How to Make Sure You Don't Wear the Same Prom Dress as Someone Else

One Special Night to Be the One and Only Special Girl

For many seniors in high school, especially the girls, the biggest activity they look forward to during their last year in high school besides Graduation is Prom Night. It's the mother of all dress up parties and it is the night to put on the most glamourous dress and shoes, and get hair and make-up done. If a girl loves dressing up and being girly, Prom night is every girls' dream. In fact, girls look forward to this night all year long and go as far as to start shopping for the perfect dress months in advance. Hence, one can only imagine the disappointment if the ultimate nightmare occurs - seeing another girl wearing the exact same dress at Prom!

To avoid this, a good place to look for one of a kind dresses is at vintage shops...it can be surprising the number of decent quality dresses available at cheap prices. Large chain vintage stores such as Cross Roads and Buffalo Exchange can be found in larger cities or if you live near Los Angeles, there are various other vintage stores that carry a great selection of dresses such as the very popular Wasteland on Melrose Avenue. Many vintage stores carry dresses (as well as shoes and accessories) by popular brand names, so you can wear designer, one of a kind dresses for a fraction of the price. And because they are inexpensive, more money can be spent on matching shoes, jewelry, and handbags.
