    Default Dd Prom Gown won on Ebay!

    Dd is junior and not very girly-girl. We finally found a gown she liked on ebay. Her friends paid over $300 average for theirs.
    My daughter's is absolutely gorgeous and $29.99 with shipping and handling. Here is the link!

    We are both sooooo tickled!

    That is wonderful,I just bought my 14th dress in 6 years, for my daughters. I defintely paid $400 each for theirs. I have been lucky though, I have sold all of them but about 4. DD#2 was on Homecoming COurt this past fall, and we had to buy a fancy dress, a pant suit, and another dress for a Homecoming function, rent a fancy car, get her down 3 different times. It was ridiculous!! You are a very smart woman to be able to purchase a dress for that price. Great job!!! I am sure that your daughter is beautiful and will look pretty, I hope she has a good time.

    Lovely! I went to prom twice in high school -- once in Grade 10 with my bf's best friend, and then to my own in Grade 12. Both times my dress was borrowed, my purses were handmade, and my shoes were the only thing I had to fuss about.

    Very pretty dress, I love the beadwork on it. I will have to remember to watch ebay for dresses when my girls start needing formal dresses.

    It's a pretty dress!

    Y'all don't forget that if your daughters are interested in sorority life in college, they should hang on to their prom dresses! There are tons of formals, and even if they aren't in a sorority, they may date a guy in a fraternity and need a formal dress for those occasions!
