Haleigh Sasin, ‘26, was asked what her plans are for before prom, and she said, “I honestly have no plan yet, but I think my mom’s off that day. So I’m going to get ready at home, and then I think we’re all going to go out to dinner, take pictures, and walk from downtown to the dance.”
Sasin was asked what her prom outfit would be, and she said, “I have a baby pink long dress and it’s open back, halter top.”
Jasmin Tapia, ‘26, was asked what she is doing before prom, and she said, “I’m going to get ready with all my friends. We are going to my friend Ash’s house, and we’re just going to go to eat actually before. Then we are going to get ready together and go together.”
“My dress is actually silver, it’s a halter top,” said Tapia, when asked what her outfit is going to be for prom.
Halter tops are popular in many prom dresses. They typically have a strap that goes behind the neck, rather than on either side. Additionally, halter tops are sleeveless.
