Prom Dress Hunt!

adjhoice- good luck! I have two daughters who I guided through multiple proms. I shopped at a store with a large selection of gowns for teenagers. Most of their gowns came from "Dillard's". You can also look in "Ross", a store that sells clothing from overstock in other stores. I don't know if you have those stores where you live. You can also find gowns in bridal shops, as they carry bridesmaid gowns. If you buy a gown off the rack, it might be a savings. One more thing - I never paid full price for a gown. I've been reading about how teens are cutting costs when it comes to prom time, because our economy is failing. They suggested looking for resale shops, sometimes you can find a nice gown there. Another suggestion was to check around for older sisters gowns, or maybe wear someone else's gown from a previous prom. The shoes sometimes ended up costing more than the dress. That drove all of us to distraction. I'm glad those days are behind me. Take your time and have fun.

I get involved with this every year, since I teach high school seniors. What most of the girls do is track down something they like in fashion magazines, adjust the photo to include whatever they wish, and bring it to a seamstress. Not only are they able to get a customized look; they generally spend less than they would have in the stores.
