Agreed. Freaking love Betsey Johnson and I don't have super conservative tastes even for major events, but Miz Johnson can be a little out there for something like pref. But totally fun for a semiformal!

(Alumiyum, nothing against your choice - like I said, I'm personally more conservative ).

Well it depends on what you buy. I stay away from cheap dresses (for major events...I love them when I'm going out and it doesn't matter) whenever possible because they almost never fit right and I have definitely had embroidery come undone at an event or a seam start unraveling, but on the plus side if you find the right one, it looks appropriate, and it doesn't last for more than pref, who cares? It's only $30. That being said, the ones I posted were the only ones I thought were appropriate out of pages and pages of "party" dresses. So...yeah. You do have to be careful.

I'm so quoting this back to my mom the next time she asks me why I waste my money on really incredible dresses (only she calls them completely unnecessary purchases.)
