Cheap Prom Dresses


Is there such a thing?

Anyone know of any good shops/websites? I havent a clue where to begin and my initial search on the internet is rather scary looking at the prices

Re: Cheap Prom Dresses


I have NO idea, but from memory when OH's daughter did this 3 years ago it was a pricey exercise

A quick look brought up this site which isn't too badly priced to be honest http://www.beflirtydresses.com/acata...m-Dresses.html. Also factor in the handbag, shoes, hair, make up, transport (OH's daughter had a friend whose old man had a helicopter so they arranged to land on the school field ).

Not suggesting for a moment though that you rent something that flies but a limo contribution will probably be required

Re: Cheap Prom Dresses


I would suggest ebay. What sort of price, colour, size are you looking for?

I know of a company that makes prom dresses (not in the UK) and they are very cheap but they also make wedding dresses and are quite busy, what is your timescale?? They do make bespoke dresses.

Re: Cheap Prom Dresses


My sister got prom dress from Debenhams, not too dear if I remember.

However, she later sold it on ebay for a fraction of the cost and said she wished she had thought about buying it there as most of the time they are only worn once.

Re: Cheap Prom Dresses


loads of Debehams "Debut" prom dresses on ebay. You could always buy one on there and add some more sparkle etc to it.
