ok my son has his school prom in about a months time and i am trying to sort out his suit, i thought about hiring but that will cost £60, so i thought if i could buy one for about the same price that would be better. anyway does anyone have any ideas, i thought of tk maxx, primark, h&m,bhs does anyone know if these places do them for age 15 and what sort of prices they are, or does anyone have any ideas where i might get one

thanks in advance

It's worth having a look in your local charity shops - I have ended up with dinner suits in a range of sizes for my boys over the years this way! And when the youngest outgrows the smaller sizes, guess where they are going back to........:D

Burtons have a sale! With a bit of luck it will be both online and offline.

£50 for a suit from Burton seems like a bargain. Off to town tomorrow to have a look.

When it was our sons Prom last year, we bought him a suit from Tesco when they had the discount period. We got the expensive suit and it only cost about £55. He could then use it for interviews and celebrations too when needed.

Have a look at Greenwoods - they have a basic package for evening wear hire for £35. Ask if there are any discounts for students.
