$550 Prom Dress

April 15th, 2011 at 10:26 pm

What would you pay for a Senior Prom dress?

My boss is buying a $550 for his DD! (Yes, I am sucking in breath as I type that) And, yeah you all remember he's the one with money troubles and upcoming bankrupcy. I guess to be fair it's not up to him; his wife and DD made the decision. Rolleyes

My co-worker and I think that is a crazy amount. Especialy when you search prom dresses online and can find really cute ones for $40-$100.

I can rememeber shopping for formal dresses at discount or outlet shops. I had beautiful dresses always for less than $100. I never felt deprived.

Thank you to my Mom for never over induldging me and teaching me where to shop!

I wonder what sort of lesson will their DD learn from this?

    My wedding dress cost that (with alterations), albeit sixteen years ago, but still. I can't even imagine paying that for a prom dress. Of course I didn't even pay for my prom dress. I used my sister's and all I paid for was a pair of ballet flats.

    Can't believe it even for a wedding dress! I know people do pay that, but I think it is very unreasonable for one event. My wedding dress was $295, fifteen years ago.

    Did you see the article about the $14,000 diamond studded prom dress? Maybe your boss's wife and DD didn't see that one for sale! :-) Seriously, I agree with you, it is ridiculous what is spent on prom -- so many will spend a huge amount of money for the clothes, the limo, the party. For what? Do the kids have any more fun than if they had dressed up in what we used to call our "Sunday best" and ate and danced in the gym or nice hall?
