It’s almost prom time again and this may be a great year to really consider buying cheap prom dresses!  It seems like most everyone is been cutting back a bit lately and the prom can take a big bite out of a girl and her parents’ budgets.

It just makes sense to economize wherever you can, but remember cheap does not have to mean tacky or ugly. Just concentrate on how great it feels to get a bargain – just because it’s prom doesn’t mean it’s not still fun to save money!

Yes, it is possible to wear a knockout dress and not completely break the bank. And you don’t have to feel embarrassed about it. With a little ingenuity, you can look like a million bucks in a cheap prom dress and have more money to spend on other fun stuff (like the perfect shoes!).  You might even find a lot of your friends are in the same boat this year!

• The first thing to do is look at websites, catalogs and magazines to get an idea of the looks you like.  For every uber-expensive and gorgeous designer dress, it’s a pretty good bet that copies are available at lower prices.
• Once you have a feel for what you want, hit the stores.  Find styles you like, try them on and see how you look in them. (Take a friend along to get a second opinion since those dressing room mirrors are generally awful things.)
• Think about all the possibilities – short, long, even evening separates that have a future life for college functions.  When you find settle on a style and color, then the real hunt begins to find the best deal.
• Look around your area for discount formal wear stores, check the clearance racks at department stores
• and search online.

Check out places you might not have thought of

• consignment and thrift shops jump to mind. These are especially great sources for the freethinking fashionistas out there who want a retro look (really hot right now) or vintage dress (many are really elegant) or if you go for the goth side of life.
• Don’t forget to consider wedding stores that might be selling extra stock or items that were custom-made and returned for some reason.  There are some great bridesmaid dresses out there that would be gorgeous for prom.
• Check out the dry cleaners in your area – formal wear is generally only worn once and is dry clean only.  If someone doesn’t pick up their order, cleaners will generally sell the item dirt cheap.  Spend some time on ebay – there is generally an amazing selection of new or almost new dresses as well as vintage.

If you order online, just be sure and allow time for shipping and to make sure any alterations can be done since you can’t try things on ahead of time.

It’s also a good idea to ask for very accurate measurements from the seller – bust, shoulders, waist, hips and length are especially important and will let you compare a dress to clothes you already own so you can get an idea of how it will fit you before you buy.

If you have the skills (or know someone who does) consider sewing, either from scratch or by refitting a dress you find that you absolutely love and is the right price but doesn’t come in your size.

Even if you aren’t a skilled seamstress, don’t forget that you can take a simple, cheap prom dress with plain lines and add your own embellishments with sequins, lace and all kinds of other trims from a fabric store.

By adding your own special touches or making a great shawl, you can have a really unique and special look that you can be sure won’t match anyone else’s.  This can be a great thing since there’s nothing worse than showing up at prom in the same cookie cutter dress from the mall as somebody else.

When planning for prom, give yourself plenty of time and room for creativity – it is possible to look gorgeous in what started out as a cheap prom dress!  There are lots of possibilities out there for getting a great dress, from petite to plus size, from traditional to young and fun!
