Hmm, not sure if the thread title might attract the wrong sort of reader:rotfl:
Anyway - for anyone with a Marks & Spencer outlet shop close by, I just bought my son a dinner jacket for his school prom for £14! It's beautiful fabric, nicely cut with a satin collar. Just what he was looking for. I now have until June to find a pair of trousers to match. Just how many shades of black are there?:D
However, they had a good range of styles & the Collezione (sp?) range was also hugely reduced but unfortunately nearly all size 40 so for anyone who has a smart function to attend in the near future it might be worth a look as the savings were really good.

Had this problem when my son was 15, decided he would only wear/fit it once so went down the hire route, from memory Slaters hired out the whole kit inc shirt cumerbund and bow tie for about £350

Might be worth checking your local charity shops too. I sent my boys prom suits there as they had had a growing spurt when when left school and were going for jobs, so the suits didn't fit. Only worn once.0

The ladies can wear them too I'm sure:)
We did consider hiring but in our area the cost is £45 and the stuff looked as though it had been to too many good nights out:rotfl:
I also have another son who'll hopefully get use of the jacket next year too tho.0 -
Is it just me that thought this post was going to be something...saucy?
