Prom!
So my prom is coming up....I want a gorgeous dress ( of course) that's white and fluffy. I worry it might be too wedding like. Ideas? Also, where do you get cheaper dresses? The cheapest I found that is close to being considered pretty is 500$. My budget is 150$. And I'll be alone going. Is that pathetic? My school has a stupid rule that you can only take people within your grade within the school. And share you prom experiences! Love to hear them Oct 11 12 03:24 am Link Prom! Wow, that was a long time ago. I went to Junior and Senior prom with the same girl and we had a blast. Angelee, I hope you have a great time dear. I bet you will be the most beautiful girl there!

You might even get a little attention from the local media for it. Oct 11 12 09:35 am Link There are places that sell slightly used designer dresses & prom dresses for a fraction of their new price. You may want to Google this and see if you can find a place near you or an online store, especially in California/NYC/Chicago.

Oct 11 12 06:34 pm Link Honestley I always check out Marshalls, Ross, thrift stores, sometimes you can find some really good deals there! And dont worry about going alone. I've been to prom twice. Once sophmore year with my highschool sweetheart, and once senior year with a long time guy friend. Both times I had a blast, but when I went with a boyfriend I honestley did feel a little obligated to stick with him throughout the night, and when I just went with a big group of friends and a guy friend of mine, we just posed for pictures for our parents then had a blast with our friends. Dont stress about it I'm sure you'll still get a slow dance with some cutie in there at some point in the night HAVE FUN!!

Oct 11 12 09:47 pm Link Thrift stores often have a selection of prom dresses at greatly reduced prices. There's also of course, Ebay. Many girls pay out the Wazoo for a dress they wear one time. That's crazy, in my opinion. Imagine the burn to pay close to 2 grand for a new dress, going to prom, and finding someone else has the same dress. I've gathered a large collection of Gunne Sax dresses and knock-off Gunnes through years of checking thrift stores and occasionally buying off Ebay. I now have over 80 Gunnes alone. Back when I did that I paid no more than $30 per dress, most much cheaper. I've also had girls ask to borrow some for their proms. I don't look for Gunnes much anymore because a few years ago they or the retro look really caught on and they got pretty scarce or just too expensive. Good luck to you on your search. You can get buy cheaper and still look great at your prom. Most of all, have fun, it's a big part of your life and memories that will last forever. Oct 11 12 11:29 pm Link Deb stores have lots of pretty dresses at reasonable prices: http://www.debshops.com/ and there's always eBay too! Best wishes and have fun! Oct 12 12 01:14 pm Link |
