So I am graduating this year, and I need a dress for my party. It will be a sort of country chic theme, and I will be wearing my cowgirl boots. But I can't just go to a store and buy a dress, so I will be having one custom made.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what style or color I should go with? I am 5' 8 (172 cm) with and athletic build. I will be having the dress made to my knees, maybe slightly above, so I am looking for styles that would look good slightly longer. I really have no clue what I should do, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. And as for color I again have no clue what suits me. I am semi pale with blonde hair and green eyes if that helps any!!

I have tried browsing pinterest, but I just have no clue what styles and shapes would be flattering. And honestly the dress could be simple or fancy, I am not super picky!

I would go with a cream lacey dress since you said you're pale a white dress might wash you out.

If you're wearing cowgirl boots I would go with a dress that's above the knee rather than below the knee.

Thank you so much jah-jah! A cream dress sounds great! And personally I am not comfortable in a dress that's above the knee, so I would have the dress made to my knees, but not longer. I see the problem with boots and a longer dress

And of course cream lace is always classy looking.

Since you're getting it custom made you can always get it longer than in the picture.

I think this would look super cute in more of a cream color!

Check out Fillly Flair, Spool 72, Cavenders, or Country Outfitters. All of which are where you can order online.

I think a sea glass color would look great with a fit-and-flare cut :) adds curves and extremely flattering
