Okay, formal wear is something most of us don’t face too often. But at some point, there’s a wedding, a prom, a gala (if you’re lucky!) that requires you pick up something formal and fabulous—not such a bad thing, really, except finding something beautiful AND budget-friendly ain’t easy. One option we like? Newport News has some really sophisticated evening dresses for incredibly reasonable prices (like the one pictured above, for $49). But you tell us—where do you go for an evening-appropriate ensemble without taking out a second mortgage?

If you are a plus-sized diva, there are two sites to check out for formal wear: zaftique.com and igigi.com. They both have reasonable prices for dresses and gowns and the styles are up to date! I have a military ball coming this September, and I’m already shopping for it.

My favorite formals have come from a Dillard’s outlet not too far from me. Outlets rock!

I’ve found some gorgeous things at vintage and consignment stores - these are the type of pieces people get rid of so they generally look less “tired” than other second-hand clothing.
I’ve also got some dresses from eBay: items in brands and sizes I knew would fit, meaning a higher chance of the item fitting.
I’ve also had luck at Macy’s without breaking the bank, Filene’s Basement, TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
