I just was in an upscale thrift shop and if I had been looking for a prom dress, there were several long formal gowns there for $20! Remember there are often deals on formal dresses! Some are new from bridesmaids' overstock at Bridal Shops and if the others have been worn, it's hard to tell!
I also ran into a prom site that has lots of ads and links, but also shows you how to do your own up-dos.
Years down the road you will wonder why you thought the prom would be a big deal, so get an inexpensive dress (or borrow one). Don't spend a lot, you only wear it once. The prom is a lot of hype. It's just a dance. Fix your hair nice, wear makeup & don't stress too much. If you don't find a date, no big deal. So many better things in life lie ahead -- you'll see!
Savers & Value Village are my favorite places to find prom stuff. i live in a fairly "under-Waged" area and I have helped outfit many a prom over the past few years from these thrift stores! Love them! Mondays are dollar days with a certain color tag is only a dollar, got a wedding gown that way, had to spot clean but it was wonderful!!
