Dress opinion...

[Kansas City]

They both look like nice dresses, depending on how they actually fit you (length, etc.) but I agree that pref should be a bit more dressy without being too formal. I'd wear either (or both) dresses earlier in the process.

On a similar note ... for those who have been on the other side, do you really remember what dress the pnm wore to your pref parties? I'm not talking about the odd-ball memorable ones but the everyday classic dresses that the majority wore. I went through rush 15 years ago or so and really can't remember what I wore, let alone what someone else wore.

I like the first one simply because it can be dressed down or dressed up. Also since you said that you are going through in the Fall at Vandy you probably wont even have a preference night because it is informal recruitment.

I do, but only because we (those rushing from my dorm floor) took a group picture before we left.

I couldn't tell you what any of rushees were wearing when I was preffing them. As far as clothes go, I always figured if you were dressed appropriately, then the clothes are no longer important and the focus is on your personality. If do something crazy- like wearing hose with sequins up the back, then you are remembered more for the clothes.

The only ones I remember are the odd-ball memorable ones, like the time a girl came in her senior prom dress. Remember, this was the mid-80s so just imagine the dress!
