Chapter: I Dream of a Jeanie Bottle - Extras
So I have to work out the plot a little (I kind of wrote myself into a corner). I’m not sure if I’ll have enough time to get the plot sorted out and draw the comic this week. So in the meantime, I decided to come up with some prom dress ideas, and let you all discuss what kind of dresses you think Jeanie and Natalie should be wearing.
Don’t get hung up on the colors here, as I just put them in to help distinguish the dress from the model. The colors on all the characters’ dresses are still up in the air. And feel free to discuss possibilities such as “I like the top of number 8 with the bottom half of number 5”.
Well this is fun! I definitely look forward to Jeanie and Natalie wearing something fancy like these lovely dresses.
I think #5’s halter top with the mermaid-style skirt of #3 would make a great choice for Natalie. It’s modest (no cleavage), but still tight and sexy.
Though I feel like Jeanie would probably flaunt her hotness a little more. Maybe go with showing a bunch of leg through a thigh-high slit like in #6. And maybe the top from #8. Deep cleavage. 🙂
I dunno. Jeannie would go with the #13 dress, with the #12 hairstyle. as for Natalie, she might go with the #7 dress, with the #11 hairstyle.
Prom Dress need to be long. I hate this short styles. 5 and 6 look best, but I have a feeling Nat will be in 10.
Not 10 for Nat, the cleavage goes below the ribcage. The tops of 5, 7, 11 and 14 would work for Nat, plus anything that is not showing legs. (Unless Natalie gets forced into something uncomfortable by Jeannie)
Jeannie herself would be the type to show off her goods in an over-the-top sexy manner, but I think only when provoked by a rival. She might go for any costume I guess, but something unconventional like 1 and 4 would tempt her?
Hm, until she realizes that Jean will honestly try to f*** her, she might go with anything.
Well I think Natalie would wear number 3 or 5 cause Neil is not that flashy for Jean would be number 1 and 2 or 6.
Number 14 looks just like the one dress Natalie wore that time she had to go to the convention with Rodge.
You think so? It seems more like Red’s party dress, from Melvin Chronicles:

#2 for Jeanie
#14 for Natalie.
Granted, I might be responding to the poses.
Are they too far back in time for one of them to wear a jumpsuit?
I forget which recent comment section clarified the time jump, but I think they are only about 5 years in the past.
I really #6 and #8.
I am loving 14 and 12.
14! ftw!
14 for Natalie and 6 for Jeanie
Jeanie would prob be 13s bottom with 14s top
Nat would prob not choose it but jeanie would make sure it was at least 6 or 9
Nat- 2 and Jeanie-13. 13 would be similar to Jeanies normal outfit and 2
Is Natalies style.
I like 4, 6 ,9, and 13 myself. Although I still love the dress Natalie wore back in 426 and 427. I even admit to stealing that one for a commission. It’s too good.
Yes! I love that dress! So sexy.

I like the bottom half of 3 for Jeanie. It’s very overly prom-like which fits with how much she seems to be enjoying this. And it would be fun to see her dressed so feminine while dancing with her male self.
Also, mermaids are awesome.
Based on some of the outfits she’s poofed for herself in the past, Jeanie is more of an exhibitionist so I would go with #6 or #13 for her. Natalie is not going to have a lot of choice in the matter since Jeanie is going to pick her outfit and I’m guessing she’ll be pushing the quality time as a teenage girl motif and sick her into something flirty like #1 or #4. I can see them both in Farrah Faucet hair styles.
I dunno, Jeanie isn’t necessarily going to pick Natalie’s dress. She’ll likely have a strong influence on the decision, but I’m thinking it’ll be more like “Look, you gotta get into the spirit of prom, Neil! If you don’t pick one, I’ll just poof you into #4. Got it?”
@Robert: Yes, I think that’s going to be what happens… Natalie will dither too long and “POOF” flirty party dress with staggering high heels. It will be a shade of green, of course, Natalie’s color in almost everything she’s worn (in fact, I’d be hard pressed to find another color Neil/Natalie has worn). Jeanie will be in something pink or red, the flashier the better because she reflexively wants to be the center of attention. Both will be in expensive, up do hairstyles, maybe with extensions and highlights (since the jerk is paying for it).
I think Natalie-14 and Jeanie-13 would look nice.
I was thinking the same thing, but I also think Mike’s comment just above yours is probably right and Jeanie will put Natalie in something much less conservative.
Much to Natalie’s consternation. I mean, Nat’s a conservative man in a cute girl’s body and anything enhancing that fact is going to embarrass the heck out of him… or rather, her. I expect we’ll see a lot of blushing.
Go for the long dress with the leg-slit—gives the boys a hint of mystery.
I really dislike 1, 4, 6, and 13. Too short, too slutty, or both. 5, 10, 12, and 14 would be my preferred choices.
The question isn’t which of those is too slutty. The question was which would Jeanie wear. Although the answers might be dangerously similar.
Natalie should be 3. Jeanie I think would look good in 12.
I like numbers 3 and 13 for the dress options, and possibly the top half of 13 with the bottom half of 3
Yes, the short one are out, because, they like a bugger hop dress.
Jeanie will pick something that has a low cut top that accent her Double D or larger breast and her hour glass figure. So she will pick a tight dress down to the waist where it will flare out and then drops almost to the floor with a slit in one side to show misery in there and the dress may have some sparkler on it too. Jeanie has pretty body with a large set of boobs to go with it and Jeanie is a really big show off and she will be fronting it too. When Jeanie show up at the Prom, she going to walk through there like she owns the place and just about every guy that Jeanie walk past with probably get horny too with Jeanie giving them an Orphan Anny look of innocence.
Now Natalie if she is the one that is making the choice and not Jeanie making the of what she wares, the top will show as little skin as possible and it will be one of the longer dresses that doesn’t have a slit in it, it will probably be a loose fitting dress, but, still well cut and conservative in style, but, nice looking. But, if Jeanie picking it for Natalie, then all bets are off as to what Natalie is going to be wearing.
I like 3 and 4. 4 for Nat is super girliy!
8 and 9 i love!!
Jeanie: 13 top, 6 bottom. Very minimal is what I’m going for.
“Natalie”: #4, the last thing a man would choose to wear.
Natalie #5 with #9 hair. Sea-green colour for the dress.
Jeanie #4 with #2 hair. Red for the dress.
I’m a big fan of #6. I’m a sucker for the high leg slit.
natalie in a long dress quiet charm vs Jeanie in a flashy mini dress. Jeanie in a bright color to show up that one girl. as Nat doesn’t want to draw attention might choose a black dress.
5 and 6
for me 5 is first pick then 14 then 11
Neil cannot pull off #4. She’d stay seated or in the shadows the whole time.
I’ll again vote for #14, but she’d also do well in #5.
#7 is awful for anyone.
Jeanie can wear anything else she wants, and will enjoy working it.
@50srefugee: If Jeanie puts Natalie in #4, Natalie isn’t going to have the option of sitting in the shadows… “You’re just going to sit around? POOF! Natalie is in the middle of the dance floor.
But why not avoid the whole problem by giving Natalie something she has a chance of enjoying? I don’t think Jeanie is out to humiliate Neil; she’s honestly trying to help Neil have some fun. She’s misguided as to HOW, because Neil refuses to make any wishes, but Neil standing in the spotlight fuming mad isn’t going to get either of them a good time, and I think even Jeanie knows that.
(Besides, the last prom I observed, my nieces’, a couple of decades ago, gah, #4 would have been considered inappropriate. Evening gowns were still more on point than outright party dresses, as they were at my own prom.)
@50srefugee: Frankly, I don’t think Natalie is going to voluntarily leave the comfort of the flower wall (which is where I’m sure Zoe is going to be sitting) no matter what sort of dress she’ wearing. Not without some encouragement by Jeanie (magical or otherwise), and I doubt that Teen Neil is going to aske her to dance with Zoe present.
I confess, I’m more interested in CD’s corner. I admit I can’t immediately see it. Anybody else with better plot vision than I?
What do you mean by “CD’s corner”?
@Robert: This, I assume. “wrote myself into a corner”
@Mike: quite right. The corner CD wrote himself into.
4, 6, and/or 13
OK, but which girl? Only Jeanie can work 6 or 13, to say nothing of 4.
You should look at fashion catalogs of the time period that the characters are in. If it’s the 80’s mostly flashy mini skirts and tops, and gothic makeup or somewhat light on the makeup, but loose high bottom dress skirt with high heels (about 2 or 2 1/2 inch high). Don’t forget the jewelry too. Ear rings hangs down too.
This appears to be taking place some time in the early 2010s. Neil and Jean are no older than their late 20s, so their high school years were only 7-10 years ago.
That said, while I know the 80s are known for flashy miniskirts and tops, did girls wear those to *prom*? That feels much more like something they’d wear to clubs and other informal social events. But I wasn’t paying attention to high school formalwear trends when I was 4 years old, so I could be wrong, lol.
@Robert: I just did a google search for 2010’s prom fashion images and all the sketches above fall into that time period. The 1980’s images mostly resembled the long gowns above, although there were a few exceptions.
wait, 2021-2010 = 11 years + 4 = 15. Are you really only 15 years old. I am impressed.
I’m pretty sure that he meant that he was four years old in the 1980s.
Long formals are indeed the most favored for proms. The young ladies do put on quite a show in preparations, which can take the better part of a day. There are always outliers–and God knows, Jeanie’s an outlier if ever there was one–but school chaperones and even parents have veto powers.
Jeannie would look natural in 14, but if that felt a little too close to her default outfit I think she’d go with something like 4, low-cut on top and high cut on the bottom, as revealing as possible to show off how hot Jean’s date is to everyone. I think Natalie would want to wear something more modest like 5, but then Jeannie would say something like “That doesn’t seem to fit right,” and Poof it into something tight and cleavagey like 3 or 14.
For Jeanie= 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 13.
For Natalie=5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14.
I think Jeanie look EXTRA HOT wearing 4 and 13. And possibly 1 and 2. Natalie look good in 5, 7, 10, 14
Jeannie would probably be 6 or 13, whereas Natalie would probably be 5, 11, 12, 14
Jeannie – something between #2 and #13. Risque as all get-out. High heels, exposed garter on the high-cut thigh, the works.
Natalie – exact opposite. #14 with full white elbow-length gloves, low heels, simple hairstyle.
Like on page 426, last panel? https://jeaniebottle.com/archives/comic/jeanie-bottle-426
Close enough!
Since it’s for a Prom, you’ll want to go with either 2, 5, 11, or 12. Due to school dress codes making most of the others invalid, even for prom.
Examples:
1’s skirt is too short
6 shows too much leg
8 too much cleavage
13 shows too much shoulder
if it weren’t for considering dress code limitations, I’d be for 14, 6 and 13
Wouldn’t those depend entirely on your school’s particular choices for dress code violation? And whether the everyday dress code even applies to prom? “Shows too much leg” is not something I’ve ever heard a school dress code specifying.
Robert: School dress codes might not use those exact words, but some will have rules such as “no skirt may show more than four inches above the knees”.
I wish there was an option for a prom dress with bell-like skirts and petticoats, like a ballgown. I could totally see Jeanie putting Natalie in one, and Nat tripping over her skirts. There are so many variants to. Can we get some more options?
Have you seen Hollum-Dusk’s old Natalie comic where she’s wearing just that kind of ballgown? It’s great!

I posted options for a potential 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, prom dress to CD, and he told me to ask you guys, to see if you are interested. What do you think?
Sure, more designs would be fun to check out!
Zoe in 2,5 or 10. Rita would go for 4, 6 or 13
not to change the subject but what does anyone think Bay would wear.
That’s a good question! I feel like 6, 7, or maybe 9 would fit her style.
Please do a montage of them picking ALL the dresses!
I would not complain about this.
JeanieBottle will be delayed this week
Dagnabbit! Oh, well, Real Life happens…
@CD: Still waiting for the paint to dry around your corner?
Or did you find a trap door, and now just have to figure out how the latch works?
Did you change your handle?
I do take some issue with the current story. A lot of what’s happening could have been avoided had ‘Belle Lows’ been teased in the beginning. That would have been an easy out for Neil and Jean in the story.
I’ve also not enjoyed how Neil has been portrayed as Jeans whipping boy. At this point it’s a one-sided relationship at best… and a toxic relationship between the two. We’re basically seeing how Jean screwed Neil over with a girl he likes. And how Neil likely didn’t do anything about the situation.
All-in-all I’ve tried avoiding this chapter because it’s felt very bland and really only shows how huge of an asshat Jean is. And how Jean will continue to walk all over Neil.
Maybe that’s the point of this chapter. Maybe that’s the point of this story. Plotlines repeating themselves. Only this time it’s in the past. Not in a Dukes of Hazard or Bewitched setting.
Compared to the Evil Djinn and Guano arcs, where there was legit character depth and development this chapter has been disappointing.
I have enjoyed this chapter. Can’t wait to see what happens at prom. Hopefully Jeanie gets to much punch and does something embarassing. As for being late-Quality literature is worth the wait.
