Prom Buzz!Can you believe we’ve already had our ears buzzing with prom dress talk?
The main event for most teens usually revolves around the dress, and teen chat rooms are full of serious contemplation about whether to buy new or go vintage.
We could go either way, but here are a couple “new” retailers just to get things going.
For the lavish:
BCBG Max Azria – When you’re lucky enough to have a bigger budget (bless mom and dad for that one!), this shop has the crème de la crème of gorgeous gowns.
TIP: One heck of a sale rack. If you can rock a last season frock, save the bucks for some smoking shoes!
For the love of online shopping:
www.bestpromdresses.com – This site has it all, including replica dresses worn by your fave celebs in your fave movies. With the loonie as strong as it is, now might be the time to get that dream dress without the nightmare price tag.
TIP: Take your measurements and, when in doubt, email customer service before buying anything.
