Or who could send you some snaps to show mum?</p> <p>You might have better luck getting mum to pay for it if you pitch it as a dress for more than one event, something more appropriate to your future life as a fully-fledged adult. Something you'd need for attending weddings? Events at uni?&nbsp;</p> <p>But if you buy your own clothes, then shop on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-pre-dinner-wear#post-1554743 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 15:30:41 +0000 Glory 1554743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ABC has offered some great suggestions. I hope that you can find a solution. Would your mother be willing to call the school administration to get confirmation? That way she might be willing to move forward with your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-pre-dinner-wear#post-1554285 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:22:03 +0000 abc 1554285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a heart to heart with your mom and try to figure out why she thinks you need to wear the uniform. &nbsp;Express your concerns and everything you just mentioned. &nbsp;Open, honest communication is the only route to go. &nbsp;Try to be patient. &nbsp;Go into the conversation in a calm mood, don't jump to conclusions, don't immediately try to defend your position. &nbsp;Let her talk - then calmly explain where you're coming from and see how your mom reacts. &nbsp;I'm guessing this is just a case of bad communication and hopefully a good chat can clear things. &nbsp;Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graduation-pre-dinner-wear#post-1554282 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 20:12:18 +0000 Leighways 1554282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mother and I got into a very big argument over this.</p> <p>In my school, seniors are the only ones not required to wear uniform. And so, the dinner being a semi-formal, students-only event I thought it perfectly fine to just buy a new dress...My mother on the other hand believes I am supposed to wear my SCHOOL UNIFORM. Nobody else is wearing theirs!<br /> I don't know where she got this idea, and it's not like I even have a uniform - I gave it to my sister. </p> <p>What am I supposed to wear now? I can't convince her not hire a uniform, and there is no way I'm wearing my dress from my school ball but no other dress I have meets the dress code requirements. Either way I feel I'm just going to be humiliated at the end of it all. </p> <p>Is it better to go in uniform? Or should I use the money to buy a dress? I'd borrow one except no-one I know is my size besides my sister. </p>
