Prom Dresses on a Budget
Dear Budget Fashionista,
My Prom is right around the corner and I need help finding a prom dress on a budget. I have about $100 spend. Help!
Answer: You’re in luck, the best time to purchase your prom dress is right now. Most stores are having huge sales on their holiday formal wear and you can find a great, perhaps even designer, prom dress for less than $100. If you’re into vintage and know you’re way around a sewing machine thrift stores is a great budget friendly option. However, word of caution: make sure you do the smell test—if the garment smells musty, then leave it on the rack. You might also want to try online stores like SmartBargains.com, Overstock.com
and Bluefly.com
, all of whom often have formal dresses for well under $100.

Another option you might try - and this is also a great one for plus-size gals - is David’s Bridal. They have a prom collection, but they also have some bridesmaid dresses that would make very nice prom dresses too.
Macy’s right now also has a lot of dresses on sale and for less than $100, but go QUICKLY because they will start hiking up the prices and stock will deplete the closer you get to prom time.
