[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dress was $375 in 1992. I think it really depends. I am not looking at name brands for show but if it’s the perfect dress and it’s her only dance,[b] I would pay close to $1000[/b]. [/quote]

Are you insane?[/quote]i

WOW. That is  a rude comment. If a person makes  $100 a day/hour and wants to spend that on their child, fine. if someone else want to spend their $1000 daily/hourly wage on their kid that is fine too. we all have different budgets, priorities, values, expenses, salaries, etc. it’s all relative.

No it’s not all relative. It’s gluttonous. A normal family doesn’t spend $1,000 on a prom dress for a high school kid. Ridiculous. [/quote]

I taught at a private school in the early 2000's, and we had middle schoolers whose daily outfits cost more than that (one of our substitute teachers was a part-time buyer for Saks, and add up the value of the outfit was an entertaining game on days she worked). And yes, we thought it was crazy, but people's definition of normal varies widely.[/quote]
