Friendship Dance is approaching, as is the need to buy a dress for the dance. There are many different styles, but what is the most common, and what is the style for this year?
With Webster’s dance being scheduled for much later than a typical Homecoming, most students already have dresses for the dance.
Female students were asked about their dresses and what they think is the typical style this year brings.
Junior Kiran Bergfeld said, “Honestly, I was kind of looking for something quickly because I feel like because our homecoming is so late, it’s hard to find a dress because a lot of stuff gets sold out. So I was really excited to find a dress over the summer that I liked.”
With styles tending to change year by year, there are different dresses available this year that may not have been seen last year. What was popular last year, may not even be sold in stores this year.
On the topic, sophomore Phoebe Rohlfing said, “I honestly feel like it is kind of narrow… I’ve only seen a couple dresses, and I feel like I’ve seen a lot of repeats if I’m being completely honest.”
Rohlfing described her dress as a strapless, seafoam green, and that it was sparkly. She added that she got it from Splash.
Freshman Elizabeth Foppe said, “I would say it’s definitely up there. It’s like more tans, more strapless dresses, more makeup, more sequins. So it’s more of everything.”
Students like Rohlfing and Hinyard-Lash had an idea of what they wanted before they began the shopping process, but where they looked was a variety of different places. Some opt for the in-person options with places like West County and Dillard’s. While others choose online shopping.
Senior Sonia Archambault said, “I’m looking at malls like West County. Also online, like there’s a lot of online things. You don’t know what’s good though because some of them look like scams.”
Another thing to think about is pricing. There is a wide range of prices for dresses and finding the right price could be a major factor into where you look. At places like Windsor the prices range from $10 to $160.
Following current trends or not, everyone deals with shopping for their outfit beforehand. Everyone has their own way of doing it, whether that is well beforehand, right before, in person or online.
