Silver Prom Dress

New Look’s Silver Prom Dress inspired by Amy Adams Oscar style

The costs of going to the Prom have been steadily rising as more teenage girls seek to channel Hollywood styles and literally put their best fashion foot forward at the prom.  So how much does it now cost to get outfitted to go to the big high school dance known as prom? The Mail Online recently estimated that” the average cost per family was $1,139  USD  per family this year thanks to ‘more elaborate dresses’ and TWO pairs of shoes.”    That’s a lot of money to spend on a teenage dance.  Not to say that prom is not important, but the pressure to look like a Hollywood A-lister seems more intense than ever.   In this climate, New Look, the UK retailer that ships virtually worldwide, have produced a new prom collection.

The New Look collection ranges from semi-formal dresses price well below $50.00 ( 27.99 GBP) to the silver Kendal dress  (see above) by Ruby Prom with a romantic ruffled skirt in  tulle with a beaded bodice in shimmering satin designed to mirror actress Amy Adams” Oscar dress.  The Kendal dress retails for 199 GBP or 310 USD.   If you’re looking for a prom dress, you might want to check out the new collection from New Look online.   If you’re in the US, just allow adequate time for shipping of your order and maybe order two sizes as New Look can sometimes run small.  That why you can return the dress that doesn’t work for you and not be inconvenienced while you wait to get an exchange.  A prom dress for £27.99 or $43.62  us a very good deal in the current expensive prom dress market.  Other chic n’ cheap retailers offering prom dresses include Topshop, H&M, Kohl’s , David’s Bridal and Forever21.
