Inexpensive Prom Dresses
From LoveToKnow Teens
Inexpensive prom dresses, believe it or not, can look just as or even greater than, their more expensive counterparts!
Reasons for Purchasing Inexpensive Prom Dresses
There are several reasons why inexpensive prom dresses may prove to be a better long-term deal than giving in and purchasing a more expensive dress. Consider the following:
Creativity
These dresses are often more creative, particularly if you decide to make your own. How so? Well first, because you are designing it, you get to let your imagination run wild and add fabric or embellishments that you like. Further, because the dress is a one of a kind (similar to what celebrities wear on the red carpet), there’s no chance that someone else will be wearing the same dress as you.
Additionally, no one knows what works on your body the way you do. This means that if there’s an unusual shade of pink that works perfectly with your skin tone and you can’t find it in the stores, you can just purchase the fabric and just make it yourself.
As a side note, there’s no need to feel bad about making your own dress. In fact, singer Gwen Stefani was well known for designing her own clothes when she was in high school and now she’s an actual designer (as well as a singer), so you never know where your talent may lead!
Only Wear it Once
Why not go with a more inexpensive dress, considering that it’s most likely a look that you’ll only wear once and then just hang in your closet? While it’s true that the memories of prom night will last forever, those memories are usually about having a great time with your friends, not a dress.
Save Money
One of the best reasons to go with an inexpensive dress is the fact that you can save some money. It may not seem like much, but in light of the fact that you’ll probably never wear this dress again, it may be the best thing to do. Besides, whatever money you manage to save can go towards something else that night, like renting a limousine or paying for breakfast in the morning!
Fantastic Dress Finds
Thankfully, just because these dresses are low in price doesn’t mean that they are short on style. Once you view some of the following dresses, you’ll be shocked that you ever wanted to pay full price!
Camden Drive
Not only are most of the dresses at Camden Drive relatively inexpensive, but they are also outrageously creative.
First on the list is a lovely Apple Green Prom Dress (the actual name of the dress) for $74.99. Note that this is a short dress (it falls just above the knee), but it doesn’t look déclassé in any way. In fact, if anything, it’s tres elegant; a claim that's supported by the beautifully encrusted bodice.
Another style worth considering is the Apricot Prom Dress. This look is a winner because it features a slightly poufy hem that almost looks as if it’s floating above the ground. The large bow that accompanies the dress has been modernized for our times in an eye-catching satin finish. Additionally, this is a strapless dress, so you may also want to consider purchasing the accompanying wrap. You can expect to pay $79.99 for this look.
E Dress Me
Besides its name, you’ll love the fun and flirty looks at E dress Me. The styles vary from the very short to the long, but all of them are eye catching and feature intricate details, like sequins that catch the light.
If you prefer a dress without sparkles, they have that as well. Several of the dresses, from a fire-engine, ruffled red number, to the decadent chocolate brown ensemble, make the fashion cut without all the glitter. Prices range from $75.00 to $99.00.
Christina Gowns
Christina Gowns not only offers prom dresses at $99.00 or less, but they also offer a variety of looks for different occasions, like that of Homecoming. This website is worth visiting because the selection of dresses is enormous, and this will give you plenty of styles to choose from.
Putting It All Together
The most important thing to remember about going the inexpensive route is that there is no reason why your sense of style needs to suffer- it doesn’t. Take your time; begin the search early, and comparison shop until you find a dress you'll fall head over heels for!
