I'm with her. That seems excessively high. You can RENT a very nice dress for the night online. They send you 2 sizes just in case. Much cheaper option. When I went and bought myself a floor length evening gown the other day, it was only $89. I would compare the price of my prom dress to what you're finding, but seeing as that was sooooo long ago (now that I think of it), I'll refrain.TeacupsAndToning wrote: »When I graduated (a while ago) there were dresses that cost $700.00 - it just depended on where you looked. Mine was $100.00.
We were at a formal gown boutique. Didn’t buy anything. We spent $400 last year and I thought that was high but was real sticker shocked today.
I didn't *kitten* so much about the gown but all the damn extras.. a heap of them wanted a stretch limo so at least the cost of that was shared, then hair, makeup , nails, shoes, purse, earrings.. geez I thought it would never end.1 -

Deep red. She has the skin of Snow White and it looks so good on her. It’s her last prom so I want it to be special but she’s killing me.
Sounds beautiful.. my last daughter went with deep burgundy and she's pale also, looked great.
They only got one formal each thank god.0 -

You Americans have too many proms and dances.
I had one prom when I was graduating high school. Other than that I think I only attended two dances.
I only attended homecoming and prom my senior year. The big expense for my parents was my Quinces (Spanish version of sweet 16 but at 15 years old). I didn't even really want the party but my mom did!0 -

That's all crazy...
Not sure if we're going to be the type of parents that we had, and make them get a job and pay for that *kitten* themselves...
Probably not, but they will need to do something to earn it, make them volunteer somewhere or do something1 -

Lol don’t you love coming from a cultural family!!
Oh yes! I currently live in an area that's not nearly as culturally diverse. It's interesting trying to explain things from where and how I grew up and the traditions. I have gotten a lot of comments. Makes me seem exotic to some people (although I don't consider myself to be ) 1 -

People who accuse you of "trolling" (made up idiotic Americanism) because they disagree with your ideas, clearly they're concerned their views are wrong if they feel the need to censor someone else.
This is exactly why I don't normally bother with forums, they're pointless unless you want your views heard and challenged.

Thinking about the time we met Halsey at the hotel during Lollapalooza and I was the only one who knew who she was because she wasn’t performing and I said I was going to follow her on twitter and she said she was going to follow me back and she didn’t and oh now I know where my abandonment issues come from cool cool4
