Personal Shopper: Adult Prom

Reader Request

My friends and I have tickets to a charity fundraiser in May. The theme is Adult Prom and the dress code is "festive black tie." We've decided that we're going to go all out and wear evening gowns, but now I need your help. I've got about $300, maybe $350 to spend, and that includes the gown, shoes and accessories. All the nice gowns that I see are like $500. Do you have any suggestions?

Yup - rent it! You can rent a designer gown from Rent the Runway for way less than it would cost to buy! If you're not into that idea, I've found some affordable gowns here: 1/2/3/4/5/6, but none are as nice as this red Halston Heritage.

Gown $125 (to rent) // Shoes $28 // Clutch $36 // Bracelet $28 // Earrings $22
