-You know a dress is fun for a full night of dancing and partying
when it's just itchy. - Yep.
Just a lot of itch.
Mamrie: Well hello everybody and welcome back!
I'm Grace.
I'm Mamrie, and today this might get delivered. - Delivered.
Specifically with an apostrophe, 'cause we didn't have any more e's.
Guys, if we get over 500,000 subscribers, we'll get another e, so...
Yeah, tell your friends!
Today, we are talking about all things delivery.
Specifically, how the world of online shopping - Yeah.
and, like, Amazon and stuff affects prom season.
Yeah, I mean I remember when I was in high school -- not to date myself.
[mockingly] "Back when I rode a stegosaurus to school."
It was, like, a big to-do to go out to the mall to go shopping for your prom dress.
And it was a nightmare, because you were fighting over sizes.
And price tags.
My mom had a very, like, specific budget for my prom dress.
I think I ended up getting it at like JCPenney. - Really?
Yeah, and that was *nice*.
There's one I got from the mall, and I definitely did the, like,
"Mom I'll pay you back over time
from my movie theater job." and never did.
Also, when you go into those stores as a teenager,
you get completely Pretty Woman'd.
Totally looked up and down at Caché like you are trashé.
We would go to...
There was a bridal store, one in our county, called [southern accent] Southern Bride,
and that's where you would go and get measured,
and they'd order prom dresses for you.
So then you have, like, this six-week waiting time,
then you had to go get it.
If you gained five pounds you were screwed.
K, I mean that's basically the same as getting a wedding dress.
I know.
That's nuts.
I know, that's why I will not get married.
But now, you can order a dress online and get it in like,
36 hours? - Yeah.
Can you Amazon-same-day a prom dress?
I bet you could, somewhere.
But here are some facts about online shopping
that I think are really interesting
'cause I do *all* of my shopping online for the most part.
Oh, yeah!
She only, like, comes down the mountain to film the show. - Yeah.
She's back up in the castle.
I'm back up in my watch tower.
55% of consumers would rather interact with technology in-store than a sales associate.
You know what they should do? - Hmm?
Maybe we should invent this. - OK.
It's when you're in a dressing room, - Uh huh.
Rather than have to be like,
"Hey, can you get me a size up?" [Grace gasps]
you just had an iPad that says the new size you need.
You scan, like, the code of the dress on there.
You say your new size, and they bring it to you.
I mean, they... the opening of Clueless has technology that we should be having.
Today.
88% of shoppers characterized detailed product content
as being extremely important when they're looking through. - Mhm.
And 90% of people buying on Amazon wouldn't purchase an item with less than three stars.
I agree with that.
Yeah, I mean, if it's got less than three stars, like a hotel, you're like,
"Something bad's happening."
"Something bad's happened there."
The one thing in my life that I realized, like, thrust me into adulthood
is when I purchased a vacuum online years ago for the first time,
and the reviews on vacuums on Amazon are so overwhelmingly detailed.
How many unique comments think they're being cool by saying "This vacuum sucks."
[boos]
[offended] I'm making fun of that joke.
OK? I'm above it. This is meta.
Fee shipping is the incentive online shoppers want most.
88% of online shoppers want free shipping.
I... that does...
That doesn't affect you?
It hasn't sold me, 'cause I'm like, I'm just gonna...
I'm spending a lot of money online anyway.
Have you ever though, when it pops up and it goes,
"You know, if you spent twenty more bucks, you'd get free shipping."
That's always the clinker for me, as I'll add another item to get that free shipping.
Yeah, this is according to Walker Sands Communications...
Oh, them?!
Yep, that good ol' company.
Free shipping is what customers want most, but it's not really about saving money.
It's about the *perception* of saving money
and feeling like you snagged a deal.
I got hijinked.
We actually did the online shopping route to order a couple prom dresses today.
All under $30 from websites like Boho or Boohoo, Asos, Missguided.
It's gonna be a boohoo because I think these are in junior sizes?
Yeah, so...
So, I might be wearing a lot of prom-themed ascots.
Its gonna be an SOS -- save our ship.
All right, let's do it. Chomp.
Mamrie: 1, 2, 3.
Mamrie: Wow! Yours is a lot better than mine.
You...
look like the hottest girl at a funeral.
Yeah...
How was your seance?
Right?!
And the tie is a confusing...
It looks like... - It hurts!
Is it supposed to go that way?
Well, if I undo it, my head will fall off.
From that horror story.
This is very like, your Glenda the good witch.
and I'm, like,
this is very "Wicked."
We look like two toddlers that someone dressed up.
I look like we're sisters, and I'm, like, the goth like one, and they're like,
"You're going to prom!"
Yeah, and I'm the tomboy, and they're like, "Put the dress on!"
And we're like [groans]... - Nooo...
With your hair and everything though, it's very...
You look like an award.
Thank you. - You're welcome.
That's a huge compliment.
Both of these dresses are from Asos.com.
They're both under $30, which, I mean...
For under $30, I feel like, not bad.
I don't agree. What? - Yeah.
This one is $29 and officially the color is called mustard.
And this one was $28, - Oooo.
and the color is sadness. - Yeah.
So my dress is described in the description as a queen bee
It's a little skater dress with a sweetheart neckline.
So you're gonna skateboard outta here?
I'm out!
Skater dress means like figure skating.
Could you imagine if someone came out in this length?
No!
They'd never get a triple axel.
You look like Adam Rippon.
I look like an Adam Ripoff.
Mine, the description is "Pretty lace mini prom dress."
I feel small.
Emotionally.
Well, what's that like?
Lovely!
That actually looks really good.
It feels... It's not terrible.
It's just when you have to walk at all.
You couldn't go dancing in it. - No.
Like, that's an event where you just stand still.
I do a lot of, I like to move my legs.
Lots of kicking.
I can't do the splits in this.
No, it's out for me.
I feel like like a shitty stepmom.
I stole your father from your mother.
[deep voice] Whoa.
OK, this one's from Boohoo.
And it's called the Bethany lace maxi dress.
See, you look like Bethany, who is a Real Housewife.
Yeah, and this one's $29.
And I mean, for $29, sure.
But the thing is, this is definitely, like, an evening dress. - Mhm.
So when you wear it in the cloak of night,
it doesn't look super-cheap.
But if you're 18 years old and you're wearing this,
it feels a little a little...
It's a little mature. - Yeah.
It definitely... You're bringing your 26-year-old boyfriend to prom.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
Meanwhile, you look very youthful.
This is a $23 dress, so the bargain of all of them.
It's called a white wrap Bardot skater dress, so another skater dress.
Another skater dress.
But this one, I mean I look...
spittin' image of Brigitte Bardot.
I feel like [bleep].
I feel like a sausage casing.
Which is always the best way to go into your prom.
Yeah, you wanna feel terrible. - Yeah.
This one's from Missguided.
And it definitely is misguided.
It's also mis-sized.
Um, it's also a mis-take.
Its very tight on the stomach, hence the slate.
You could wear this to prom if you were like,
"[bleep] this high school, I'm gonna go make it in Hollywood." - Yeah.
And you just wear a slate as an accessory.
And if a guy tries to dance with you, you're like,
[clapboard claps] Cut.
Which I think is probably what we should do now.
Yeah, for sure. Chomp!
Grace, who do we have a gratitude problem with today?
Well this was tweeted at us.
They said, "You asked for a flag so I grabbed my markers.
Mouth, pretzel, paw print, with a crown on top.
Colors are red and yellow, your hair colors,
and the white stripe with black confetti like the studio decoration.
Hope you like it."
I love it. I also am forever now gonna call you yellow-headed instead of blonde.
I'll take it, thank you so much! It's adorable.
