Hi! a friend of mine is debuting this thanksgiving into society and they require full length, pure white and formal. She is very thin, a 4 or so, with a 32-26- 36. she's also about 5'8". With very long legs, compact hips and a rather small chest. She looks great in a lot of sort of hippie 70s styles, especially beaded sinly cut things that just show off her already pretty fabulous figure. Bias cut things look awesome too, the only other problem is that it will have to be able to withstand the entire night and she is not as acclimated with wearing vintage as I am. I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions. thanks so much!
 
There are actually quite a few small sizes right now on eBay under "formal white gown." She might want to post on the "want it now" section asking specifically for beads or bias cut or whatever is particularly important to her. Meanwhile - I'll try to remember her needs while on the hunt...;)
 
Are there any other restrictions on the dress? For instance, it isn't uncommon to also have a requirement for cap sleeves or sleeveless gowns if gloves are required. Some balls require strapless gowns, full skirts, or particular neckline styles. And if she is required to curtsy (especially a Texas Dip) and waltz, trust me, she will need a full skirt! :D

One of the traditional sources for deb gowns has been wedding gowns. The right vintage one would make a very unique and elegant statement.
