My daughter is looking for a prom dress. Any ideas where we can get a cheap one from? All her friends are paying over £200 and my daughter doesnt want us to pay that amount as she wants to save it for her Uni fees. Can anyone recommend a good website?
Things will get better day by day.

My sister got hers in one of the dress agency shops (pre-loved).:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0

Plenty of party dresses at Debenhams that could be jazzed up with the right shoes and wrap.

If shes a goth / emo / alt dresser then a trip to Camden High Street might be in order, Fairy Goth Mother has some nice new retro style stuff and Vivien of Holloway always tops my dress wish list

I don't know where you are from, but I had a lovely red silk dress from the Karen Millen outlet shop at Bicester Village if it isn't too far for you to go. There is also a Ted Baker outlet, and a Monsoon one.0

Another one for Ebay.
We just couldn't find one she liked in the local shops so bought a beautiful dress from Ebay at a fraction of the cost.
I don't have the heart to sell it on though !And in the middle of the flood I felt my worth

Please know that you were mine as well
Drops of water hit the ground like God's own tears
And spread out into shapes like
