indie prom: for the romantics

Lockets are truly romantic, so if you’ve found yourself a girly, frilly dress, add to it with a gorgeous faux abalone locket from ColieArt.
There is space for two pictures, so you can plop one of your beau in there to surprise him and then change it out with your prom picture to remember the night.

indie prom: one shoulder dress

(image courtesy of porter grey)
My prom dress was a one-shouldered asymmetrical black velvet dream. I still own that dress because I love it.
This dress, by the awesome Porter Grey, reminds me of my dress, so I had to post it. It’s got a shimmery look to it and is super simple. Maybe some big bangles […]

indie prom: kahri ’50s dress

(image: kahri)
It’s a little 50’s swinger a little punk. I love Kahri’s stuff, because it just screams rock ‘n roll. The embellishments on this dress are great, and it’s something you could wear to another event, too.
In purple only. Small to large. $200.
Get it at Kahri’s shop.

I’ve featured Angela Johnson before, because she makes such great dresses. Her t-shirt party dress is a good option for prom, but I wanted to point out the ball gown version.
It’s your classic great big ball gown, except it’s made out of t-shirts. You can give Angela a bunch of t-shirts you want […]

indie prom: jackie dress

(image: dotted line)

Dotted line usually makes work-wear for women, but there are a few after-hours dresses that I really love. The Jackie dress is so inspiring. It’s so retro glam! It’s satin and […]
