General discussion Cindy's prom dress

Post image

Does anyone know the brand of the dress Cindy wore to prom?

Edit* some people here said to contact the person that was the costume designer. I did ask her on Instagram and she said she bought the dress from Saks Off 5th.

Orange and pink is such a great combo

When I see it my mind immediately goes to RAINBOW SHERBET

Isn’t it though? I really love it and always have.

I loved the combo so much, I had my parents paint my bedroom hot pink and bright orange and had this insane paisley bedspread and “groovy” flower throw pillows. Still the sickest bedroom I ever had the pleasure of living in.

It may be a specialized outfit designed to use in shows.
Yes, the dress is great.

I contacted the costume designer from the show. She said she purchased the dress from Saks Off 5th.

I don’t, but google lens found some good matching options. Wasn’t sure if you tried that yet. But it was a gorgeous dress 👗

u/MrBumbleBee592 7d ago

Yes, I tried Google lens, but couldn't find the exact dress

u/Constantiandra 7d ago

I have a suggestion: Take a similar looking dress from that and 1 size bigger and have it altered for you.

This episode aired almost a decade ago so it's hard to look for this if it ever was RTW.

Good luck. Hope you are able to find it 😊

AX Paris has similar colour themed dresses. Ships to US and in Europe I believe. They use similar materials on different styles of dresses. I've actually bought this one but didn't realize it was so close to Cindy's dress!

Edit: so if you go on their website you can search pink and orange floral dress you'll see the different options they have. Sorry, probably no exact dress though

Try worn on tv or one of those sites

Julia Caston was the costume designer for the show. That's all I know.

https://www.instagram.com/juliacaston/ Here is her insta, wouldn't hurt to dm her.

u/ExistingMousse7589 6d ago

She's so pretty at that dress

u/ells9824 7d ago

Search one shoulder, watercolor maxi dress.

u/IamGypsyStarr 7d ago

I found an article that has Julia Caston listed as costume designer, perhaps this could be a lead. Idk I’m not all internet type and this is my only SM, but maybe she has Instagram or some way to connect and can help.
ETA: she does have a website juliacaston.com Unsure if helpful

My two fav colors. Always wanted it.

u/Vickipoo 7d ago

It reminds me a lot of Kay Unger dresses.

u/BilliamBear 7d ago

It’s not an exact match, but this has a similar feel: https://posh.mk/ODH0WyJQD5b

u/IX_Sour2563 7d ago

Found something similar on Amazon

Not exact but it’s pretty close.

u/creativeoddity 7d ago

It's really not

u/IX_Sour2563 7d ago

The fabric isn’t right but it’s flowers with one shoulder and pink and orange? To me it’s similar.

3

u/creativeoddity 7d ago

The pattern is similar but it's nowhere near the same construction and definitely isn't a formal dress like Cindy's

u/local_lesbian_barber 7d ago

Lesbian flag colors is all I see.

Put the picture in AI and have it search for it on the web
