Things You'll Need:

• Yellow Pages
• Money

1. Start by searching for a cheap evening dress online. Check websites like craigslist, eBay and Amazon for prom dresses. Find someone who graduated last year and purchased a beautiful prom dress. Now they no longer have use for the prom evening dress and want to sell it. Speak with your parents about how much they are willing to contribute for your prom evening dress.

2. Second, check the Yellow Pages for stores that specialize in cheap evening dresses. Call the store manager and ask if you can buy or rent a dress for the prom. Make sure you know your specific size, color and style of dress. Ask if you can receive an email with a picture attachment of the dress. Be prepared to negotiate over the price. Expect that a prom dress might be cheaper quality if you are paying a cheaper price.

3. Finally, visit the dress store with your mother or a friend. Try on several prom dresses. Do not make a quick decision about your purchase. Look at yourself in the mirror. Base your decision to buy a cheap evening dress on the quality of the dress. Once you have made a selection, pay for the dress and get a receipt. Have the dress dry cleaned and enjoy the prom.
