                                                                            The Perfect Dress 

    I have no idea if we are having prom 100% but I am already stressing myself out planning what would happen if we do have one. I went out and tried on hundreds of dresses last week. I finally found the perfect one. Thankfully I was actually able to try on dresses on in person.  It would definitely be a bummer if something were to happen and it was just a no go for prom this year. Anyways going back about to the part about trying on dresses in person last year I was not able to. I remember last year I was supposed to go to prom and I spent so much money on my dress. Let me tell you, I was more mad that my dress turned out hideous rather than us not having a prom at all. I knew the moment it came in the mail, it was already a red flag. It wasn't even packed in a box, it was tightly wrapped in a bag... Whoever wrapped it, did not care about the beading, or even the wrinkles it would get. It came from a "good boutique" but it looked like an old wedding dress, that was cheaply made. 

    I was so mad and scared at the moment what I would do for prom that year. I only had a month to find the right dress and it was not going well with all the shops closed. Not only that but shipping takes forever and so does alterations. Looking at it now, it was a funny experience.  It was like one of those memes, the "what you expected and what you really got." The material was completely off, and it was a whole different color. It was almost like shop tried to recreate the dress and failed at it. Although I ended up loosing a lot of money because of last years prom fiasco, I was able to find a beautiful dress this year. If prom doesn’t happen, I'd be perfectly fine wearing it my senior year. I can’t even tell you how thankful I am, that malls are open, shops are open, and the world is slowly starting to open.
