black jersey midi dress Sculptural (Women) Great for any cup size Threadbare Women's Utility Jersey Poplin

You may be able to pass with any floor-length dress, but ball gowns tend to have more structured fabrics and volume through the skirt

Model is 57 (170 cm) tall with a 79cm/31 bust, 66cm/26 waist, 91cm/35 hips, and she is wearing XS

If you go dark, make sure the brown is clearly distinguishable from your pants

Black collared shirts have a tendency to overpower the suits or ties they're paired with and turn an already all-black look into a black hole of indecipherable menswear

Think quality fabrics that move with you, fits that flatter without trying too hard, and styles that work whether you're hitting Nashville or staying local

So many gals opted for this style because it was super trendy, but I wonder if they look back on their prom pictures and wish they'd gone for something more adventurous
