When should I order my prom dress?

While many agree that January and February are prime months for starting to browse stores for your prom dress, March is a good time to start shopping seriously. Most shops will have released their newest prom dress collections by now, and by ordering now, you'll have enough time to try on the dress once it arrives and get it tailored or order a back-up dress with enough time to spare. Ideally, you would have your dress at least a week before prom to make sure that it fits and you're comfortable in it. This will give you enough time to take it to a seamstress, too. But if life has gotten in the way or just can't seem to make a decision, these sites have fast shipping so you can receive your dress in time for prom (even if it's a day before).

What are the best places to buy a prom dress online?

While there are many shops that carry suitable prom dresses online, some shops that currently carry the trendiest and most stylish collections are Windsor, Lulus, Showpo, Rent The Runway, Revolve, Amazon, Free People, Princess Polly, Macy's, and Bloomingdale's.

Is it worth it to buy an expensive prom dress?

When you're deciding how much to spend on your prom dress, it's worth considering that you will likely not wear the dress very often after prom night. At the same time, because prom only happens once for most people, it's a special occasion that is worth splurging on (just think of all the pictures). If you want to score your dream dress without doing too much damage on your wallet, you may want to check out services like Rent The Runway.
