Looking to spend less than $100 for Prom?
I wasn’t happy when my mom told me that I couldn’t have the dress I wanted for prom last year. In fact, I ended up throwing a fit, which was embarrassing. Mom told me I had $150 to spend, and I thought it was impossible, but luckily I went on the web ’cause my friend Michelle told me that I could even find prom dresses under $100.
Now, I’m not overweight, and I thought I was going to have to find some ugly dress made for plus size girls, but thankfully, no. Not to be rude, but I wanted a nice looking dress and not some splotchy colored reject from 5 years ago. I have to look good for my boyfriend, right? Some of the places I looked had all the cool dresses for $200 and up, and I was getting discouraged, when I found a couple of sites with under $100 prom dresses.
I ended up choosing a sheer, frilly-looking thing in February of last year, and when I went to order it, the company said it was sold out! Now I was really getting depressed and desperate. I begged my mom to up my limit to $200, but she refused, telling me that my hair, limo, and all that stuff would probably cost $500 or more with everything. Even though I promised her I’d work it off, I don’t think she was listening, and stuck me to my budget.
It took another week of searching the stores and looking online, and I finally figured out that I needed to call the companies and check on the specific dresses I was looking to buy to see if they were in stock. At the end, I found another nice one that came in just below what I was able to afford, and I snatched it up in mid February. I can’t believe that girls buy these dresses so early on! I mean, prom isn’t even until April here.
Anyway, it turns out that I ended up looking pretty hot in my dress, I must say. My mom was happy, my dad was oblivious, and compared to a couple of my friends, I actually ended up saving about 300 bucks by looking for prom dresses under $100 and sticking to my guns – well, actually my mom’s pocketbook guns.
Peace out, girls! Enjoy prom. I’m going to senior prom this year, and I’m cool with my mom’s same restrictions, ’cause I know I can find the dress I want.
Hi, I’m Aubrey, and I was so thankful to save money on my junior prom dress, I decided to help give other girls advice on finding prom dresses under $100 so they can save money, too.
