2006 Prom Dress… The New 2007?
By Francis Sinclair

Prom is a night that most high school juniors and seniors will treasure throughout their lifetime. Juniors and seniors start planning for prom night at the beginning of the school year, with tension running ever higher as the big night arrives.

One of the biggest decisions facing teen girls is finding the right prom dress. (Some girls are even more concerned about their dress than they are about their dates--after all, a date can be selected in a minute but finding the perfect dress can take weeks!)

Making the Best Out of a 2006 Prom Dress

Some girls hold fashion high on their list of priorities. They consistently seek out the newest styles and trends, which means that their pocketbooks (or more likely, their parents' pocketbooks) can take a real beating during prom season. Before your prom- goer makes a grab for the 2007 inventory, however, take a realistic look through the bargain racks at the 2006 prom dresses. Most dresses and styles vary only slightly from year to year. If your daughter doesn't let the secret slip, it's highly unlikely anyone will notice that her dress is a year old. Meanwhile, you can save a few pennies and still send your princess off to the prom looking like a model.

There are two options for buying a 2006 prom dress. The first one is to find a retailer that was unable to sell their 2006 prom dresses. You will probably find the 2006 prom dresses on the bargain racks with significantly reduced prices.

The second option is finding a lightly used prom dress from 2006. Consider purchasing from an online auction site. Buying from the local thrift store should probably be avoided in this case, as your daughter would be embarrassed to accidentally come face to face with the dress's original owner.

Other Advantages of a 2006 Prom Dress

Besides cutting costs, buying a 2006 prom dress has some other advantages as well. For one thing, your daughter will not need to worry about showing up in exactly the same gown as someone else (a fashion tragedy only women and girls can fully appreciate). Furthermore, you and your daughter can use the money saved on the prom dress to buy some eye-catching jewelry or to cover the cost of an appointment at the nicest beauty salon in town. There is no reason why buying a 2006 prom dress should be viewed as second best. It actually has many advantages.
