Everyone wants to look like an A-list celebrity on prom night - so how do you do it without a celebrity-sized budget? Here are 8 ways to score an inexpensive (or even a free) prom dress without sacrificing an ounce of style.
1. Buy a Vintage Prom Dress
Scour your local vintage shops and you may find a prom dress that's one-of-a-kind and a whole lot cheaper than department store dresses. If the thought of vintage shops makes you nervous, these tips for buying vintage can help you out.
2. Raid Some Closets
Why spend money on a prom dress when someone you know might have a perfectly good one gathering dust somewhere? Raid the closets of your older sister, your college-aged friends, your cousins - even your mom, your aunts and your grandma if you want to score something vintage. If you find a dress they're willing to part with but it doesn't quite fit, save money by letting it out or taking it in yourself.
3. Don't Be Afraid to Discount Shop cheap prom dress
Pretty sure you want to wear a brand-new dress, but don't want to spend all your college savings on it? You can find a super-hot prom dress at trendget.com
4. Research to Find Prom Dresses on Sale
Before running out to the mall and paying retail, do some searches online to find sale prom dresses. Sites like trendget.com have discount dresses, and you can find sale items at Nordstrom and Macy's that they might not carry at your local brick and mortar stores.
5. Make Your Own Prom Dress
You can score an awesome prom dress for cheap if you channel your inner Project Runway contestant and sew one yourself. These free dress patterns aren't too hard to follow.
Don't know how to sew? Make a prom dress out of duct tape. Yes, seriously. Wouldn't you love to show up to prom looking like this?
6. Get a Free Prom Dress
If your family's in a rough spot financially, you might qualify to get a donated dress. Visit Trendget.com to find out where to pick one up. These aren't slim pickings, either - girls from all over the country, including celebrities, donate their old prom dresses. You can potentially land your dream prom dress for free.
7. Bid on Dresses at eBay, Huge discount at Trendget.com
eBay sellers are auctioning off thousands of new and vintage prom dresses for way cheaper than you'll find in stores. Just be sure to check the sellers' feedback ratings and ask questions if something isn't clear from the item descriptions.
8. Buy a Simple Prom Dress & Accessorize
You don't need a $500 prom dress to feel like a princess. Instead, think about getting an affordable, simple dress and accessorize it with a statement necklace and some statement earrings. This simple, chic black lace party dress is only $98.99 at Trendget and looks hot with the right jewelry and heels.
