    I would like all the tall girls to notice my stance in both photos. It was the "drop your hip, put one foot way out, so you look shorter than your date without slouching" stance.

    You know, I never had a boyfriend who was visibly taller than me. I'm 6'1.5" so that's not particularly surprising! I had to dance with this guy at my school formal who was less than 5' tall, and I was wearing heels, and in one part of the dance you had to be spun under your arm, and I had to kind of squat down and twirl while he stretched up as high as he could. Such an awesome moment for us both...

    I wish my prom date would have known this. Though 4'11" (me) and 5'9" + 3 inch heels = 6'0" (her) she needed to do more than fix her stance. Any taller and I would have been kissing her bellybutton. Puberty was cruel to me!

    This guy was literally up to my bellybutton when we were in regular school shoes, and that was when we were about sixteen or seventeen. Oddly, I bumped into him a couple of years later and he was probably 5'8", literally a foot taller, and it took me quite a while to recognise him. I guess his growth spurt just came reeeeeeeally late. Being tall was awkward at times but I imagine being that short was worse :(

    I actually don't have any prom pictures....here is my first wedding (I am getting a divorce now - due to abuse/cheating). This dress was a size 18 (about 175 lbs), and now I am a size 8 (140 lbs).

    March 2007 - ~175 lbs

    Fun thread! My senior prom 2001. 160 pounds size 12 dress. 5'11
    It's before parents were okay with letting their daughters dress like hoochies for prom.

    That is truly a princess dress! Beautiful!

    I didn't get a Prom, but her is the photo we had for a Christmas party in 2001. I am the one in blue and I made the dress and I hate this photo. I have no idea how much I weighed but I don't wanna look like this. I have since lost weight around my face and I have curves in the right places just need to tone, so gonna join a gym and start lifting! Planning on having a prom themed birthday party in January so hopefully I will have arms I can be proud of by then!

    All these photos are GREAT! Here are pictures of me before my Senior Prom, with my husband, in May of 2005 and a picture of him and I after our wedding in May 2011, in the same pose. I was about the same weight in both pictures, maybe a 15lb difference. 2005 was abt, 250 lbs and 2011 was about 265 lbs.

    My dress was not black is was a pink/purple metallic, my hubby picked it out.

    Bump Love this thread! Unfortunately my high school sweetheart broke up with me right before our prom so I didn't get to go to mine.

    How do people get professional prom photos? Do you make a stop at the studio on your way there or re-stage the event?

    I couldn't find my formal pics from either my Jr or Sr proms, so here's a snapshot in front of my date's house from before our Jr. prom.

    I was around 160-170 and 5'6" all through high school both dresses were probably a size 10. Whenever I look at these pictures I wish I wasn't so hard on myself in High School, I always felt huge. While slightly overweight, I definitely wouldn't mind being that size now.
