Where can I get a prom dress?

SuzySu

Self explanatory really, but the cheapest I've seen is £110 new. I don't mind buying second hand and will look on Ebay etc, but does anyone know of any sites that sell reasonably priced prom dresses.

I don't want anything really fancy or flouncy - just a sweet dress for my DD2 without paying a fortune.

DD's was £105 from Ebay 18 months ago but I was in my local TK Maxx last week and they had several evening / prom type dresses in from around £45

Have you looked at some of the chinese sellers on eBay? I know a few of the brides from the weddings board got their wedding dresses from asapbay or millies bridal (could be cinderella on ebay) and were really pleased with what they got for the price..

Try Monsoon I know they are expensive but I picked up a £120 dress for £35 on the sale rail, and Ive got to say it looked Much nicer than everyone elses more expensive outfits

New Look has a few prom-style dresses at the moment (see here http://www.newlook.co.uk/women/dresses/going_out_dresses/ProductList.aspx?viewall=true). have a look at Peacocks too as they had a couple recently. (I think the one I saw was only £24)
I definatly recommend ebay though, I got a lovely prom dress for £13 (inc. P+P) a few months ago. The seller had never worn it and said it cost £70 originally.

Have you thought about renting? I mean seriously when will they wear it again?

Mine cost £30 to rent for the night, was gorgeous and I never needed it again

My daughters was actually a reasonably priced burgundy bridesmaid dress from BHS but many of her friends got theirs from Monsoon,Debenhams, and cheapest of all - TKMaxx

They all looked lovely on the night
