I really do like Meg's beading the best, but look at some of the other dresses....
I've never worn a dress like these - ever. I didn't really care what I wore to my prom. I wore an old bridesmaid dress that I had worn at my sister's wedding early that same year. My wedding dress was a vintage wedding dress on loan from the Amherst Museum. It was spectacular, but no beads. My wedding dress was actually featured in Victoria Magazine back in the late 1980s- I know I have the issue around here somewhere. They ran a whole article on the loan program that the museum offered at that time. All the vintage gowns were donated to the museum by one woman with the condition they be loaned out to brides. No alterations were allowed so you had to be able to fit into them. Luckily I was about the size of Meg when I got married, so I had my pick of dresses. I understand they had to discontinue the loan program as the dresses became too delicate as the years went by. I'm glad I had my chance to wear one.
