Hi Ya'll!! I'm home & getting back into the swing of things!!
Kait & the boy are going to prom together in April so first thing today she had me out looking. I was shocked @ how much dresses cost these days... Pretty much every thing we saw was around $300.00. I will show ya one we looked at ( she didnt choose this one so I'll post it, we don't want the boy seeing it!!)
We didn't have it laced up tight so its a little poofy round the middle,
but it was a beautiful dress...
This is another one that she didn't try on but really likes..
We may go back tomorrow so that she can try it on, I really liked this!!.
The dress shop here
asked her which school's prom she's going to because she wont
sell the same dress to more than one girl going to that prom...
We thought that was a great idea!!!
Tonight they are having a formal dress show, so
she and I are going to look at more dresses!! Anyone wanna join us?
( I could sure use the help!!)
I'll take pics and show them on here tomorrow!
So are any of you getting ready for prom, we can chat!!
IM NOT READY for my baby to go.......
Okay, I better git so I can check & see what you
have all been up to...
I'll be back!!

$300!! Yikes. I think I paid somewhere around $180-200 for my senior prom dress and that was on the high end (I managed to save up for it from my part-time job at TJ Maxx).
Do they still only sell one dress per school at the shop? At least that's what they did with us, that way you stood a good chance of being the only girl wearing the dress (unless someone went to another store to get it, too).
yikes is right it's cheaper at david's bridial really if you have one look there they have awesome ones and are reasonably cheaper any bridial shop ... awesom selections after all a brid maid need to look fit and pretty i so love the second one... pretty..
god luck and have fun with this I was so excited to attend my prom I wore all balck causal I know I loved it it was a chiffron black flowing dress pretty with a scarf and the gloves .. looked like I walked in the the 1950 pretty ...
enjo hope it is not so hetic for you..I was a easy child went looked three store limit and bam in teh bridial store they had it and we brought it.. they even matched my shoe color there as well.. cool ..
hugs have fun
Oh the glory and the horror of those days!! Hope you find the right dress!
The dress shop where I grew up did the same thing with the dresses. They did not want two girls wearing the same dress.
I paid $89 for my prom dress. I had to pay for it myself because my parents couldn't afford to buy me one. It was pretty but nothing fancy.
I hope she finds the perfect dress.
How fun...shopping for beautiful dresses. Can't wait to see which one she chooses.
Wow dresses are super expensive now... Thank you for stopping by my blog :)
I love that one in the picture with the dots!! So beautiful! But I know she will be beautiful in whatever she chooses! It looks like so much fun!! (since it's not my girls..lol)
I hope you two have lots of fun tonight and I can't wait to see some pics! I would sure come with ya if I was closer! Sorry I can't chat with you about prom, but I do know who I'll be getting advice from down the road! Love ya girl!!

How fun for her!! Can't wait to see the final pick!!!
Ok, have you checked EBAY? We got daughter's for $87.00 last year...from Great Britain!!! That included the shipping! My very budget minded daughter got her dress at Ross Dress for Less for $25.00....we found the same dress at Dillard's for $100.00!!! Also, consignment.....no one wears their price tags on their dresses...so, who knows what you spend?
Dresses, proms, and boys! Oh My!
Hope you find a dress she likes and not to spendy as she will need to tan, jewels to go with the dress oh and an up-do.
Good Luck to you as you go grey. Thank Goodness for hair dye........LOL
Love that store owner for not selling the same dress, where do you live? Hollywood? It's so akward when two girls wear the same thing. I can't believe dresses are so much. I've heard the cost of prom for boys and girls is outrageous now days.
WOW, MAKES ME FEEL REALLY OLD..sHE WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL LAST TIME I SAW HER IN PERSON.. AMAZING HOW QUICKLY THEY GROW UP. SHE IS BEEAUTIFUL!! SHE COULD WEAR A GUNNY SACK AND STILL KNOCK EM DEAD!!
OOOOO I love the second one. It's totally adorable! I remember those days. I had a sophomore, a junior and a senior in highschool at the same time!! Prom night at our house required a second mortgage!!!
I LOVE the polka dot dress. It's so cute!!!
LOVE those dresses! So fun!
300 dollars... wowzer.... that seems like a ton for a dress that will get worn one night.. but its the memories... ur such a great mom! going back for the fashion show... mom props to you!
I love that polka dotted one!!!
Oh my... it's been years since buying a prom dress. I think mine was 49.00!
Oh the memories...
Love the dresses though. Can't wait to see more!
LOVE the Polka Dot one!!! Just love it! Prom been there done that, hopefully wont do that for another year. :)
$300 holy moly, I'll need a second job when my girl gets older, ha!
I love prom nights.!! Both prom dresses are marvelous. First on is my favorite.
