[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 3/2020, I’d have said $300, plus or minus $100.  It’s special. But not couture special.  You don’t want to peak in high school.

In 4/2021, I say, if your senior is able to have a prom and you can afford it, get her her dream dress.  So many special senior experiences disappeared for my 2020 kid, but at least she got most of a normal year.  This years class was shafted. Make what she has special within your individual budget and don’t worry about over indulging.

Amd I am not a parent to get hung up on indulging kids over status and labels. But you have my blessing to spoil her this year. Whatever that means on your budget. [/quote]

I feel the same way. I actually set a budget of $500-I have a good job but make less than most here-I felt like, this is it, the last thing, they have been through so much! Dd actually found a dress for $229, and I let her have a lot of alterations that I probably would not have splurged on usually. So it came to near $500. Prom is tonight-she's so excited! Dress looks great.
