How poofy is too poofy for a prom dress?

[Anonymous]

I've always heard that guys hate "poofy" prom dresses. I got my dress about a week ago. On the hanger it looks extremely poofy ha ha but when it's on it's not thaaat bad. It probably has the same amount of "poof" as this dress: link

(This is not my dress by the way!)

It's not cake topper poofy ha ha but is even that "too much poof" for a guy? I mean I'm keeping the dress no matter what. I love it. But I'm curious if that'll be too hard to dance in, guys hate it, etc

Thanks!

Eh. That's what we call "girl pretty" and not "boy pretty."

Some boys might think it's cute in a passing thought, but nobody will be lining up to take you to a hotel after the dance. (haha)

But it's high school prom, and at least for me, that was a fun and innocent time. :) So wear what you think makes you look beautiful and don't worry about it. You'll have more than enough opportunities to worry yourself crazy about please men in your twenties.

Don't worry about what guys think about it! Its a beautiful amount of poof and I had one that had a similar poof and not one guy minded. Rather, I received quite a few compliments on it and ended up in the year book with a caption about my dress. Poof can be really elegant and is very possible to dance in. Just be yourself and I'm certain there are guys who will like it and some who will not.

Obviously, every guy is different but I love it. I like the big poofy dresses on girls, and in my opinion I do not even consider yours to be that poofy at all. I see no problem with the dress at all.

Wow, that dress looks spectacular and really beautiful. You should wear it. It's definitely an eye-catcher, and I won't be surprised if you get many compliments.

No such thing as too poofy. It would really be in your discretion about what you want. If you plan on dancing you have to think about if you'll trip or not. As long as your dress is long since prom is for long dresses, NOT short ones
