If you need a cocktail dress for a special occasion, you may not want to spend a lot of money on formal attire. In this case, you should buy a cheap cocktail dress that still looks like you spent as much as a car payment on it. Read on to learn how to buy cheap cocktail dresses.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Look for seasonal sales. During prom and wedding season, you'll find cocktail dresses at very high prices. Instead, shop for cheap cocktail dresses in the summer or fall after the formal season has ended.

  2. Step 2

    Get cheap cocktail dresses online. You can find cocktail dresses for $50 on the Fifty Dollars Formal website. Many of the dresses carry name brands. Another place to find low priced cocktail dresses is through Discount DressUp.

  3. Step 3

    Purchase used cocktail dresses. You can usually find used designer cocktail dresses on the cheap. Vicki's Secret sells used formal dresses on consignment from most major designers.

  4. Step 4

    Hit the thrift shops. Although you may have certain prejudices against a thrift shop, you may be surprised at many of the superior clothing offers you can find there. Go through the racks to find beautiful and cheap cocktail dresses.

Tips & Warnings
  • Instead of buying cocktail dresses, you can rent designer dresses cheaply. At Closet Elite, you pay a low price to receive a rented cocktail dress for your event. Wear the dress and then return it to the company in the included prepaid mailer.
