Hi! I'm trans and I've been feeling a little down recently about experiences I'll never be able to have, like attending prom as a girl. Any chance you all could help fulfill my dream by dressing me up in all sorts of cool, fancy dresses/outfits? Thank you so much :)

    Btw I was singing 'prom night everything's alright' the whole time I was drawing this so I feel like you'd need to listen to the song while looking at the drawing to get the full experience lol

    Hey OP I can't draw like at all but you might want to google Queer Prom; a lot of pride groups hold them and it's supposed to be an opportunity to get dressed up, wear a tux/corsage, etc for people who didn't get an enjoyable/safe & out prom in high school

    Not in my area unfortunately. I'm involved in my local queer community though, so I'll maybe see about bringing it up to a few people and get something organized for the LGBT folks in my city :)

    Of course. I'll do 3. Tell me:

    1. What style of dress did you wear to your prom where you, a typical American girl, went?

    https://preview.redd.it/yf1d9rfn8g8g1.png?width=6144&format=png&auto=webp&s=e666cfbb98e23a7203e9a39b905cb5b046a0dc67

    (updated w/ prom portrait. I was working on this before you answered but I'll put that, and the other pics, in replies)

    2) What were you wearing as a gawkward tween struggling with her locker in between band class?

    3) What phase did you go through when you were like 5 to 7? Did you have like a princess phase?

    parent
    5 points speedythefirst

    Thank you 🥲

    1. Something elegant, with thin straps. Not overly extravagant or gaudy. A slit to show a little leg. It would be a nice shade of blue, with some silver earrings and a thin necklace.

    2. Nothing special. A Beatles shirt and blue jeans. Braces of course, and a multicolor beaded bracelet.

    3. Of course. Belle was my favorite princess. And a cat lover phase that I never grew out of.

    I’m cis and my prom experience was spent feeling insecure and awful about my outfit, hair (botched). i took no photos 😢 all the movies made me think it was gonna be a night to remember…. oh well. a much more memorable experience was my first solo concert feeling free in my body and limitless :D i recommend!!!

    noooo!!! prom is way too overhyped 😭 high schoolers have no idea what they’re doing

    right? I had to go with my ex because I didn't want to have the conversation with my mom and big brother that he'd cheated on me because I didn't want to have sex yet. I broke up with him, but did still love him and didn't want my brother beating him up.

    In retrospect, maybe I should have let him haha.

    I can't draw, but I do have a small suggestion.

    My friends & I (F, 50s) were talking about how we never have a reason to wear fancy dresses anymore, & now we're planning a Wear a Beautiful Dress girls day out. We'll get ourselves fancy dresses, meet for coffee, & spend all day hanging out & window shopping & going to a fancy dinner in our finery.

    We figure, why not? If you can find a couple of willing friends, you could have a lovely day out. 💕🌈🌹 I know it's not as great as a real prom, of course, but I bet you'd look great in your dress!

    That's kind of you to say. As far as I know, there hasn't been one in my local area. I think I'll bring it up to a few organizers in my community to see if I could help arrange one next year.

    While I’m not trans and clearly won’t go through what you have, I am homeschooled and can relate to the prom thing. We’ll have amazing experiences in the future. 🤍

    I was also homeschooled! Thankfully I ended up going to a public school starting my sophomore year. It's crazy how much it can hinder you socially - those first six months in a public school were brutal lol
