prom dress....formal wear

agilezebra · 03-01-2008, 09:32 PM

some prom dresses are cute? or there are better deals?

ice-lolly · 03-03-2008, 01:50 AM

I got my grad dress (new) from ebay - it was a really good deal (BCBG for 200, retail was about 600).

Or you can also check evening dresses at bluefly.com.

But then again there's a risk to buying online without being able to trying them on prior to purchase.

Hmm, My cousin bought a prom dress, and she got it for really cheap... I have to say I was surprised that it was a beautiful dress, considering the price was soo generous...It was

yeah, my friend got a BCBG dress from a consignment store for $70 whereas other girls i know bought theirs for $200+. and she got a LOT of compliments on that dress, let me tell you! haha
so it doesn't hurt to check out consignment stores

sorry guys, what's a consignment store?

jkfrocks · 10-17-2008, 07:49 PM

It's a store that sells second-hand items. You leave them (the store) with your clothing and when it sells, you collect a portion of the money.
Something along those lines?

*pinkpeachz · 10-17-2008, 11:13 PM

^ thanks! so i just need to walk around and .....ask if they're selling 2nd hand things?

jkfrocks · 10-18-2008, 12:08 AM

Hm...I don't know. I've never been in one. I know some consignment stores sell both 2nd and new items. I believe it's all laid out like a normal store, maybe they have tags saying what's new/used??
Anyone recommend any consignment stores worth going to?

aznie · 10-18-2008, 12:23 AM

I know the owners there, they're really nice people!

xeriaz · 10-19-2008, 05:26 AM

yea there are a lot of nice consignment stores on main street =)

mfemme · 10-20-2008, 01:10 PM

Hmm, well that store that I mentioned earlier is not a consignment store, there just a really cheap online store. I have another friend that is getting her winter formal dresses there.....oh, and whoever initiated this post for find an inexpensive dress, that have free ground shipping! you can never go wrong with that. I went to an online halloween store, and the shipping cost were unbelievably expensive...

is there any places that might accept Brides Maid gowns/ prom dresses? I have one hanging in my closet that's in pretty good condition to get rid of. The other one i wore is kind of torn @ the end thanks to everyone stepping on it ><

Do consignment stores sell real designer handbags?
B/c I've seen gucci bags @ consignment stores before but I was a bit skeptical...since people are bringing in their items for sale, it could be a fake and we don't know if the store owners authenticate each item.
