bit of a tomboy but it suits my current tastes perfectly. Anyone on a last minute hunt for a dress could do far worse than visit this amazing site, my dress retails at £49.99 which compared to the £100 I spent on my once worn Monsoon number is a total bargain- I’m also seeing it as potential for any summer weddings or posh parties too!
Bonus points to the weather and new patio table for letting me get some outside photos too. I would of worn this all day if I had somewhere to be, I love dressing up and feeling like a princess.
What was your prom dress like? Or if you’re shopping for prom right now, what have you got your eye on?

What a gorgeous dress – and such a good price.
I wore a red satin number (sounds vile, looked lovely!) which I managed to pick up in typically thrifty style from a sale!!

*swoon* That dress is gorgeous Laura! I love the exposed back. We never had a prom at school so no prom dresses for me 🙁
that dress is so beautiful! xx
How pretty you look.
Proms weren’t around when I was at school. We had a leaver’s disco. I wore red floral high waisted trousers, a matching vest and electric blue fetish boots along with a spiral perm (well, it was 1985). xxx
Sooo pretty! For a second there I thought we both had the same chi chi dress! 😉
I wore all black and looked like Morticia…*shudder*

Ah what an incredibly pretty dress, you look absolutely lovely 🙂
I wasn’t too thrilled with my own prom dress. I’d picked one out a few months earlier but then my weight changed rapidly on medication so it was a case of finding something that would do last minute which took the fun out of it 🙁 I absolutely loved my jewellery though, got the most amazing star and pearl necklace from Mikey 🙂

what a lovely dress, the back is gorgeous! xx
Beautiful dress, you look super gorgeous, it compliments your colouring.
This is my favourite outfit of yours ever. I just got a dress c/o Chi Chi and I was really amazed and happy with it. I adore the low back, the lace and the colour. You look beautiful.
This would be perfect for prom, I agree!! I really love the back, that’s sexy.:) I actually didn’t go to my prom, it was my own choice and I don’t regret it one bit, but I remember I wanted to wear leather pencil skirt and a black corset over a white long-sleeve shirt.:D
Beautiful Laura 🙂
And you forced me into buying one of their dresses to boot (well okay not forced but I couldn’t resist).

Oh Laura you look beautiful here, I love that photo of the back of the dress! I wore a brown silk maxi too,which was Monsoon but I got in a charity shop, spooky!

I don’t have Internet at home at the mo, so I’m somewhat absent! But I couldn’t resist checking in to say howdy. Hope you’re doing good! Hugs xx
Love these pictures, you look beautiful. My prom dress was black and purple, I seem to remember. And, no, I never wore it again! xx
Such a pretty dress!
Wow honey you look beautiful in that dress what a pretty look! Like Vix proms were before my time and I’m glad my 16 year old self would have hated it xxx
That dress is beautiful! Suits you well too 🙂

i never went to a prom but i did crash my friend’s one time. great to see some photos in the sun dude, you look well.
this is so pretty, especially the bow on the back! i loved my prom dress at the time, it was a greeny-blue ball gown type but i’m never going to wear it again! x
That dress is soooo pretty! 🙂
You look fabulous! This dress is so pretty!
My prom dress was ivory with an overlay with gold flowers on. Maybe something like a bride would wear? (not bfgw style though!) Many at my prom wore bride/bridesmaid style dresses, Haha. I loved my dress. I still have it but it was something I could never wear again, not your everyday dress lol. Xx
You look beautiful Laura. Thats such a stunning dress.

My year 11 prom dress was a several sizes too large, purple, floor length hand-me-down from my mum and best not spoken of.
My college leavers do dress was gorgeous, blue and black from Miss Selfridge. I still own it. Good times!
This is gorgeous and you’re looking mighty fine too! I love the back of the dress and your shoes.
