And on a related note, for anyone reading who has a high school-aged daughter: When the salespeople in the prom dress stores try to convince you that your daughter will wear this (expensive) dress while in college to formals, pref, etc (you know, it's an investment and all), they are lying. Especially if it is floor length.

Your daughter will not want to wear a prom dress in college.

(Probably occurs even less often as bridesmaids wearing their dress again.)

A few years ago, I attended the wedding of one of my sorority sisters - code name JR. She caught the bouquet at my wedding.

Another of my sisters, who was my maid of honor at my wedding (code name JK), wore her MOH dress from my wedding when JR got married.

Evidently, I have good taste.

I love the dress. If you are a guest at a pref. party you have already stood out and they are going to know you are there, so you don't have to worry about standing out. You will look classy-and that is always a good thing.

Lane swerving here a moment, I would totally RENT for prom, or take advantage of the new trend in donated dresses.

But back to the point here (ok, not really) I think we have come across an excellent back door marketing campaign... do you think this dress, 40% off by the way, would work for fill in blank event that we all need? And BOOM, entire overstock is sold out

Oh, hai. I HAVE LIKE $120 OFF IN BANANA COUPONS Y'ALL.

Maybe I don't have to shlep to the outlets and spend them on Gap sweatpants.

eta: I just got the wine red for $18. Hartofsec, I'm un-petite but will let you know if it fits true to their size chart.

My prom dress was a black Betsey Johnson. Wore it many times again at college formals and a cappella performances.
