Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a prom dress but can't seem to find what I want after hours of online searching - anyone know of any dresses that might be similar to what I'm looking for?
I know I'm being picky, but there's got to be a dress out of the millions out there that match my needs?
I want it to be a maxi dress (but I'm quite short - 5'2") with a little bit of embellishment/glitter somewhere Under £100 Any colour but black/brown/grey/green Not from one of those random american stores where you have to order online/not reliable Without a low neckline With straps of some sort - i.e. not one without anything on shoulders
Why don't you design it yourself and get it sewn from a tailor? It's cheaper, thats what I done, I wanted a long sleeved off the shoulder long prom dress, couldn't find exactly what I wanted anywhere so I bought the colour material I wanted & seperate sequins and stuff, and got it made for under £100, it came out good

The only things I'll say about coast is that the dresses are fairly long (I'm 5"6' and needed 3.5-4" heels to wear with the dress to avoid it having to be taken up. I'm also usually an 8-10 and the size 6 was just about right, it was a tiny bit loose but nothing to worry about).

Anyway hope this helped a little
I got mine from Jane norman
How about looking in TK maxx? My friend is quite short and she got a blue one from there and it is really nice! They also do it it pink. It was a halterneck and had jewels in a line under the bust.
I know it's an order online one, but it's based in the UK. Plus there's a sale on and there are some gorgeous dresses which no one else will be wearing, most importantly.
Have you tried eBay? I know some people are a bit suspicious of it but I got a really nice Lipsy dress on there for my leaver's ball for £10. If you don't want anything someone's worn before there are a lot of things that are brand new or sold by shops through eBay.
Under the 'buy it now' section there are a lot of different ones which are very nice, and you can tell if they are reliable based on the number in brackets next to the seller's name - this is the number of positive feedbacks they've had.
The seller has a really high feedback score and eBay has recognised them as a top-rated seller. They say they also have a made to measure service available which could be good if you're not sure if a maxi dress would be too long for you.
Have a browse I'd definitely recommend eBay, you can get some really nice stuff.
Well,I feel cheap..my prom dress is a lovely long pink thing for 20 quid from Tesco..I wasn't shopping there with the intention of getting my prom dress there,but ahwell. I think its gorgeous I'll just have to tell people 'It's Versace/Chanel/other expensive brand dahh-ling'

I didn't even know this site existed until now! (Slightly hijacking OP's thread here but thanks )
