I’ll say it again: David’s Bridal. They’ve got some great affordable dresses AND a great range of sizes.
Also, if you’re brave, thrift stores. :)
I have to agree with Semer, When I was in high school I got my prom dress from David’s Bridal. It was origanally 250 dollars and I got it on clearance for $40!! It was beautiful and fit me perfectly so I didn’t need any tailoring.
I second the eBay vote - especially if you can score something vintage because no one will be wearing that same dress.
(I bought my wedding dress brand new on eBay for $100, and it was perfect. The seller was a bridal store owner who had recently closed shop and was selling her remaining stock.)
Good luck and have fun!
