Heels versus flats can obviously make a major difference in how much length you need on your gown! Consider only bringing a family member or a friend whose opinion you trust. One of the biggest mistakes shoppers make is assuming they have to spend hundreds of dollars on a designer prom dress. You can find an array of affordable gowns at department stores don't forget to check the clearance racks , juniors boutiques at the mall, and department store outlets.
When shopping at a trendy store that's popular among your friends, Levine recommends asking around to see what everyone else has picked out to limit the chances of anyone unintentionally "twinning. If you truly have your heart set on a designer dress, or simply want something a little more unique, consider ordering a gown through a formalwear rental company. For a fraction of the retail price, you can rent the dress of your dreams.
You can also find less expensive designer gowns and other budget-friendly prom dresses at consignment stores, by joining a prom dress resale group on Facebook, or by borrowing a dress from a friend. Only try on dresses within your budget. Before you start looking for a dress, come up with a realistic budget. Once you know how much you can spend, only visit the stores that carry dresses in your price range. It may be tempting to try on that pricey designer gown you saw in a magazine, but there's a real possibility that you will end up falling hopelessly in love with something you can't afford.
Instead, Levine recommends using magazines to create a vision of the style, cut, and color you would like in a dress, and then using that inspiration to find something similar that falls within your budget. Don't rule out a dress because the number on the tag doesn't represent what you consider your "normal size. In , the New York Times published a chart showing that a size 8 could vary by up to 5 inches depending on the brand.
This disparity in sizing is never more evident than when it comes to formal attire. If you love the dress and it fits well, it doesn't matter what size is printed on the tag.
It can be tempting to save some money by ordering a discounted designer-inspired prom dress online. But that steal of a deal can end up costing you much more in the long run. Many of these online retailers can take months to ship and ultimately deliver ill-fitting, cheaply made knock-offs that look nothing like the original image posted on their site. Returning the dress may even cost more than the original purchase.
