Real fast pref night dress help

[Aerylle]

Out of mild curiosity, would a dress like this be too casual for Pref Night?

This?

The link just takes you to the homepage, but I'm guessing something from Target will probably be too casual.

That's not necessarily true (if it's from the Mossimo misses line or the Merona line it might be dressy enough).

But the link worked for me and no it is not dressy enough.

If you're shooting for Target, look for a dress with a black tag (instead of a pink or red one) - these are from the Misses line and are a little longer/more covered/more appropriate for preference night. I don't think the monthly line is dressy clothes this quarter.

Try everything at Target on - sometimes the fit is wrong or it'll be waaaaay short.

/end I worked at Target for far too long

Black "tag"?

The tags? Like, the price tag? The tag on the inside of the dress?

Online they're titled Mossimo Black and Merona.

Oooh.

Okay. :]

Yeah, the link isn't working... but I'll agree with Lady Pi. Unless your school has a really laid back recruitment, Target isn't the best option.

[Aerylle]

Hm. Dunno why the link isn't working. ]:

But yeah, you are probably right.

Never mind. :]

Some places where you might be able to find a dress that is fancy enough for the same price range are: Forever21, TJMaxx, Marshalls, and Ross. You can also check out sales that department stores are having because they might still be unloading summer dresses for cheap. (Though be certain of their return policy on sale items when you buy, in case you think you'll change your mind.) All the stores I listed can be hit and miss, hence the "might". Worth looking, though!

Personally, I think almost everything at Forever 21 is too short. Please be sure to try anything you are considering from there on.

It's best to try on ANYTHING you buy, but that is a good point to consider...I'm short so I very rarely have length problems (well, too short anyway...almost everything is too long), but a lot of my dresses from there would probably be way too short for recruitment on someone who is 5'9"+.

Stores like Forever21 are very hit and miss. Sometimes they will have dresses that do not look cheap, are classy, and appropriate for the occasion. Sometimes there won't be one thing that would be appropriate. It's partially luck.

The price tag... they're color coordinated to tell you which department the item is from

[Aerylle]

So something like this or this or this?
