My daughter's prom dress is a hot pink, its very conservative [very pretty & flattering], halter neckline, flowing skirt yada yada yada.

Shoes.  I'm thinking white, open toed but here's the kicker height.  She is already about 3 inches taller than her date so medium heel.  I can't find anything that doesn't look like a salt water sandle.

Under $50 if at all possible.  Patty

Nix the white idea.  It's not going to look good with a hot pink dress.  I'd go with either black or (believe it or not) silver.  Leaning towards black, though.

Really?  Okay I'll run it by Whitney.

*ETA* Here's the dress.  There are a lot more styles in black but Whitney prefers the white or silver.

That's a really pretty dress!  Since it has that white band below the bust, it brings in the white shoes.  After seeing the pic, I'd have to say no to the black shoes now.  White or silver would do.

Silver was my first thought too, something like the pic shows.

That's a great dress, BTW...

Would this be too casual?



Its about as pretty as I can find in a med. heel.

That looks more like something you'd wear with a summer dress.  They're a bit casual IMO.

that's what I thought too.  I just don't want her being 6 inches taller than her date.  Not only will it be uncomfortable for him - I really don't want him dancing with her boobs right in his face!

These are inexpensive but I don't want her to look cheap either.

I kind of like the last one, though some of the other girls who didn't flunk Girl 101 might have a different opinion.  But then I'm also just under six feet tall and like to look for things that don't have real high heels too, or else I'm taller than my guy.

I think either would be fine, but I like the first one the best.

Patty I like the last pic you posted for a shoe, but then I flunked girl 101.

The last one is the best.
Strappy rhinestones are the rage right now and it is very dressy.

Whitney wants the strappy rhinestones so I do believe unless something else comes along better that it will be it.  The top ones are more practical but when has prom ever been practical?
