They do.

How much did you spend on the first one?

Of course not. If it fits they will wear it again.

Definitely a new dress. If your office had a fancy gala once a year, you wouldn't wear the same dress 2 years in a row, so why would you expect your daughter to do the same? If she can trade with a friend, great. If not, give her a budget and let her go shopping for a new dress

I was also going to suggest trading with a friend. Otherwise, yes to a new dress.

Is it possible to dye or alter it to make it look fresh?

No. New one.

I mean if you can afford it, you get a new dress.
But if budget is tight then just tell her no new dress. Tbh though, if you start looking now, you can thrift a great dress for prom without spending a ton of money because —as you pointed out—they only really wear them once.
Then she’ll have two that she can take to college to wear to a formal event there if something comes up.

Can they trade either a friend?

IF DD prom dress fix perfectly from last year, will you still buy a new dress? Only way someone will know its the same one is if they check Tiktok or insta. It was only wear once
