- We didn't have any dances because the kids were so nasty.
- Were you one of the nasty kids?
- Heck no, I'm a child of the Lord.
- That's a lie.
- Lies. - Don't lie on camera.
(laughing)
- Today we'll be trying Poshmark prom dresses.
Did you guys go to prom?
- I did not.
I only went to one school dance when I was in high school.
- I did go to prom, but prom was like
one of many formals at my school.
It was a lot.
It was expensive.
So by the time we got to prom my mom was like, nah.
(laughing)
- Mine's actually the complete opposite.
We didn't have any dances, because the kids were so nasty.
No, I'm serious, we were such little nasty rabbits.
We didn't have the Sadie Hawkins dance,
we didn't have Winter Formal.
It was just prom, so prom was a big thing for our school.
- So today I'm looking for a prom dress
for my hypothetical prom on Poshmark.
- I wish that I had had the internet
when I was going to prom,
because it would've been a lot easier.
- I don't think I've ever shopped on Poshmark before,
but just looking around, they have a lot of stuff on here.
- [Nina] Scrolling, scrolling.
- This is actually going way quicker
than I thought it would.
- This one's cute, so our budget is like $100.
- What kind of prom queen do I wanna be?
Oh, that's cute.
- When I was in high school,
I really wanted like a vintage one for some reason.
So I'm gonna try searching like, vintage.
- Oh, this is cute.
Oohh this black and gold formal dress, I love her.
I love she.
- Oh, what colors do I like?
Okay, so on my skin, really rich,
vibrant tropical colors look good on me.
Oh, that's really cute.
(playful jazz music)
A Red Backless Chiffon Maxi Dress.
Oh, I love that.
- When people are reselling clothes,
which is what this site is supposed to be,
I want to see it on real people and not the models.
If it's just on the models, I might as well
just be buying it from any online store.
- Buying the dress was definitely an experience.
There're so many to choose from.
- [Nina] Yeah.
- And then I had to remember this was for prom.
'Cause then I'm like, I can wear this out to dinner
and then this and that.
- So I had to get in the mindset of
what would 17 year old Lea want.
So it was fine, it was actually kinda fun,
shopping around for it.
What about you guys?
- 'Cause I was trying to think of what
high school me would have wanted,
because even though I didn't go to prom,
I still looked at prom dresses online.
So, I really wanted a vintage-y dress,
if I had gone to prom and
maybe had thought about it little bit.
- I picked the prom dress that I would wear now,
and that's something that really shows and showcases
the inner beauty that I have in myself.
Because you know when you're a teenager,
you wanna blend in, you wanna be like everyone else.
But, I feel like for me now, I really just want
y'all to see the body, the grace,
the booty, the titties that God gave me.
- I love that, now I'm even more excited.
- Yeah!
- My expectations are pretty high for this prom dress,
because if it doesn't work out,
it's not like you have to wear it to prom,
you can wear it to dinner, you can be in your house,
just hang out in it,
or repurpose it, cut it, turn it into something else,
or if the fabric is nice, you could like,
I don't know, turn into a placemat.
(record statching)
- Yeah, that's the thing that's nice about
buying it when you're a little bit older.
You have the foresight to know that
if it's not perfect, you could change it up.
Joyce, take me to prom.
- I would love to.
- Wow.
- So sparkly.
(ka-ching)
- [Joyce] Thank you, I love this look.
- [Nina] Can I touch it? - Please.
I like it, I'm so happy it came out very well,
very stretchy, very comfortable.
- That's what seems really nice about it,
it seems like you could dance in it a lot.
- [Joyce] Yeah.
- [Nina] Which you wanna do at prom.
Little twirl, show us what the nasty kids do.
(laughing)
- ♪ Buh duh ba ba ba ba ♪
- Eyy! - That's what they did
and a lot of other stuff, a lot of kids were born.
- [Lea] I like the empire top, it's really pretty.
- Yeah, I like this top too, I like empire top.
I think my only critique is that there's a little knot here.
I'm gonna cut that and then just put more cleve.
Highlight what I got, you know.
- I also like that it doesn't feel necessarily
like a prom dress.
You could wear this somewhere else.
- That is true, that is true.
I feel like I could wear this to multiple events.
And it's something that is cute,
isn't too much, more my vibe, more comfortable,
more like, "Oh that's a look, she has fashion sense."
But not like overdoing it.
- Yeah.
- [Joyce] Comfort and looks.
- [Lea] Bingo, boom.
- It's beautiful.
- Ta-da!
- Yes!
- Alright, so who's goin' to prom next?
Nina?
- I'll go to prom.
- Alright.
- To make up for the fact that I didn't.
- Alright. - Nina, come on out!
- Nina.
- Oh! - Oohh!
- This is different.
(laughing)
This is different.
(ka ching)
I really picked something with a mindset of what young me,
teenage me would have liked to wear to prom.
And I think that this is that.
These days, would I probably pick something
exactly like this?
No.
- [Joyce] Yeah.
- [Nina] I think I would probably go for something darker
and not quite as matronly looking.
- [Joyce] Yeah.
- But, it's kinda fun.
- Yeah!
- These days I would cut it short, I'd like--
- Yes, body!
Body! - Just make an extra slit.
Show some leg.
- But young me would've been into this.
- I like it. - I really like it.
It's like vintage, like 40s glam.
- I feel like if your hair was curled,
like those tight curls.
- Pin up. - Yes!
I would've loved 'em.
- It would be fun!
Kind of a mish mash of things,
but I don't hate it.
I don't think adult me now would wear this
out and about, but it is fun.
Modern me needs to change something about this.
It's not quite working for me,
but that's also what's fun about Poshmark.
I don't think this was that expensive.
I mean this was under $100.
I don't feel like that bad about having spent money on it.
I don't feel like like I see a ton of dresses
like this at proms and so it would be cool to
rock up and be like, you didn't have this.
- I like that.
- Okay, Lea.
- Alright!
- [Nina] It's your turn.
- Lea, let's see it.
- Wow! - Wow!
- This color!
- [Lea] Yeah!
(kah-ching)
- [Joyce] So good on you.
- [Lea] I really like this color, it's pretty.
- It looks so beautiful on you.
- It's a good dress.
- It has sort of these breast plates in here
that make me look a lot more voluptuous than I am.
- That's what I saying saying before.
What's nice about being an adult and picking a prom dress
versus being a teenager.
Yes, you could wear this to prom,
but you could also wear this to any formal thing.
- [Lea] That's true, I could just throw a jean jacket on it.
- [Joyce] Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I love it.
- Maybe I'll just wear this the rest of the day.
I like this dress because it has a lot of
space down here, so it's airy and don't get too hot,
so my lady parts can breathe.
- [Joyce] Yes! - [Nina] That's good.
- I like that is has this empire top.
I don't feel insecure about my waist area.
18 year old me would definitely wear this.
- It's beautiful.
It looks really beautiful on you
- I love it.
I would buy from Poshmark again.
It really shows that you can get a good dress
if you want to, at your price range.
- I would also buy from Poshmark again.
It was a little bit overwhelming,
but I do like having options.
- I would definitely buy from Poshmark again.
I was happily surprised.
I didn't think any of this was gonna
come out this way, honestly.
So, since we all have amazing dresses,
I think we should have a mini prom for Nina.
- Oh my God!
- Yes, a full function.
It's time!
- We're flying the disco ball.
- Yeah!
(light happy music)
