Good Will CAN have plenty of potentially-cute dresses. There's NO reason to feel embarassed, plus, no girl's gonna KNOW you got your dress from there, and even if they do, if they're TRULY your friend, they'll tell ya you look ah-mazing!

Also, lots of stores in the mall have gorgeous dresses for inexpensive prices. The big department stores, I mean. Like, Penney's or Strawbridge's, Macy's, etc.

Since you'e a freshman, see if you can maybe get a nightly-babysitting job to earn some money for your dress. PLUS, your parents will be proud of you for taking a stand & being responsible AND you can buy a fabulous, fashionable dress. If you choose this option, you make out in every way possible!! <3

alot of department stores have alot of sales on dresses. i usually get mine at dillards for like 25-50 dollars, when they are usually 150-200. you still get the high end nice dress, at a good price. :)

Why don't you try working a bit at a place, like go around this week and offer to do chores for other people, such as mowing the lawn or whatever else needs to be done. Elderly people enjoy this a lot. Then, the money you raise is yours, and you can use it to buy a dress. That way, you will not have to use family money.
Talk about it with your parents, and if you need any other advice, feel free to drop one into the inbox! :)

don't worry many people have these moments. Ask you mom if you can go and ask her if she wants to make a price range so when you go you dont even have to bother with the dresses that are too expensive. and you can always go with your firends and have fun trying things on and not buy anything, me and my friends do that all the time when we are broke! lots of luck! xoxo tara (P.S. i am kinda new at this so can you give me feedback- thanxs!)

What you could do, is go looking with them but tell them that you're going to go actually buy the dress you find with your mom. Then you can just go buy it with your mom. And you don't really have to tell you friends where you got it. Sorry I couldn't help much, but I thought you might like the idea. &hearts;//ALMA

Go with your friends and look for dresses but just don't buy one. Then, next weekend or whatever go out with your mom and get a dress where she wants you to get one. Tell your friends that you saw it and fell in love with it. They don't need to know where you got it. Don't spend too much money on a dress that you're only going to wear once if your family can't afford it.
