Molly you DO deserve the best advice and help we can give you! I too have lost a beloved parent, and I know how desperately hard it is and how you feel. I am very sorry this happened to you at such a young age but if we can be a small comfort and help to you that is great and we are happy to do so!

Mechmix seems to be a little shy, so I'll share some info she told me.
She's about 5'5"
A 36D
And about an AU 16 - I'm not sure what the american equivalent is.
She's a little self conscious about her figure -
BUT she shouldn't be I've been this size myself - and damn sexy (I might add
)
It's all about finding something flattering on your figure. Even skinny girls can find unflattering dresses, right ladies?
I believe she's concerned about having some support for her ample bousom - for dancing.
and concerned about makind sure (if she goes strapless) that it fit within and inch of her life so she doesn't have to worry about it sliding down.
Am I right Molly?
Come on girl!
PS girls love dress shopping and getting dressed up!

What about this dress? It's got plenty of support and comes in TONS of different colors. It's also very classic looking! I love the beading on the top, where it wraps.

Molly,
I really feel for your predicament. I''m going to throw my 2 cents in to try to help.
What sort of dress budget are we working with? I''m a big fan of stretching the budget to buy something super well-made and classic enough to wear again. I still have my prom dress from 1998 (it was a silk sheath, so it never goes out of style)!
I love, love, love this dress (might have to get it for New Year''s myself...). I think empire waisted dresses are super-flattering because they hit you where you are skinniest and hide everything else! You could easily minimize "the girls" with a bandeau strapless bra that has an underwire in it for support. Plus, you can totally wear it again...
If you wanted to have thicker straps, I think something like this is beautiful (but being chesty might be problematic).
As a top heavy girl myself, I often have good luck with J. Crew. This one could be fun and would be easy to glam up with sparkly brooches, etc. I think it would look better a girl with some curve than the model.
General prom suggestions... Try to get some of your friends together to get ready together--that was my favorite part of prom! You can do each other''s nails/hair/etc. It makes the day seem that much more special, I think..

i love the gold ones from Marvel and starset - though the light gold one looks nicer at the moment
the red one looks ok though is light red better than dark red? Red is "sexy" to many people and that might cause problems.
i love that pink one in Melissas post - whats better - light or dark pink? really dark pink might be too strong.
i love the black one in abradabras post - the second one might have worked if i didnt have the two girls and i love the third
Starsets last red one looks good too,
as Sin said i have ample (more than ample actually
) breasts and they cause problems specially with boys - ive been told they are an asset not a negative but i dont know how.

I love this stuff!
All photos below are from www.anntaylor.com Ann Taylor is a clothing store in the US that has really good quality items. They have a collection now called "Celebrations." The great thing about the collection is that they make a ton of items (shawls, shoes, purses) in the same material and color so you can build a whole outfit. I just bought a dress, bolero jacket, and shoes from there. They are really well made. The website has sizing charts so you could figure out where you fall.
Oh, shoot. None of the pictures are working. Go here:

I especially think that the halter dress at the top right could be flattering. It is also available in chocolate brown and champagne, but I think champagne might wash you out with your coloring. The red is really a crimson. I have always thought that crimson is less "sexy" than, say fire-engine red. The dress is $99.99 USD.
Good luck!

I think from what you said (help me out ladies) that she should be looking for
something with a halter or at least wide straps - for security purposes
something cocktail length or so - being 5''5 you don''t want to have to mess with alterations
a color outside the red family - to avoid any misconceptions
possibly blue to bring out the eyes
I was just asking your coloring to guess which color dresses to post and finally....
do not go to a tanning salon - keep that skin young and fresh (just asking for coloring again)
what stores would you buy a dress in AU that we can search online?

I would start to go to stores and try stuff on. Here's a website that has Prom dresses in Austrailia.
If you want to draw attention away from your "ladies", just stay away from low cut and sometimes strapless is a pain! (Trust me, I can relate!)
http://www.dressfinder.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/directory.search/dresses/Australia.htm
Here's a link to all dress stores in Austraila!
Here's some cute ones from Alfred Angelos Website.
Abradabra-I LOVE the first empire waist you posted. Where is that from?
Very true, empire waist style flatters everyone. Accentuates the good and hides the bad!
