I like the black one with the white band a lot. The others IMO are either too bare on top or too short (or both).

I love the black one with white band. My second choice is the black/pink one. I think you could wear either again.

Are these from the juniors dept? If so, try to search in the misses department. The dresses there will have more appropriate hemlines and fabrics. I noted a lot of "spandex" in those dresses, and my personal opinion would be to stay away from that. Again, you want to aim for classy.

The style of the white sash is the best of the lot, however the fabric looks like it could appear "cheap" in person. As someone has already stated- just invest in a nice, classy, mature LBD. You will have many, many opportunities to wear it again.

Good for you starting your search early!
