The biggest disaster of my life was prom night my senior year. I had picked out the most awesome blue strapless dress ever. I loved it. I convinced my mom to buy it even though the largest one they had a little tight on me. I figured I had a month or so to drop a couple of pounds before prom night. My boyfriend broke up with me the following week. I wasn’t even sure I was going to prom until another guy asked me the week of. I had made no effort to lose any weight. i probably added a couple in my depression over loosing my boyfriend. When prom night came I squeezed myself into my awesome dress and headed out. I was having a great time with my friends and my new guy. About half way through prom as we were dancing, the seem on the zipper burst causing my dress to fall to the floor. The entire place stopped and stared at me as I stood there in nothing but my thong trying to cover as much of my breasts as I could. My friends pulled my dress up around me and helped me to the girls room. They tried to repair it with a few safety pins but in the end my mom came and picked me up early in tears. The only thing worse was having to show up at school on Monday knowing that the entire student body had seen me practically naked and having to endure the snickers, sly grins, and flat out staring. Even though its been years I could still cry every time I think about it.
