Getting my Senior year Spring Banquet dress

So my school doesn't have prom or homecoming because I attend a Christian school. We do however have Banquets and this may we are having our spring banquet at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and spa. Like public schools, we do dress up in prom/homecoming dresses and the guys are obviously in classy suits/tuxs and we have music and a lovely dinner. afterwards, we go places and do whatever. that is our banquet in a nutshell. Now onto the dress.

I got my dress at Price Breakers in National City and it is a long red dress. i dont have the dress with me now because it has to be taken in a little bit and i will be picking it up May 1st so i will probably post it on here when i get it. the picture i have of it now is kinda weird because im not supposed to have taken a picture because they dont allow pictures and i didnt have the zipper zipped because they zip it up themselves so you dont have to buy it yourself when the zipper breaks. so in the picture i am literally holding it to me with my arm. It is deepish red and one shoulder.  it has alot of rouching and on one side it has this sort of braided detail. the dress does have a train and its about 6-12 inches. so its not thaaat long but its still nice. the theme of this banquet is 007.

at first i had seen this lovely silver sequined dress that i never would have gotten if the event wasnt themed, but it seemed to fit the bond girl thing pretty good. i decided to try it on just for kicks to see if i liked it and i forgot one thing. i am not mannequin sized. i am a latin girl who has wide hips and does not fit into some dresses that otherwise would look good on lets say, an asian girl who tends to look good in almost anything. the dress did have a slit which added to the glam but hey. it was hideous on me. but ill see if i kept a picture of the dress on the hanger.

There was a dress that i fell completely in love with. i saw it on the internet but i knew it was not meant to be because the dress was 238.00! aint nobody got enough money to throw away on that... but the dress was amazing!! It is red with a slit and some beading on the neckline which is a low v neck line but not so low that it shows everything. i like trains so the dress did have a train a bit longer than the dress that i bought and the back was gorgeous too. it has open back but the straps do criss cross. i think i found it on promgirl.com but im not sure. i just saved the picture on my phone. so ill try to post a picture of that one too. i was so sad that i couldnt use that for my senior year but im thankful that i still was able to get a dress.

so this was just an update on how the whole banquet thing is coming along, ill see if i can post a picture when i get the dress back from alterations. :)
