Parachuting in a very full dress

Well, if she did stabilize head-down I suspect she wouldn't be wearing that dress for very long . . .

her prom date was probably hoping she wouldn't be wearing it very long

Sell the dress back to Queen Victoria, and go skydiving

Quenn Victoria?! Are you serious?

It is obviously French, late 19th century haute couture. Queen Vic would not have been caught dead in that.

I think everyone's covered the safety issues well enough, but your dress is gorgeous

Even if she can't skydive in it, I'd love to see her or any lovely lady in it.

On a practical note, the smallest round parachute - certified for human use - was 20 feet in diameter: the Pioneer K-20. It was only intended for petite ladies and was only made for a few years in the early 1980s. They have now all been retired.

So you would need a much larger dress to survive the landing.

I had a K-XX; this is so embarrassing.

Hence "Off like a prom dress!"

Experience is what you get when you thought you were going to get something else.
