gowns, gowns, gowns

There's this new place in the city that rents out gowns for all formal occasions. The gowns are so elegant that you can't help stepping into one of them, which I did as part of our segment on gowns to be aired on Sunday at 8 in the evening, channel 6, Filproducts cable. If you are attending a prom, debut, or maybe preparing to be wed, renting a gown is worth considering. Having a gown made can give you headaches. First, you need to worry about the color and type of cloth. Then you need to worry about the style or cut, then the dressmaker. With a finished or readymade gown, you don't worry about any of those details. You get to choose from an array of gowns---color, style, type of fabric, it's all there for you for the choosing.

And yes, the rent is not really that expensive coz we are talking about a gown that you will most likely only wear once. What is the point of spending a fortune on it?

themed JS Prom

It would be a most memorable JS prom if you opt to have a theme so students don't come in wearing just about any attire. The participants should meet and vote for a theme which they would like to adopt. Here are some suggested themes you can use:

1. Cinderella theme

2. Hawaiian theme

3. Disney theme

4. color theme (blue for seniors, pink for juniors or yellow for seniors, green for juniors)

5. Romeo & Juliet theme (I love this)

6. 1950's theme

7. rainbow theme

8. love theme (all will come in red gowns & suits)

9. belly dancers

10. Filipiniana (in Filipino costumes/terno, barong, etc.)

February is JS Prom month in the Philippines

February could be the best  choice to have the annual Junior and Seniors' prom since February is said to be love month.  

It is going to be a busy month for all juniors and seniors.  Planning ahead about what gown to wear would take off a lot of the worries that go with the occasion.  Start doing research as to the best color to wear. Remember that the color for this year is mellow yellow but still you have to see to it that you don't wear the same one as the other girls.  It pays to be unique.
