desperately seeking prom dress

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

well, not desperately.... i'm looking for a secondhand/vintage prom dress, ideally a satiny pastel one with a floofy skirt. i'm going to a fan convention in october and we're having a prom, theme "zombie apocalypse". i don't want to be a zombie, i just want to wear a prom dress. :D the one i wore to my own prom no longer fits and in fact it probably went to goodwill years ago, and because this is going to be a one-off event, i don't want to spend tons of money on a new prom-ish dress.

i've been to poor little rich girl and oona's (i need to go back to oona's when it's not super crowded), and i want to try the garment district, but i'm not sure where else to look. would the davis square goodwill be worth a try? what other secondhand/vintage clothes stores might be good for old prom dresses?

I have a prom dress that you can borrow for as long as you'd need - it's satiny black with a boned bodice embroidered with gold and has a biiiiig fluffy skirt with lots of tulle. I'd have to check the size, but let me know if you'd like it!

Boomerang's in JP would be a good place to check for these, too!

i don't know if i'll need it, but thank you! (i'm a size fourteen, if that makes a difference.)

i didn't even think of boomerang's. good idea.
