$3,000.00 for a prom dress?!?!?!?

[Tigger&Belle]

That better be one fancy dress

Maybe it doesn't come off until her parents take it off of her...could be worth the $3000.

Hey, my (nonexistant) daughter can totally have a $3000 prom dress.

If she pays for it herself!

I can't imagine spending that much on a prom dress! Wedding dress, yes, prom dress, no way! I think $100-$300 or so is the norm around here.

AHA!! It's a CHASTITY prom dress... Interesting...

OMG! I would SOOO invest in one of those! Thankfully, my DD is only 9 so I have a while before I have to worry about that.

I didn't even spend 3 grand on my son's car!!! Never would I spend that on an article of clothing!

Drat. I opened this thread hoping something funny to read while I'm waking up. Not that there weren't some funny posts, but I was hoping for a whole hilarious debate with parents defending their daughters' right to spend 3000 for prom dresses.

Maybe we do have a lick of sense around here!

Nope, not around here anyway. DD went to two formal homecoming dances last fall--we paid $70 for TWO dresses. We found some great ones on sale--and she was tickled pink with both of them. She even wore one for the second time last weekend to a quincinera.

I can't imagine dd even asking for a $300 dress much less a $3000 one.

Depends, does the $3000 include the chastity belt, or is that extra?



Sorry $3000 sounds obscene to me. But if they have that kind of money to throw around........can they send me to WDW for 10 days???

Is it made of a precious metal?

Heck, my wedding dress was only $250. First wedding, I bought a prom dress for $65, because it was white and poofy and looked like a wedding dress, lol.

I was thinking if this is what prom dresses cost, I'm VERY happy that I have two boys. I could buy both of them nice tuxes for around 500 bucks for both!

See, maybe there is a market! Who's in? We can start up our own company.

I grew up on Long Island where things tend to be more expensive than most places. We have this dress place called "Estelle's Dressy Dresses" and I paid $70 for my dress. I do believe I was the prettiest girl at the prom.

I love Estelle's. They really have the best dresses for good prices. I had to go there in December for a cocktail dress and I saw some of the most beautiful prom dresses. If only I had somewhere to wear one...

Yeah, even here on LI (where everything seems to be more expensive ) $3000 on a prom dress is NOT the norm. The most I heard of a girl spending was $300. Even that seems like a little much to me. But what do I know, I found my dream dress for $89!
