Just back from dress shopping with my 13 year old for her “graduation” outfit thus I thought it timely to share some Semi-Formal, Prom, Grad Fashion Tips. Check out these cost-saving tips…
Semi-Formal, Prom, Grad Fashion Tips
- Sleek Cutout Maxi Dress CAD $23.80, Forever 21
- Power Brunch Flounce Dress CAD $23.80, Forever 21
- Pleated dress $19.95, H & M
- Dress in a lyocell blend $24.95, H & M
- BELTED HI-LO DRESS $20.00, Urban Planet
- EYELET FLARE TANK DRESS $20.00, Urban Planet
Yes, I do look at price. Not being cheap but she will grow out of this dress by next season. Do I want to invest a fortune in a grad dress? No thanks. Visa Canada recently released a survey showing thrifty Canadians spend 26% less than Americans on Prom (so I’m not alone in my prom planning philosophies).
I also look at functionality and fashion. Can she dress it up or dress it down? Can she wear it again? (we do have a few weddings coming up).
the link didn’t work for me – maybe it’s just me though…

The link didn’t work for me either but from your write up I like that it can track spending . My daughter is graduating this year and it has been a bit bumpy with what she wants and what we can afford and deciding what things I pay for and what she should pay for as she wants a lot of things that are definitely extras so we have been muddling our way through but I don’t think she has realised how much it all adds up to.
took the link out – perhaps try cutting and pasting http://www.practicalmoneyskills.ca/prom – it’s a good app for prom

I’ve always thought it was crazy how much money is spent on prom/grad now. When I graduated back in the 90’s, I bought my dress at a vintage store for $25 lol! I love that this app helps teens and parents think about ways to cut costs and help set priorities.
