It looks like a prom dress or bridesmaid's "Yes, you CAN wear it again" dress.

Here's hoping that Ole Miss posts fresh 2014 wardrobe pics soon!

I hope so, too. I don't like any of those dresses.

Texas A & M Pref?

The recruitment guide says cocktail dress. Would this be appropriate?

Yes, my daughter is thinking about it. The recruitment guide said cocktail dress. She was shopping at "the store" in College Station and this is what the girl working there said would be 'perfect'. I'm not so sure about it though.

No...not in Oxford, MS in Sept/Oct....well, or even at all. Can't say whether it's OK in College Station. That's a different story altogether..

Auburn has a nice Pinterest page up: http://www.pinterest.com/AubPanhellenic/

Pretty short hemlines to my eye, but a lot of lovely choices and a good "don'ts" page.

I like the Auburn suggestions, except for the strapless for Pref. I know some girls will choose strapless, but I would never recommend it. Too much tugging and insecurity, and very few people really look good in that style.

ETA: I sing for weddings, so I go to an average of 20 or more weddings a year, and 99.9999999% of brides are choosing strapless gowns. Only about 10% of brides look good in them and can act composed and comfortable. When they also choose strapless for bridesmaids, all hell breaks loose. There is always the bigger girl who has overhang, the girls with tattoos, etc. Just not a great choice in most cases.

That's because it's all the bridal shops are pushing. Probably because a strapless means that you need to buy necklaces and bracelets and a more ornate veil to go with them. Everyone needs to follow Kate Middleton's example.

And I feel SO sorry for these bridesmaids stuck in them. I don't know why mothers (of the bride and the maids) aren't stepping in and telling the bride that it doesn't make her prettier if her maids are in dresses that do nothing for them.
