I guess it is true that girls from really well-to-do families can dress like a million bucks on the night of their high school prom. But the rest of us must make do with the financial resources that we have at our disposal — and that leaves out the purchase of a designer garment. For the rest of us, discount prom dresses are the way to go — they don't have to be something that was fashionable 10 years ago, they might be a factory second or an altered garment that was never paid for — there are many options to choose from, you just have to do a little digging.
