Who the Hell wears a turtleneck dress with long sleeves to prom? :lol: I guess she needed the sleeves to hide her arms, but a turtleneck?! I've never seen that before.

Why did these girls have to look so goofy? It's like JoAnn the "beauty queen" who had a horse face and pigtails. :p

I can't believe no one has anything to say about that funny dress. Did girls wear long sleeves and turtlenecks to prom in the 70s? :lol:

I did not see anything wrong with the dress for prom, I thought the dress was cute...especially for it to be back in the 70's and it was in Chicago where it is cold alot of times.

I've just never seen a dress like that for prom. Thelma's dress is more like it. I thought Diana looked way too covered up.

I thought the same thing, it did look like a wedding dress too...and they did try to get married...so maybe that is why she wore that type of a dress. by the way...HOW IN THE HELL DID THEY GET TO INDIANA WITH NO CAR, NO MONEY AND TO PAY FOR A HOTEL ROOM, SHE WAS AN ADDICT AND DID NOT HAVE HER PURSE AND WHAT MONEY DID JJ HAVE....:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

I think they took a bus, but that does seem unrealistic. I can't imagine JJ having enough money for two bus fares, a hotel room, and food. :lol:

On top of all that, I wonder how JJ was able to afford a ticket back home?

Yes, I'm just a basic guy with very little taste or knowledge about women's fashions. But I liked Debbie Allen's dress. As a kid, I probably liked hers more than Thelma's. As I got older, reached adolescence, and watched Thelma do a full turn around in her dress, I realized that hands down, Thelma's dress, and Thelma, in every way, was better :-)

I'm not a fashionita from the 70s, but I actually really liked Diana's dress. In my 5 year old mind at least. Now 30 years later, Thelma's dress is hands down better, and stood the test of time too. I could see a high schooler today wearing Thelma's dress to the prom.

well Diana probably had track marks on her arms so for the long sleeves.

Episode always bugged me because her name was Diana, but JJ kept calling her Diane. He was her boyfriend - he should be getting her name right!
