Prom dress - Urgent!!

Need to find a dress urgently for my DD at the end of May. Can anyone recommend a shop that will post out to me where they have a large selection in stock that I could view either online or via manufacturers site?

Have spent several hours so far without success - must be short and special so warehouse, debenhams, HoF, etc. etc. don't have anything!

(Yes I know we should have started looking earlier......)

Thank you - desperate mum!

    maybe reminding your offspring that we don't live in america would be best

    Monsoon have lovely dresses but I would suggest trying on in store and then buying online. Also have a look in the wedding shops locally. Loads do Prom dresses now and they often have sample dresses they will sell off cheaply. I would say don't go on a Saturday because of all the brides :)

    What was the point?

    Proms/end of year balls have been popular in the UK for years, and whilst they may have originated in the US they are very much part of normal culture in many places in the UK. Cultures change and develop over time (thank goodness, how boring if they didn't!), and given that proms really aren't detrimental what's the point in getting uppity about it?

    Back to the OP, check www.freemans.com/oli regularly as they change their stock frequently but sometimes have some really well-priced nice dresses.
