Last Minute President’s Ball Dress Ideas

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wake Forest chapter.

To my fellow Deacs,

If you’re anything like me and you either forgot to buy a dress for President’s Ball or fell out of love with the dress you ordered, this is the post for you. After consulting the Hanes Mall Directory, I’ve compiled a list of cute dresses that you can find here in Winston Salem without totally breaking the bank or worrying about overnight shipping. Prez Ball is one of those rare occasions where you never know if you want a short dress à la High School Homecoming or a long one Prom-style.  This list gives you options: long, short, petite, plus and everything in between. If you are scrambling, I hope you can use this list as a guide, and I can’t wait to see you there in whichever style you choose!

Stay Glam and Keep it Classy.
