Self-proclaimed fashionista devastated as friend hires same dress as her for law ball.
Merely seconds after (frantically) securing law ball tickets, the drama began to unravel.
Horrors of year 12 formal season have come back to haunt those lucky enough to be going to the event of the year. Every Facebook group chat instantly going off with possible dress options, screenshots of influencer makeup inspo, and the standard “Who’s hosting pre’s this year?”
With under a month until law ball the pressure is on for attendees to nab the hottest dresses before they’re forced to squeeze back into their old Studio Minc formal dresses. (Shudder)
Despite the sacrilege that is wearing the same dress as someone else, a reminder to all readers that Fellow Surviving Law Students is not the place to post your dresses. FSLS is not your year 12 Facebook group. No one cares. However, the QUTLS will not be held liable, and refunds will not be issued, should someone show up in the same Bec and Bridge slip dress as you.
In this time of panic, however, one thing’s for sure. Every guy will sleep soundly knowing their one suit is still sitting in their wardrobe, wrinkled from the last 21st it was worn to.
For all those wondering, a FAQ is on its way detailing how many mimosas must be consumed to ensure the best bang for your buck.*
* for legal purposes, the QUTLS promotes the legal consumption of alcohol.
