What do you remember from your high school prom?
Comments (43)Our school had a junior-senior prom. It was a small school so I guess they needed two classes to fill the Elks Club ballroom. Don't remember my gown or date my junior year. I'd have to get out the yearbook--wherever it is. :0 My senior year I was dating a guy from the next town. I was very small and we had a terrible time finding a gown to fit. I don't know why my mother didn't make it. She always made our clothes. About a month before prom, mother and daddy went to Columbus, Ohio to visit my aunt and uncle and mother found the prettiest dress. It was a size 3 and she had to alter it. It was short, dusty rose organdy with spaghetti straps (nothing to hold up a topless gown). Across the bodice was a row if deep rose and dusty rose organdy flowers that could be removed (I kept them). I loved that dress! My date brought me a corsage of pink baby roses with babies breath that I pressed and kept for years. After the prom ended at midnight (a treat for all of us to be up that late back then), the Seniors had an all-night party. It was also at the Elks Club. We all changed into bermuda shorts, which were the new hot thing, and danced, played games and ate until about 5 when they served us breakfast. It was a lot of fun and emotional because we were graduating and sure we'd never see each other again. You know how emotional HS girls can be. A lot of kids in my class ended up back in R-ville. Nice little town to raise a family. It'll be 50 years next month since that prom night. Sure wish I was going to the reunion in June!...See MoreUrgent! Need pattern for plus size vintage prom dress

Comments (18)Although today the term corsage refers to any small bouquet of flowers that a woman wears,[5] the tradition of wearing them pinned to clothing dates as far back as Ancient Greece, when small bunches of fragrant flowers and herbs were worn at weddings to ward off evil spirits.[6] During the 16th and 17th centuries, corsages and boutonnieresmay have been a part of daily life to prevent disease and to ward off evil spirits, but over time, they became special-occasion pieces.[7] The word corsage comes from the French term bouquet de corsage, meaning "a bouquet of the bodice" which was traditionally worn by women to weddings and funerals.[5] Eventually, the term shortened to corsage.[7] In the early 19th century, corsages were regarded as a courting gift and were often given at formal dances.[6] Traditionally, the gentleman would bring a gift of flowers for his date's parents and would select one of the flowers to give to his date, which would then be carried or attached to her clothing, usually on the shoulder.[6] During the 1950s, some corsages were made with fruit and would be seen on hats for decoration.[4] As dress styles changed, pinning the corsage to the dress became impractical, and wrist corsages became the norm.[6]...See MoreMy beautiful “soccer player”
