[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are totally unreasonable. I went to prom in 1993 and my dress was $180 and we were middle class. $60!8: absurdly cheap. [/quote] Op's budget is not unreasonable. Clothing has gotten cheaper as it has gotten more offshored. A lot of the cost of fancy dresses is in the detailing. That is exactly where low cost of labor drives retail cost decreases. To the OP, look at the recent thread in the Beauty and Fashion forum about "HoCo" dresses. There were some pretty dresses on ThredUp for as little as $10. You could get 3-6 dresses for the price of 1 in your budget. I usually buy $100-$200 winter coats for my kids. Last year my kid found one at Forever 21 for $25. It worked great. Time not to be a snob. [/quote]
