Graduation evening in the 11th grade is usually celebrated by everyone: graduates, parents and teachers. There is clearly a lack of new ideas for organizing and holding this significant event and everything is going according to the traditional program proven over the years: official part, banquet and dancing. What types of celebrations are there, what you need to pay attention to when preparing for the prom, what you shouldn’t forget, and where to find inspiration for new ideas, let’s try to find out in our article.
School format
If the school administration, in accordance with the order of the district leadership, insists on holding the prom entirely within the walls of the educational institution, then the formal part and a banquet with a disco are organized either in the classroom or in the assembly hall.
For the ceremonial part, namely presentation of certificates about the end of school, usually all graduates are invited (this can be several classes), their parents, subject teachers who taught the students, and the school administration and representatives of the district education department are also present on the stage. During the ceremony, each student is invited to the stage, where, to the applause of the audience, he receives a certificate of secondary education from the hands of the director, words of congratulations and gratitude, and parting words from class teachers and parents.
Conducting the official part of the event better rehearse and double-check everything, because a hitch can arise at any moment: the class teacher, out of excitement, cannot find a medal or certificate, the teacher who was supposed to speak has not yet arrived important words, graduates do not know who is giving flowers to whom, they turned on the music in the wrong place. Be prepared for the fact that if more than one class is graduating, the process of awarding certificates can be lengthy and quite tedious.
Important nuance : do not forget that for the official part of the graduation it is necessary take care of the bouquets flowers that graduates present to teachers, as well as decorate the hall , where the event will take place. A new trend in fashion shows, presentations and various parties is to take pictures against the background press wall , this is a structure made of chrome-plated pipes on which a large banner is attached. On the banner you can write the school number, city, year of graduation, they take pictures as a souvenir with teachers, parents, the whole class and in splendid isolation. The advantages of such a design are its mobility and presentability, the disadvantages are the production costs. Budget option: use the walls of the assembly hall as a press wall, on which to hang your own inscriptions and photographs.
After the official part it usually starts concert , the development of the script falls on the shoulders of the Deputy Director for educational work or a teacher-organizer, music teachers, class teachers of final classes and talented graduates who will perform on stage in front of classmates and parents are also involved in the work.
There is a talented person in the teaching staff or among the students leading ? This is already half the success, because he will be able to conduct the program in a fun and relaxed manner. Second, and no less an important part good evening– cool individual scenario , a successful creative “cabbage”: bright performances from schoolchildren, parents and teachers. funny jokes, dances and songs, creative performances - on this day graduates will be able to show all their talents, which, perhaps, no one had previously guessed about.
At the end of the concert, children and teachers are invited to banquet , which is traditionally organized by parents of graduates. The format of the treats, their quantity, as well as the amount to be spent on it are discussed in advance at parent meetings . Of course, it’s unrealistic to imagine that teenagers spend a holiday sitting at the table and eating cutlets with potatoes, so a light buffet-snack format in in this case will be the best solution.
Parents can buy food, cut and cover everything themselves, and if the budget allows, you can consider offers from off-site restaurants , in this case there will be much fewer problems for parents: they will offer you a menu, coordinate dishes and accessories. Depending on the amount that parents are willing to spend, the number of services provided by catering companies also varies: in addition to preparing and serving dishes, they can, for example, bring furniture for a party, build a pyramid of champagne glasses, or organize the smooth operation of a chocolate fountain.
Important nuance : Sweets are a must at the festive table at graduation. Pay attention not only to the appearance of the cakes, although this is also important, but also to their freshness, because summer period Products with creamy layers can quickly spoil. Small cupcakes with sweet layers are an excellent solution for such an event; schoolchildren will not have to struggle with pieces of cake on their plates, and the sweet fillings and icing on the cupcakes will not spoil indoors.
The most important graduation moment for boys and girls is of course disco . And here, too, there are options: the disco will be hosted by the school DJ or you can use the services of an invitee. As a rule, the more experienced the “musical genius” is, the fewer problems with equipment, sound and playlist will arise at the holiday. Be sure to tell the invited DJ the area of the room in which the disco is held and the number of invited people, and also clarify his technical capabilities not only regarding equipment, microphones and speakers, but also regarding lighting solutions. To take into account the musical wishes of graduates, you can conduct a survey in each class in advance and pass this information on to the DJ.
Usually the celebration lasts until the morning, after which fairly tired, but happy (we hope so) graduates gather meet the dawn . Parents also need to prepare this part of the graduation: agree on where exactly this event will take place, how to deliver the children to the place, which adults will be there with them, and also how to deliver the graduates home after a sunny morning.
Important nuance : clothes for a festive evening and a dawn morning should be different. If possible, prepare things that the child can change into, offer the child comfortable shoes and a warm jacket that you can throw over your shoulders on a chilly morning.
Away format
Does the school administration mind if graduates spend the holiday in a restaurant or cafe? In this case will be held at school official part with the presentation of certificates and a concert, and already for a banquet and disco, graduates, parents and teachers will go to the chosen institution.
The choice of a cafe or restaurant also falls on the shoulders of the parents, and deciding on the establishment necessary in advance to reserve the day. This is important because graduation ceremonies are held throughout the city on the same day, so a good, trusted cafe may be occupied by the graduating class of a nearby school.
Due to the fact that in cafes and restaurants payment is made depending on the number of people, then clarify the guest list , will be simply necessary. If all the students in the class go to the restaurant, which is also not always the case, you need to clarify which parents will be present in the restaurant, which teachers you invite, and also do not forget to include a representative of the school administration, a DJ and a photographer on the list.
Speaking of photographer - This important person at the graduation party, because the quality of your memories depends on his skill. In addition to the usual school albums, which are necessarily offered in the vast majority of educational institutions, if you wish, you can invite a photographer and videographer who will film your children's graduation party.
The camera in the hands of excited parents is also good and a budget option, but if finances allow and you want to get high-quality pictures, choose a professional. Choose proven people, look at their portfolio, collect reviews, use the advice of last year’s graduates. Remember that shooting in semi-darkness at a disco is rarely interesting, so it’s better to demonstrate outfits and hairstyles in first half of the holiday , which means calculate in advance the number of working hours of the photographer.
Check the technical equipment of the invited specialist, because working with various spotlights and reflectors significantly improves the quality of photographs, especially if there is insufficient lighting in the room. A videographer often works in tandem with a photographer and captures the best moments of the holiday, from which they can later make a short film.
You will spend almost the entire night in the chosen establishment, so be sure to check work schedule , and entertainment program , which can support and improve the mood of guests. It is important that the employees of a cafe or restaurant can organize an entertainment program according to the age of the guests, because if on graduation day you hear a restaurant singer whose repertoire includes “Blue Fog” or “Blue Frost”, this is unlikely to please 16-17 year olds .
It’s quite easy to please young music lovers – it’s necessary organize a good disco with various special effects. Just a disco ball and a laser may not be enough; now you can rent fog machines and generators soap bubbles, confetti cannons, cold tabletop and floor “fountains” - columns of silver sparks - look great.
You also need to take a break from dancing, and you don’t always want to spend this time at the table. Try to organize a connection with the future, for example, make a video recording during which each graduate will talk about how he sees himself in 10 or 20 years. Give the recording on a shared disk to the class teacher or one of the students in the class, and at the alumni meeting, when everyone has forgotten what they said that day “on air,” this disc will become an unforgettable highlight of the program. Another entertainment option - comic lottery with original and funny predictions about the future of each graduate. You can sign the pulled out lot to remember who got what and also leave it as a “highlight” for future alumni meetings.
Not like everyone else : It is absolutely not necessary to hold a prom in a traditional format. Celebrate on a boat with a night disco, spend beach party in an establishment by the water, organize a quest, a themed party in the style of gangsters or vampires - if children and parents agree with such an unusual format, and you also have a trusted person who will organize the holiday, your graduation will definitely be a bright and unforgettable event.
Festive look
Of course, each of us (this applies more to girls) not only remembers our prom dress, but also the torment of choice associated with it, as well as the difficulties during its creation. It's like a wedding rehearsal: for a girl to find your dream prom dress , in which she will look like a queen and proudly appear in front of her classmates for a vital task. Don’t forget about buying chic shoes (it would be nice if they were also comfortable and didn’t rub), as well as the following important component festive look like hairstyle and makeup. With the latter, we advise you to contact specialists who can choose the style and color scheme, taking into account individual characteristics graduates.
U boys preparing for prom it’s a little simpler - the main thing is to buy a decent suit in size and choose good shoes. White or colored shirt, tie or bow tie, and most importantly good mood and now your suddenly grown gentleman is ready.
It would seem that just recently you accompanied them to the first grade, carried a briefcase for the little students and did homework together... Time flies quickly, and the main thing is what it leaves behind - memories . What they will be like that evening, whether the graduate will not be disappointed when he sees what is happening, and whether he will be able to maintain a good mood for a long time, largely depends on the organization of the holiday, and therefore on parental care and attention. Graduation is a magical night in the life of each of us, this is the time when a young dreamer who has graduated from school is sure that all roads are open to him, and it is important to choose the right one from among them.
Graduation competitions 11th grade
Most high school students look forward to their 11th grade graduation with great anticipation. And this is understandable, because graduation party is a symbolic beginning of a new independent life. In addition, by the time of graduation, high school students have already experienced a lot of stress associated with passing exams, so they need carefree relaxation and fun like air. And to make the holiday truly original and fun, we suggest you have a themed prom party rather than an ordinary one. For example, in the style of a Hollywood party of the 20s.
Graduation 11th grade: ideas for a themed party
To organize a prom in the style of a Hollywood party of the 20s and 30s you will not need as much effort as it might seem at first glance. First, you need to notify guests and teachers that there will be a dress code at the prom. To do this, you need to prepare special invitations, in which you should indicate your wishes regarding appearance and outfit. You can note what to buy new outfit, completely consistent with the fashion of that era, is not at all necessary. It is enough to do the hair and makeup of those years, complementing the image with accessories: a headband with feathers, lace gloves, a bow tie.
Games for 11th grade graduates
The room for the festive evening will need to be decorated with balloons, golden streamers, a red carpet, and flowers. As a musical accompaniment, you need to choose cheerful jazz melodies. Well, in order to fully comply with the theme of the evening, instead of a classic waltz, graduates can choreograph cheerful dances to the fast music of those years.
Hollywood Prom 2015: rough script, poems and video
It is best to start the prom with the introduction of the students who will come out in pairs. Let them, like real stars, walk along the red carpet under the camera flashes and take their places in the hall.
Graduation games in 11th grade
To make the evening fun, organize competitions with small memorable gifts. Try to keep the competition program quite simple, but interesting. There is no need to arrange intellectual quizzes, let there be active, slightly childish fun instead. For example, who will burst the balloon faster or find a neighbor at the desk with her eyes closed. You can also stage a couple of funny skits with the participation of children and adults.
After the competitions, you can move on to a more serious part, where graduates will be able to say words of gratitude to teachers and parents. A waltz of graduates with parents or teachers would also be appropriate. This dance looks very touching.
For example, parents and teachers can be thanked with the following congratulation poems:
Couples are spinning
Farewell waltzes,
Sad tears
Ball gown...
We, parents, thank you,
We would like to congratulate the graduates!
Thank you for raising me,
A multifaceted world has been opened before us!
Be stylish, dear mothers,
Be strong, dear dads,
Respect from us, thank you very much,
And our love is a sacred feeling!
Now it's time to say goodbye,
The bell rings...
We will say: “School, goodbye,”
Everything has its hour, everything has its time.”
We are in no hurry to say goodbye
And a hundred times nicer now
We will become images and faces
Relatives of your teachers.
But the hour has come, we know it,
And at this special hour
We gratefully invite you
To the school ball, to the school waltz!
You can end the ceremonial part of the evening by launching lantern balloons with wishes, symbolizing farewell to the school. Well, after this sad note, cheerful dancing will again help to lift your spirits.
Graduation parties in kindergartens and schools have long become an indispensable ritual for children and their parents. A wonderful stage of transition from one age group in another, more adult, they are always celebrated brightly, effectively, significantly.
Unfortunately, these proms are held differently in different economic categories of the population of our country. First of all, of course, this is due to the budgets that parents and partly the educational institutions themselves invest in this holiday.
It is no secret that the market is divided into segments, and in the organization of proms it has its own distinctive features in different segments.
Sergey Knyazev, organizer of corporate and private events, comments:
Budgets in the “economy” segment, as a rule, amount to no more than 1,500 - 3,000 rubles per graduate. In the “business” segment, budgets range from 3,000 to 15,000 rubles for everyone who will celebrate their graduation. In the “premium” segment, graduates spend from 15,000 rubles to 50,000 and more.
It should be noted that the 2015 proms will, for the most part, be more modest than in the two previous years.
In the “economy” segment, budgets have fallen the most, which are now close to the lower limit of 1,500 rubles per graduate.
In the business segment, budgets are also being cut, but only in terms of inviting pop stars to prom programs.
There are almost no changes in the premium segment.
The location of the prom, as a rule, is a vivid illustration of the state of affairs in this category of national holidays. Many graduation balls in the “economy” segment are traditionally celebrated in the school assembly hall, where only the formal part takes place, and after that schoolchildren are provided with buses to travel around the city and continue the celebration with walks and photo sessions in parks, in places of national glory (at monuments), and sometimes on motor ships along the river.
In the “premium” segment, the tables are an example of haute cuisine, which is often prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.
In the “business” segment, after the formal part at school, graduates go to a photo shoot at monuments of glory or to viewpoints of the city, and then to restaurants or banquet ships (restaurant ships), where teachers and parents are waiting for them with a prepared program for a magnificent ball. Restaurants and banquet halls for proms in this segment are selected with an emphasis on the status and prestige of the place or brand of the establishment.
In the “premium” segment, the most expensive and most private venues are most often chosen for the prom. Often these are countryside boarding houses, yacht clubs or restored ancient estates with luxurious infrastructure.
Treats for proms characterizes this or that segment more than anything else. So, for example, in the “economy” segment it either comes down to snacks in small lunch boxes, which are given to graduates on the way from school to places of outdoor celebrations, or to a minimal buffet table after the formal part in schools.
Tables in the “business” segment are served in a completely different way, where the banquet includes all the traditional components - from cold appetizers to an elegant birthday cake.
In the “premium” segment, the tables are an example of haute cuisine, which is often prepared by a Michelin-starred chef. The cake here is always fantastically large and masterfully beautiful.
Alcoholic drinks at proms are universally for adults (teachers and parents) only. The exception is not a large number of champagne for high school graduates. Of course, sparkling wine brands are different in different segments.
At all graduation parties, they try to prepare an art program for the formal part and the informal part. However, in most schools in the country, this program is prepared by school amateur performances, using the numbers of talented schoolchildren and teachers. Only in the “business” and “premium” segments is the art program worthy of eclipsing the best television shows and concerts organized on significant days for the country. Despite the fact that this year they are refusing to perform at balls of pop stars, a huge number of professional artists are involved in bright thematic or classical show programs for graduates. For example, in several private colleges, graduates are prepared with Balls in the style of Natasha Rostova - with candelabra, butlers in historical costumes, a live symphony orchestra and other attributes of that romantic era. In several more private schools, the Ball will be held in a concept that reflects the educational focus of these schools: “Math Ball”, “Chemical Ball”, “Diplomatic Ball”. And in one elite kindergarten For little graduates there will be a “Magic Ball” based on the book about Harry Potter.
Egor Dobrogorsky, organizer of corporate events, comments:
Any event, be it corporate or private, can be held without the participation of celebrity guests. Stars can be invited to a brand presentation or opening ceremony, where the status of the event is raised with the help of media people.
As a rule, the prom is organized by the parents, and not everyone is ready to pay a tidy sum for a half-hour performance by a youth idol. Last year, the favorite at all graduations was the singer Nyusha, this year Konstantin Meladze’s project MBAND, the group IOWA.
First of all, the graduation party should demonstrate to parents and teachers what their children have learned over 11 years of education. The star guest can be an addition, but in no case should it be the main focus of the holiday. After all, graduation is not a concert. Instead of one star, you can invite several interesting and equally talented musical groups.
Children are a very sensitive audience, so when organizing a prom, it is imperative to maintain a balance of graduates’ interests: musical preferences, hobbies, clothing style, etc. Any correctly selected detail during preparation can significantly affect the outcome of the entire event.
Or you can arrange a graduation in the style of a talent competition, where each of the graduates will perform a creative number: some sing well, others waltz well. An entertaining show program can be filled interesting master classes, thematic competitions etc.
The event for graduates can be organized in the format of a social reception or a film award ceremony. Red carpet, photographers, competition for the most Nice dress among graduates, a competition for the best dance, choosing the king and queen of the school ball, etc.
The location of the prom depends on the concept of the event. If this is a social reception or a film award, loft venues, exhibition halls, and creative spaces are suitable.
A festive banquet depends both on the budget and on the concept of the event. For a graduation party, it is most appropriate to have a buffet with light snacks. And at the end of the evening, bring out a birthday cake.
At the end of spring, a large number of high school students and students are wondering how and where to celebrate graduation. After all, everyone wants this day to be unforgettable. Preparations for this celebration should begin two months before the start of the event. After all, you need to not only decide on the location of the holiday, but also come up with what the theme of the graduation will be. Each graduation consists of two parts: official and unofficial. During the official part, graduates are awarded certificates or diplomas, congratulations and wishes are heard in verse and gratitude to teachers for their efforts and patience. This celebration is also accompanied by various dance numbers. The official part ends with a group photo of the graduates and their teachers.
How to celebrate graduation
The unofficial part is attended only by graduates, or graduates with parents and teachers. Most often, the unofficial part of graduation is celebrated in cafes, restaurants, nightclubs or on a ship. You can celebrate graduation outside the city on the river with tents. In nature there is an opportunity to organize a large number of games, competitions and relay races. You can also take several kayaks and organize competitions by placing several two-meter gates, using plastic bottles tying a small weight to them. To win, you need to swim the fastest through all the gates. It will be very fun and interesting to meet the sunrise on the river. At night you can light a fire, jump over it, sing songs with a guitar, and set off fireworks. To make it more fun, you need to bring music with you. In the evening or morning you can grill kebabs and bake potatoes. You can also play volleyball and football during the day.
How to celebrate graduation
If you decide to celebrate your graduation in a cafe or restaurant, then you need to agree on the menu, find out the prices, collect money from everyone, decide on the toastmaster, and live music. With a professional toastmaster, there is no need to think through the scenario and worry that the celebration will be boring. The restaurant hall must be decorated in advance. To do this, you can use helium balloons, from which you can make an arch, or other interesting shapes. Chairs can be wrapped in beautiful fabric golden color, napkins can be in the form of diplomas.
How to celebrate graduation video
In addition to the toastmaster, if your budget allows, you can invite professional dancers, artists, magicians and clowns to make the holiday truly unforgettable. To capture all the events and emotions on long years, you should hire a videographer and photographer who can make an excellent film and photo album.
The theme of the prom also needs to be thought up in advance so that everyone can prepare the appropriate outfit. Graduation can be in retro or dudes style. The presenter should be chosen to be creative so that the young people present will find it interesting. It is important to take into account various little things in the script. You can come up with poems or skits that will reflect certain character traits of each graduate. Also, each graduate can prepare some kind of performance, showing their talent. The more jokes, games, competitions and quizzes there are at graduation, the more fun it will be for all participants and guests of this celebration.
Any room, be it a gym, a dining room, an assembly hall, or a school hall, can be decorated beyond recognition. Multi-colored ribbons, balls, a red carpet, a retro car or bike can completely transform the interior, creating a certain festive atmosphere. In addition to fireworks, you can launch sky lanterns into the sky. When 30 or more lights rise into the sky at the same time, it will be a beautiful and unforgettable sight.
If you want to celebrate the unofficial part of graduation, and at the same time save a significant amount of money, then the best way to do it is at school. Here you can get the necessary equipment for music for free. In addition, the school is usually located near the graduates’ place of residence. The money saved on rent and transport can be spent on a good presenter or professional artists. Or the role of toastmaster can be entrusted to one of the parents. To please the teachers, you can give them a small gift.
The only drawback of the restaurant in relation to the school is the cost of rent. But you don't have to worry about festive table, music, and other holiday attributes.
If parents and graduates agree to fork out money to celebrate graduation in some original way, then you can rent a boat. As a rule, it has its own restaurant and music. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the festive table either. If you want to celebrate graduation on a boat, then you need to agree on this with all parents at the beginning of the year so that everyone can collect the required amount of money.
The most expensive, but most memorable will be the graduation celebration in the form of a Eurotour, traveling through several countries at once. If graduates visit Paris, Rome and Venice, they will remember this trip and graduation for the rest of their lives.
Whatever restaurant you choose to celebrate your graduation, you need to book it in advance. Therefore, you need to clearly determine the number of guests. If you decide to celebrate without a toastmaster, then you need to write a script for the event. To save your overall budget, parent meeting you need to ask around what parents of graduates can do. Thus, among the parents there may be a videographer, toastmaster or musician.
If your class was distinguished by its love of extreme sports, then you can start celebrating the unofficial part of graduation with skydiving. When celebrating graduation, don’t limit yourself to just one day. After all, it took you many years and effort to study. Therefore, you deserve to celebrate your graduation to the fullest. If you wish, you can celebrate graduation on the seashore to wash away all school failures and stress, since a new one awaits you, and even more interesting life. Celebrate as if it were your last holiday.
designer, founder of the LO and JN brands
Graduation evening is the front door to a huge, beautiful, unfamiliar, but so attractive adult world. At graduation, no one ever thinks about the fact that sometimes the front doors are closed and every day you have to use either the back door or the passage rooms, which gradually turn from temporary into permanent.
And yet our life gives us a chance an infinite number of times, opens up incredible opportunities to realize our dreams. Graduation evening is that wonderful holiday / trait / rubicon when you are still a child for your parents, but no longer seem to be a schoolboy. And every girl wants to be the queen of the ball this evening.
Princess Bride
When choosing your dream, the most important thing is to understand the purpose and meaning of this often expensive purchase. If the task is to wipe the noses of all the girlfriends and kill them on the spot, it will most likely be similar to a wedding dress: fluffy, floor-length, with a crinoline - at least hang a price tag on it! The parents spent a lot of money, and we need to tell everyone about it.
Well, you have every right. But we must remember that slender young girls look heavy and awkward in such dresses. Graduates walk around the city until the morning, and managing an uncomfortable crinoline is not so easy. It is much easier for a bride at a wedding - she is driven around the city by car (and some brides are even luckier - they are carried across 7 bridges in the arms of their newly-made spouse). That's why I'm against wedding dresses at graduation. You still have everything ahead of you, no need to rush life. It goes by too quickly anyway.
Planted mother
Another option that is not very successful, in my opinion, is in the “mother’s” style. evening dress. Perhaps the most popular group of prom outfits is also the most dubious in terms of appropriateness. The mistake is this: many girls want to be like their beautiful mother on this day when she is going to the theater or to some special event! As a rule, “mom’s” cocktail dresses are dark colors, often from knitted fabric with sparkles, sequins, with a deep neckline on the chest or a high slit on the skirt, reaching down to the very underwear.
Too revealing outfits that expose all parts of the body, as we see in the photos of Western stars, are unlikely to bring you additional points in the eyes of your classmates. Most likely, dubious jokes await you behind your back, and even on Instagram. A stage outfit or a mother's dress and a seventeen-year-old girl's prom dress are completely different dresses in meaning. Why do you need to look 10 years older? What's the hurry? You will definitely still be older, but this have a nice evening in a delicate girlish dress that will highlight your youth, you will definitely never have again.
So what should you wear to prom?
Romantic scenario
In my opinion, flowing silk romantic dresses in pastel colors with flounces, bows and ruffles emphasize the beauty of youth and the grace of a slender figure. You can do without decor, but then it is better to choose an impeccable silhouette. Now dresses with year-over skirts are back in fashion. A model made of flying silk (both artificial and natural) and a sun dress will look impressive. A girl in such a dress looks like an exotic butterfly against the backdrop of the bright and rich greenery of June.
Million Dollar Baby
Incredibly good for prom dress in baby doll style, gathered at the waist, fluffy, above the knee or to mid-calf - as you like. When else to wear them, if not at this wonderful age? Made from light jacquard or even fashionable neoprene, which perfectly holds the shape of such dresses. Be careful - neoprene is not the best choice in hot weather.
Difficult girl
If you don’t want to look “like everyone else” this evening and want to be original, your option is more brutal prom dresses; by the way, they are also more practical. Look great at prom beautiful lungs silk jumpsuits that can be worn all summer long. Pantsuits made from cupro or tencel fabric also look great. They flow, look great, look like boiled silk.
Let's clap cotton
If you live in one of the hot regions of Russia, why not wear a beautiful cotton summer dress, richly decorated with lace, to your prom? These dresses are quite affordable in price, practical, effective, and can be worn for more than one season. These are the fashionable, original dresses that are worn on proms future stylists, designers, architects.
