My daughter and I were searching for prom dresses tonight. We found a whole bunch we really loved but they were all in the 300-500 dollar range (WAY TO MUCH!! 200 or less is more our price range) Her prom theme is fairytales and she wants something pretty and very formal (think cinderella-poofy styled long dresses). She loves the type with the corset in the back also. So if you have any sites or any dresses that fit add a link so I can check it out.
 
Here is something like she wants:

Thank you...I absolutely LOVE that dress!! She isnt really into pink but Im thinking she might like it too. It is still a few months off but we dont want to be scrambling at the last minute to try to find a dress for her plus she is really short so itll most likely have to be altered for her.

Sweeeeet. Yeah, definitely better to start early!
 
that is really pretty. It is kinda similar to what she wore to prom in the ninth grade (she went with a really good friend whose date cancelled at the last minute)
 
she is open to other colors. Only color she said she really doesnt want is black because she has worn it to almost every formal dance she has been to so far.
 
Well, I might be biased, but I work for this formal wear site: TJFormal.com - my sister owns it. :) There are all kinds of price ranges. What size does she need?

a few more for an idea on what she likes...

here is her right before going to the prom a few years ago. This was a borrowed dress but she really loved it.

Just a hint...bridesmaid dresses are WAY cheaper than prom dresses and come in so many different styles. The only reason more people don't buy them for prom is that you have to order them many weeks in advance and most people don't shop that soon. So you might keep that in mind. She could get virtually any color she wanted.
 
hmm Im not sure. She usually wears a small or medium. In the past we have bought her a 3 and a 5 the one in the bottom is a size 3 the middle one is a small and the top was made by a friend of hers grandmother.

These are all so pretty. She went to bed awhile ago but I told her Id have some to look at tomorrow after school. I believe that prom is the middle of March here. So that gives us about four months still. Id like to have the dress picked out and paid for by the end of January though because she will still need accessories and pictures. This will be her first formal dance where her date is her boyfriend and not just a friend so shes pretty excited :-)
 
Just gonna throw this out there too. Pretty soon the stores are going to have TONS of Christmas and New Year dresses. I got my senior prom dress in January for like $50, lol. I LOVED it.
 
OMGosh! I adore the first one you posted Jessica and the last pink one that Dawn posted! It makes me want to go to prom again! LOL!

Love these:

I think this thread got brought back up because someone spammed it. LOL! I was reading through it thinking, isn't she married and pregnant now? :)

I reported the SPAM post.
 
LOL yes we found a prom dress and a wedding dress since this post :D Might need some maternity pants soon suitable for working in the pharmacy (black dress pants)
