Prom season is fast approaching and the search for the perfect dress has already begun. You’ve got your style set, but you’re within budget.
Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you. Here’s how to find an inexpensive prom dresses without sacrificing your personal style.
Finding a Dress
Finding a ball gown that fits well is easy; you just need to know what looks good. The biggest challenge for most girls is finding a dress that is still attractive and affordable. You don’t need to spend a fortune on a dress that will barely fit you. So let’s start there.
On prom day, what to wear, what to bring, what to keep in mind
When it comes to homecoming dresses, having a high school sweetheart or friend with good taste is critical in getting a good deal.
Once you figure this out, you’ll have the ground rules for finding a good dress for your budget. Here are the key points you should keep in mind when shopping for your prom dress:
Think about your body type. Not all dresses look good on all body types.
Inexpensive Dresses
First, be aware that most women can wear their favorite midi, strapless or halter dresses for under $100. If you don’t already own some of these items, they are easy to buy on the main streets, especially online. In addition, you can usually find cheap dresses in the sales section, which is an easy place to find the perfect dress for less.
If you are shopping for a ball gown in the sales section, always check the return policy. For example, if your favorite dress just got back in stock, you still have it or it is no longer in the sale section.
While certain brands always have their dresses on sale at different times of the year, other brands will still have them on their website or in store throughout the year.
Wholesale Dresses
It’s more expensive than buying retail, but like a wholesale dress, you’ll end up paying less than $10 for the dress. These dresses have a huge selection and can be purchased in bulk from retailers.
Prices range from $13 to $200, and they accept discount coupons for high school students.
Updating a Dress
Nothing beats a new dress. You want to look as fabulous as possible in front of your friends and family. That’s why we’re going to update your old prom dress.
One option would be to buy a new dress. Again, you’ll get a discount, with the added bonus of not worrying about finding matching shoes. Some prom dresses can cost upwards of $400.
Your second option is to refinish the dress you already own. This is a fun way to get creative and enjoy your prom with a bang. If your ball gown has been slightly damaged by washing, or you are from a bygone era, we can bring it back to its former glory!
Finally, we can give you the complete renovation treatment whether you are wearing a bridesmaid dress or a vintage dress. You will have the personalized service that your friends and family are used to.
Finding Shoes and Accessories
It’s easy to bet on a specific style or designer, but do you know how much it will cost to buy them at a particular store? You’ll pay $200 to $300 for a pair of strappy high heels or even heels that match your dress. On the other hand, you can get your toes out of the corners of most shoes for half that price.
Buying accessories is the same way. Do you want something with a variety of colors, like a bag or a pair of earrings? Do you want a little sparkle or something understated like a bracelet? Choose what you love, but see what you get for half the price.
Shop in this department
You can find fabulous prom dresses in half, especially when you go to your local department store.
Fitting the dress to your size
High quality bespoke clothes cost more than a simple ready-to-wear dress. If you’re shopping at a large department store, you probably won’t find what you’re looking for at a decent price. This is not the case if you are shopping at a store that specializes in plus size fashion.
Don’t expect to find cheap dresses on the shelves of a typical department store. These online retailers offer designer dresses in sizes 12 to 26 at a variety of designer prices. It’s important to choose a dress that you love but that fits well.
While you may still have a large sum to spend on your dress, there is no need to spend an arm and a leg.
Asking your friends about their dresses
First, ask your friends what kind of dress they already have and how much they paid for it. If they can invent something similar and/or cheaper, it will save you money, and for a school-age girl, having some tasteful friends is a blessing.
Splitting the cost of your ball gown
Unless you’re shopping on the street or finding a traditional dress at a discount store, you’ll be spending £200 to £3000 (approximately $300 to $5000) for the perfect dress. I’ve already mentioned that there isn’t really a cheaper option, but there are some ways to reduce the cost.
An easy task is to find a dress that you can buy for less than the price of your dress and wear it again.
