Buffy’s mother bought her daughter a long white dress for the dance in Prophecy Girl (a sacrificial garment, if I ever saw one - what was Joyce thinking?!) Everyone comments on it. At the end of the episode, when the gang are walking away, Angel says “I like your…”, and Buffy quips back “yeah, yeah. It was a big hit with everyone.” This was added in post production and wasn’t in the script. |

I found the dress, when combined with the leather jacket and crossbow she wore as she descended into the master’s lair, to be an excellent metaphor symbolizing the dichotomy of the Buffy character. While lacking the texture of Buffy’s hope chest in “The Harvest” the dress, contrasted with Angel’s(?) leather jacket, is a great representation of the central theme of the series. Buffy the vulnerable teenage “prom queen” (the dress), versus Buffy the slayer (the leather jacket and crossbow).

Your theory sums up good with mine.
They did a good job to dress the characters on the seies.

Is it just me, or was this outfit - white prom dress, black leather jacket - a dead ringer for the one Kristy Swanson wore in the Buffy movie?

Yeah! It is very Swanson’ish. I loved the whole leatehr jacket, white dress duo. It is very symbolic: Her white dress represents her teenage side and her “slayer” side (the jacket) is covering that up. Good stuff.
