The cheapest boutique to buy a prom dress is Cache, located in West Town Mall. Their boutique offers selections for around $250, but you have to be careful while in the store because some of dresses can go for as much as $550.
The next boutique is The Gilded Gown off Chapman Hwy. This store is at least 30 minutes away, but has an excellent selection and an average price of $300 per dress; still, some of their dresses can go for almost $600. The next two boutiques have an average price of $400 a dress. Bella Boutique is located on Bearden Hill and Formal Approach is located in Jefferson City, about 45 minutes away.
The cheapest website to order a prom dress is www.dressitnow.com for $150. The next is www.serendipityprom.com with an average price of $250 per dress. The final website is www.promgirl.com with an average of $350 per dress.
There are several pros to ordering dresses online, such as finding the dress of your dreams for the exact size and cheaper price.
However, the dress you order may be made of cheap fabric that tears easily. Also, the dress may not fit and returning it to get a different size may turn into a nightmare. Another thing is some websites are scams. When shopping online for dresses always make sure the site is secure.
These are the cheapest boutiques and websites to get prom dresses; however, the cheapest stores are your local department stores that offer several prices that will fit your budget.
