I love this one.

The whole prom thing is an expensive nightmare, eldest 2 years ago cost with shoes, hair etc about £200, youngest started looking for hers this month and has seen one she likes in a bridal shop and has fitting next week.
Debenhams are very good for dresses.

dd had picked this out herself yesterday, I love it too:D gizmo111, I'm lucky dd is as frugal as I am;) the idea is that we like to spend but not waste money, she says she will probably only wear it once or maybe again for a special occasion so she has set herself a budget of a maxium of £60 for the dress, her friends are spending £300:eek: thank goodness for dd:rotfl:thanks for the help:)

GLOWGIRL it's also my dd's prom this year, she is the eldest of my 4 children. I made it quite clear last year( when she came home saying prom dresses were about £300 plus) that I wouldnt be spending silly money on a dress that would probably only be worn once.
The budget was £60 for the dress. We went to T.K.Maxx at the beginning of January, she saw one dress in her size, tried it on she fell in love with & it fits her perfectly (thankfully its a size 0 from America RRP $300). To top it all it was £59.99.
Her friend has also got her prom dress from there, it was £39.99, worth going to have a look.
