The momentous occasion of senior prom
is already a tense affair without the added worry that someone else
might be wearing your special dress on the big night.
Savvy, New York school girls have come up with a cunning way to prevent the fashion faux pas of turning up in the same dress - by posting pictures on social media of their prom dresses the second that they find 'the one'.
Many girls refuse to linger when it comes to the competitive prom dress market, and post pictures of their chosen frock directly from the store changing room.
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr are being filled up with 'selfies' of teens in flouncy satin, silk and bejeweled fabrics.
The accompanying remarks to the earmarked dresses may give some parents cause for alarm.
Photos of dresses have been posted with tags such as 'Don't steal my dress or I might have to have your family murdered' along with 'B**** Don’t Steal My Dress' and 'Steal My Prom Dress and I’ll Knock You The **** Out', according to the New York Post.
However despite the threatening tone of some messages, most users are simply posting 'likes' and compliments about their friends' choices of evening wear.
High school senior proms are mostly held in April and May.
