Prom Dress Attire

Proms in Russia and CIS countries
Russian proms are called 'Vipusknoy vecher', which literally means 'evening of graduation'. They take place on the 20th of June, after all state exams are completed. Proms took place on June 21st in 1941, however, on the 22nd all graduates were drafted to participate in the Soviet invasion during World War II.
First, all graduates receive their atestats (or diplomas). Students with higher marks receive them first. Prom gowns and prom dresses.

Afterward, the prom continues as a school ball, traditionally with classic dances. Students may choose restaurants, cafes, or ships rather than school grounds to hold the events. Prom may held in a Discotheque, but it must start with the school waltz.
At the conclusion of the prom evening, it is tradition to walk the whole night and watch sunrise in the morning (on a hill, if applicable, in Moscow - Sparrow Hills).
