Help me find a graduation dress! (Please)
I am looking for my graduation dress, I graduate from college mid May. I did some drawings because I can’t find what I’m actually looking for, the first one would be ideal, second one is also pretty ideal, the waistline is just at a different spot. The last one is kind of a backup plan. I also included some of my inspiration pictures. The first inspiration picture I actually did find, but upon researching the website it would come from, they aren’t very reliable. Does anybody know where I can find a dress like this that also doesn’t cost an insane amount of money. Hoping to stay under $50 USD but could possibly go up to $70 USD if it’s really worth it.

Is there some secret social code for university graduation dresses?
I (21F) am graduating with my bachelors next month. I do not have a dress yet and I don’t know if there’s any secret social rules surrounding dresses, as I am autistic. I see so many posts on socmed of white dresses. The issue is I have an unpredictable uh. cycle. and wearing white is a terrible idea. I don’t know if I’m committing some weird girl taboo by wearing a non-white dress, or even no dress at all (maybe a jumpsuit). I also have a very eclectic style as I love unusual and unique fashion. I literally wore a dress made out of outline faces to lavender celebration recently. So wearing white is kind of a nightmare for me unless it’s got some insane detailing. If not wearing white is okay, what IS and isn’t ok to wear? Is there a certain length or style to avoid? TLDR: Can I wear a non-white dress to graduation, also what can I and what can I not wear to graduation? Also, I am autistic so I have no clue. Yes I tried R/ fashion but they have a stupid karma limit and I am inept at Reddit. UPDATE: Hi everyone! I chose a dress from Tommy Hilfiger, and it did turn out to be white HOWEVER it has a pattern! It’s got sailboats on it :) Linked here: Link submitted by /u/sculptingsongbirds to r/NoStupidQuestions [link] [comments]

AITAH For buying my stepdaughter, a traditional Navajo dress for graduation?
My stepdaughter (17), I’ll call her L, is graduating high school with honors. She’s half Navajo from her mom and half Guatemalan from my husband. She had her heart set on wearing a traditional Navajo dress for graduation. Originally, she had arranged to borrow one from her aunt on her mom’s side. One night at dinner, I asked if she had picked up the dress yet, and she looked really defeated and said she couldn’t anymore because of family drama. I asked if we could just buy her one instead. She told me they’re expensive, around $500–600. I had already planned to get her a Tiffany’s necklace for graduation, so I told her we could skip that and use the money for the dress instead. She said she would much rather have the dress. The next day, she found one she loved online. It was about a 3-hour drive away, so I suggested we make a day of it so she could try it on and look at other options too. She was really excited. I told her to pick a day where she got out of school early, I wasn’t working, and her mom could come too. I made it clear I wanted her involved. Fast forward to the day of the trip, I asked if her mom was coming and L said no. I still had my husband go pick her up. When he got there, her mom was upset and said buying the dress is something she should be doing, and that I had no right to take that moment. My husband told her that if she wanted to buy the dress, she could. That turned into a screaming match between them. L called me crying. I calmed her down and told her we’d figure it out later. She ended up upset with both of them for arguing in front of her. Th next day, I had L call her mom so I could talk to her directly. I put it on speaker so L could hear everything. I explained that I absolutely wanted her involved, and the only reason I offered to pay was because I knew the cost might be difficult for her right now. She got defensive at first, but when I said she could buy it instead if she wanted, she kind of backtracked. We eventually came to an agreement. We would all go together, she could buy the moccasins and jewelry, and I would buy the dress. We went, everything stayed calm, and L got her dress. Her mom still thinks I overstepped and inserted myself into something that should have been her moment. But honestly, I just wanted L to have what she wanted for graduation and feel special.

Please help me find a grad dress!
Hi all, To preface, I am not someone who enjoys shopping. I'm picky and I want to find something I love immediately. However, the clock is ticking and I haven't been able to find something I love for graduation (I have some soft contenders, but nothing that lights me up). The criteria: Around $200, needs to be white (not ivory or cream), no bodycon dresses, midi dress only, and no low cut necklines. I'm going for something clean and elegant, but with some pizzazz. So far Anthropologie and Cult Gaia have been the most promising (although Cult Gaia is out of budget) in terms of what I'm looking for but these are the other websites I have already looked at: revolve, asos, for love and lemons, & other stories, princess polly, meshki, lulus, oh polly, Macy's, Nordstrom rack, Aritzia, Zara, banana republic, loft, house of CB, rihoas, cider, J crew, pinupgirlclothing, nastygal, mango, modcloth, dorothy perkins, zappos. I am so tired of scrolling endlessly and not finding THE dress so if you have specific dresses in mind or more website suggestions, please let me know! I'm getting worried I'll have to show up to graduation in jeans lol.

AITAH for ignoring the suit my mother bought for me after she threw away the dress I bought for my graduation?
English it's not my first language, so, sorry if I have mistakes. I, 23 F, I'm about to graduate from college. The party will be in 2 months, but the photographic session will be next week. One of my goals since I entered my career was that when I graduated, I would use a dress that would suit me, some might think that, I could just rent a dress that, I'll probably just use it once or two in my life, but, I really mean it when I said, that this was the moment I'll been waiting for years. So, the last few weeks I had been looking for dresses in different boutiques. I went with several people in different times, one of them with my mother. And, that time, I found a dress that not only suited me like a glove. It was a light green, long dress. And Immediately loved it. The problem my mother yad? It had a low neckline. You see, my mother is a Modest woman. Someone who may be scandalized when a dress is above the knees, or the neckline show even a little of the cleavage. So, despite she admitted that, that dress fit me, I shouldn't buy it, as I might attract unwanted looks, specially as I have a big cup. I already had therapy about it, so, some insecurities that affected her no longer affect me, still, I wanted to get in a middle point. I liked that one dress, and, despite I was the one buying it, I wanted to make her comfortable. I proposed use a shawl. I felt fine with it, and, it might be useful if when I use it it's cold outside. And my mother agreed with that. With the green light on, I bought the dress and a few days later a shawl that would suit the dress. Everything was fine so far until two days ago, when , I returned to home after returning from school from continuing my thesis (already working on that) to get something to eat, bath and change to going to work, when I noticed my dress wasn't in the wardrobe. I put it there, Hanging, to avoid My cat's hair on it. It was there in the morning, so I was confused. I asked my siblings, and they didn't knew something about it. My father wasn't in the city, so I directly asked my mom, who was on the kitchen seeing TV while cutting potatoes. Something like "mom, do you know where my dress is?". "Ah, I threw it." "Excuse me? What do you mean by you 'threw it's?" "Today passed the Garbage truck, so I threw it." "...why?! I did you throw it?!" I swear I felt like crying at that moment. She said something like "I wasn't convinced at all with that dress. That shawl didn cover you at all. And, your dad agreed with me. So, yesterday I bought you a suit for your photos and party." Really, I wasn't hearing at all at that moment. I couldn't believe what was she saying. I just run outside, foolishly hoping that, magically a black garbage bag it would be outside (I didn't pay attention to that when I came from school). But no. The garbage truck must have passed early. I thought that maybe my mother was joking. Why? Why did my parents did that? I thought they agreed with me. What about the money I spent on that? I didn't ask none from them. I bought it with the money I want working part-time in a bubble tea shop. I ran to her room, and saw her wardrobe. Neither was there. As I was crying, she entered to her room with a gray suit in her arms. It was exactly the kind of clothes my mother would choose for me. Usually, I liked suits too, I used them when I'm going for a conference on my college. But, at that moment, I honestly couldn't believe the audacity of my parents. Specially my mother. When my father returned yesterday, he gave me a bunch of bills (around 300 dollars). Saying that, it was for the dress my mother throw. On that way my money would not be wasted. That money felt dirty. I didn't wanted it. Probably my father still felt guilty about agreeing with my mother, so he gave me that and make himself feeling better. Of course, he didn't accept a No as an answer. One one hand, I understand where my mother is coming from. She bought that suit with her money, as she hasn't stop telling me that from yesterday. She said that I would look better in the suit (I haven't prove it yet). That, my green dress would had made me uncomfortable with the looks I would gain from guest or males. And, as my father already gave me money, I actually didn't loose anything. Half of me of starting to doubt, thinking resignedly that maybe she's right, and I'm just acting overdramatic. The other part of me wants to throw everything away, ignore that suit and go and look for a second option the last week I have before the photographic session. AITAH if I do it? I don't know if resigne and go at least to the photo session on suit or, ignore her, risking me to the same happening again. I don't know if I would use those 300 dollars, as I said, they felt dirty to me. But, I don't know where to get more money to do Last minute shopping. submitted by /u/Kooky_Blueberry4770 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Which dress should I wear for my graduation?
I’m really not sure which one to go with. I feel like I prefer the green a bit more but white will perhaps look better with the black graduation gown??? Also, gold or silver accessories? White, black or silver heels? Literally any advice would be appreciated because my graduation is today!!! and i’ve left everything to the last minute lol submitted by /u/here5ever to r/fashion [link] [comments]

Help! Where can I find a white graduation dress for my daughter?
Looking for advice for my daughter. She is looking for a short, white dress for high school graduation. She wears 2X, 3X or around a size 18 typically. She wants a dress like the other girls will be wearing. Nothing frumpy or loose. First two pics are inspo pics from fast fashion websites that aren’t reputable. The last pic is a collage of pics of my daughter for reference for her style. She really wants this to be a nice dress, not cheap or fast fashion. Something well made. Thank you all so much! We’ve been looking but can’t find anything. Thanks in advance. ​ submitted by /u/TrueTexasCrime to r/PlusSizeFashion [link] [comments]

I told my sister if she graduated with honors I would wear a matching dress to her graduation. She said the thought of seeing me in a dress was her motivation when she wanted to quit. Worth it to me.

College grads--what are you wearing to graduation? I need advice on a dress!
I'm graduating in May and have to attend 3 commencement ceremonies. I want to wear something that represents my school colors, but that I can wear again, specifically at weddings in the future. My school colors are red/gold/white/black (bonus points if you can guess the school!) so white and black are kind of out. I'm thinking red but not something too standout (wedding appropriate). I'm 5'11" with wide hips so a lot of shorter dresses don't work on me. So, if anyone has recommendations for a red midi (or at least not super short) dress that is comfortable, timeless, appropriate for graduation/weddings, and good for pictures, please send them forth! Something with an open back would be great but it doesn't have to be. I definitely need to stay under $200, preferably under $100. So far I've looked at Anthropologie, ASOS, Nordstrom, and a couple other places, but nothing has really caught my eye. Also, shoe recommendations would be great! I want to wear heels that are comfortable and not too high--maybe wedges. I also want to see what everyone else is wearing to graduation if you've decided yet! Or what you wore in the past to your own or someone else's graduation. I personally can't believe it's already that time so this thread is my way of telling myself it's reality. Edit: Also, POCKETS. Pockets would be great. submitted by /u/hottiemchoechlin to r/femalefashionadvice [link] [comments]
