[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this mom is asking for stores that are slightly nicer than Target?  It sounds like she saved for awhile for a nicer dress but OP, if you give us your price range we can help you better.

I've literally found $100+ reduced to $15 at Macy's - that takes luck and time - but that's where I'd start.  BTW SES isn't that relevant here - I don't like spending money on things the kid is going to wear once or twice.[/quote]

Agree with this.  In college, I used to go thrifting for fun.  My son's recent prom date had a beautiful and unusual dress that she admitted to thrifting when I asked.  Very impressed with her style.  If you are feeling budget-constrained, think about the possibilities of teaching your daughter how to be ecologically-friendly and financially prudent.  I looked at Thredup not long ago and the prices looked like it was possible to take some risks there, too.[/quote]

Did you not read OPs post?? She always thrifts and wants to splurge here. She doesn’t need a schoolmarm-ish lecture about how to teach her daughter to be “ecologically friendly and financially prudent.”[/quote]

It wasn't meant to be a lecture.  Just encouragement to buck the system.  Single use dresses are often among the easiest things to find.  Sorry OP, I didn't mean to give offense.  Poster above, suggest you direct your energy away from attacking other posters.[/quote]
