Looking for a Straight or Mermaid Style Prom Dress

I graduated high school last year, but since the boyfriend is a year younger, I have one more prom to attend. I'm looking for an inexpensive prom dress, preferably not poofy. I'd rather have a straighter dress or even a mermaid style. I'm a size 4.

I don't know if you're still looking, but there's a black mermaid style dress listed for $20 on FormalXchange.com. It's a halter top with an open back, size small, about 4/6. Check it out.

I would try a thrift store or Goodwill. There are also higher end "gently used" second hand stores out there. My daughter got all her prom dresses at a local one of these and the most we ever spent was $42.00, the least senior prom $12.00!

I live in Illinois too and have recently read about prom-dress re-sales through local high schools and in clothing resale shops. I'll bet you can find something similar near you if you call around!

Can you sew? Straight style evening gowns seem to be the style this year and many are rated easy/simple in difficulty.
