Instructions

1. BORROW A GOWN. Although each prom season has specific styles, some dresses are timeless. It is worth asking friends or family members if they have a prom dress they have used. It will save you money, and time. If the gown doesn't fit exactly right, it may still be work using after having a few minor alterations.

2. USE A BRIDESMAID DRESS. Many bridesmaid dresses can be used as prom dresses. If you have a dress in your closet, consider using different accessories, or a shawl or sweater to create your own unique look with the dress.

3. RENT A DRESS. Why should guys be the only ones that can rent items for the prom? Visit One Night Affair at www.onenightaffair.com. This website offers you the ability to rent a dress for your important night.

5. LOOK FOR DISCONTINUED DRESSES. Bridal stores, or stores that sell prom dresses may offer a discount on dresses that are discontinued. Check the store for possible dress options that are in line with your budget.
