I religiously watch all of Mia's videos despite being a guy and not having any practical use for the advice in them. What can I say, I just love her content))
In my country, we don't have a prom as well but we do have a bunch of parties throughout the year hahhadh (most are not in the school and none have any adults overseeing and there's alcohol so you will see drunk kids) you can't dress like this to them tho, they would make fun of you (probably), def not "black tie" events
Yes ! If you go back to when she got married she made SOOOO many things for her wedding !!! I think it was some time early last year or maybe late 22? But she DIYd so much stuff for her wedding I’m sure you would find a lot of it helpful! Congrats!!
Mia ! I’m sorry my life has gotten busy and i have not been watching as often I’m a subscriber since 2019 and just want to say i notice all the details and little things that take a lot of time to edit and i thank you for them bc it makes it so fun to watch as well as the detailed reviews it’s why you’re the only UA-camr i still watch much love to you 🩷🩷🩷
I would love to see you try some of Holy Clothing's pieces. They have beautiful dresses, Renaissance, fairy looking pieces, with lace, corsets, and embroidery. I bought a dress from them to wear to my niece's wedding, really pretty.
Love love these videos and all of Mia’s videos 😁💗 I wish there was a little behind the scenes of the thrifting process also, I think that would be a fun addition 🥰
i thrifted my prom dress in 2013 for $25! and it was the same silhouette as the first dress, but it had a hot pink beading. i got it altered for $25 to fit a little better. i felt like jessica rabbit. i loved it. hahhaha i’ve always been a fan of a deal.
Y'all can totally find amazing dresses at thrift stores! Granted it's hit or miss, but I did find ALL of my high school formal dresses at thrift stores. Except senior prom but my friend gave me hers so.
I really loved my junior prom. It was masquerade themed and now all I want is to go to a masquerade party but there are none here. I also like to thrift specifically during Halloween since I like to cosplay.
The green one reminds me of tinker bell and my bff loves tinker bell and I’m currently trying to make her a green dress ( it’s their favorite color) so they can match me and another bestie cause we’re the powerpuff girls ❤
I wish they had a place boys could thrift suits. For example- renting a suit is around $180 in my small town area. I only have ONE son. Imagine a family that has 2 or more? $180 for the cheapest suit and you are RENTING for one night. How many formals a year are there? So I found a place that had a semi-decent suit for $300 to buy. Boys grow a lot in high school, so I made sure it was slightly bigger in shoulders and when they took in the pant length I requested the no cut method, so they could let it back down as he grew taller. Little things. Alterations are cheap. Always go a little bigger, have them no cut alter, and then you can let it oit as the grow.
My prom dress was horrible. It was a two piece just thrown together cuz we couldn’t afford anything and it was last minute. But my younger sisters had their dresses custom made.
I wasn’t going to go to my prom (back eight years ago lol😂) cause I’m not that kind of person, as an “emo” alternative person that’s not into parties, but I’m grateful to my best friend who made me go in the end, I had the most fun with him and my other best friend, I miss the dress and the heels I got, (a black dress with red heels) if it had been up to me (I’ve moved countries many times) I would have kept it for sure 🥹 Seeing these videos makes me so nostalgic🥲♥️
You can always dress like you're going to one! I literary wear formal clothes while i do sports with my Longboard, i do get many peoples laughing at me and such, but that's reflection of frustation
I was a lifeguard at a waterpark in high school and we had “lifeguard awards” and were nominated for things like: best whistle, most punctual, quickest dummy saves, best laugh…. etc. We used to re-wear our prom dresses with crocs (because crocs were apart of our regular uniform) to the awards just so we could have fun & rewear the dress that you usually only wear one time. The guys all wore tuxedos too. It was a good time.
I'm a lifeguard as well and my pool does the "Willlie" awards which is a pun on the name of the pool, and the like 'mvp' LG of the summer gets the "Wet Willie" lol. Its very fun. everyone else gets their own personal willie and its very fun and we go swimming after.
Omg I was a lifeguard, but we didn’t do awards like that, but we had lifeguard Olympics where the different crews competed to see who would get 1st-4th place. It always had a theme though so maybe one year they would do something like that. There were themes like marvel vs dc, Disney, avatar, and it was always a lot of fun. It was basically a competitive in service.
I grew up in a thrift store!! My mom started it when I was 5 and she ran it until she passed so over 40 years! Generations grew up in her store, both shopping and bringing in clothes to sell. We news of her death (wreck, loooong story) hit my hometown, people wrote notes and memories all over the windows of her store 💖. She was posthumously awarded the state good neighbor award. I grew up the best dressed kid in school. Also, fluffy girls, I am a fluffer and yes, there isn’t as much, but there are treasures out there!!
How wonderful and a lovely tribute to your Mum. It says a lot about a person when a whole town reaches out to show their respects. Thank you for sharing 💙🙏🏻💙
Mia thrifting wedding dresses would be such a good idea considering how expensive they are for just one day. Maybe even thrifting possible bridesmaid dresses too🖤
I'm in the same situation and I need tips on how to thrift because I love the idea and possibility of trying "vintage" or styles that are not just... trendy ( trends are unflattering for me lol) but more timeless and beautiful!
My sister has a stuning wedding dress, i wish she would sell it for someone to use it for something better, sister keeps it on the top of my closet, in the bag, all curled XD it was like 3.000$
OH that minimalist pale green gown! No matter the occasion, that is a great dress with just enough design to set it apart. LOVE it. Such a great diversity of designs you explored!
My school has a free prom closet full of new and gently used prom dresses! Lots of people end up donating their dress right after prom and the dresses in there are super nice! I think all schools should do this.
Tbh I'm 31 and love these videos lmao but I love the idea behind this video, Mia! Thrifting has come a long way honestly, I think it's a much more viable option for a lot of people for a lot of occasions
I wore a thrifted prom dress! We actually bought it my sophomore year to wear for my senior prom 😅 $40, full black sequin with a red silk shell and a slit! Still love that dress and that deal! If you live near a college, check thrift stores near the campus! Sorority girls get rid of their fancy dresses they wore once for events all the time and you can find some great pieces!
Mia I love you and your mother! Y’all are so genuine and funny 😅. I’m probably a lot older than most of your audience, but y’all make me laugh and put me in a good mood. My husband passed away last October and y’all really help me take my mind off the sadness. Thank you 😊
I'm sorry to hear that. Many blessings to you and my condolences. I lost my mom last April. But her birthday was October. My birthday is next week I'll be 48. My mom will be gone a year on the 29th of April. It has gotten a little bit easier to remember all of our good times without crying. My brother and I miss her like crazy. She was my best and only friend. I like watching Mia and her mom. They are close like me and my mom were. But we were way crazier together lol. I'm also a fellow Canadian as she is. Remember the good times and let yourself go through all the natural emotions. Don't let anyone tell you some weird cliché like " chin up" or " it gets easier" or something like that. Just do what's good for you. Sending love and a warm hug💐
In Ontario (CAN) there is a program called Prom Glitz (used to be Ballroom Blitz) where you can get donated prom dresses (from the past 5 years) for those in need in the Barrie/Orillia area. There may be programs like that in other areas. Great video Mia!
A really good friend GAVE me my prom dress! I showed her my inspiration pictures and she said she had worn something similar to homecoming the year before. It fit perfectly, and while it was a common style that year (pretty much a dark red version of the blue ballgown in the video), we saved so much time and money by going secondhand. So grateful for my friend's generosity and I love that dress still!!
So obsessed that you are encouraging thrifting, it’s so much more accessible and sustainable! a win-win for everyone ☺️ And you can get them altered too!
My friends and I donate to Sophia's closet. They put a popup event for girls to shop (all free) for their proms and graduation. Our prom, bridesmaid, formal event dresses along With shoes. Purses, jewelry, scarves and whatever can be worn for their big day. It was so fun picking up what everybody's gifted items. Look in your area to see if they have anything like this.
this reminds me of my own prom dress. my mom had picked up a black velvet sheath dress with embroidered red roses at a garage sale and i played dress-up in it when i was like 6, and then it just went to the back of the closet until i was in high school and needed a prom dress, and lo & behold it fit perfectly and looked brand-new. i literally didn't go prom dress shopping at all because i already had the perfect dress at home and it was dirt cheap.
Yes! Wedding dresses! My wedding dress wasn't thrifted, but it was second hand. It was my Grandma's in the 50s, my Mom wore it in the 80s, and I wore it in 2016. The only alteration I made was to remove the sleeves (mostly for sensory reasons). It was so gorgeous every time and worked for all three very different style weddings. What can I say, Grandma had some good taste.
Mia should be instantly invited to all the proms (no matter the cost of her dress) because she effortlessly recreated that iconic bra removal scene from Flashdance.
That red one with the insane high split would be good for a short person since it would go lower on the leg. Gotta consider danceability too! What a fun video and it's so great you are promoting thrifting. Def the way to go for something that might only be worn once.
WOW! Those dresses are gorgeous.😍Well done!! YES to thrifted wedding gowns, YES to a thrifted Kick-A$$ wear-to-work capsule wardrobe, and YES to a thrifted beautiful vacation capsule wardrobe. You should probably just go ahead and pencil in a thrifted Back-To-School capsule wardrobe and a thrifted decorate your dorm-room video as well. You're not the only one who is addicted to thrifting. Love you, Mia!! 💖💕
I liked the 1st one you tried on the best. Pink shimmery is so pretty especially with your coloring. My daughter had a gorgeous prom dress for her senior prom in 2001! It was completely beaded with tiny beads all over. We saw it on the rack while looking thru the dresses at a specialty store and just passed it over cause it looked bad on the hanger. Then while getting ready to walk out the door after not finding anything we saw a dress on a mannequin that was GORGEOUS! Asked the saleslady if they had it in her size and she pulled out the one that looked bad on the hanger! She put it on and it was absolutely perfect! It looked nothing like it did on the hanger. So don't be afraid to try a dress on if it looks bad on the hanger. Some dresses look terrible until you actually put them on and you could be pleasantly surprised!
Please do thrifted wedding dresses next. I love all your videos where you rate different dresses. Also, another idea for a video is look for matching outfits for Mia and Stewart or Mia and Tate. Love you Mia❤
this will forever be one of my favorite series that she does. i never went to prom and have been out of school for 4 years but you best believe ima watch this whole thing
I am a 24 year old married mom yet I love these prom dress videos Mia. Yes do thrifted wedding dresses! I’ve been super into thrifting bc of you lately, you have helped me get over the “ugly” lens I have at the thrift store and I’ve found some cute stuff!!
Prom dresses where I am are $600-1200 cad new, thrift stores start at $125 and private preowned start at $300. I graduated in 2003 and my sample dress (only one available in a size 2 at the time) was $320 plus tax and $80 for alterations. Just over 2 years later my wedding dress (also a sample) was $450+tax and bartered childcare for alterations. My sister "needed" 3 prom dresses for high school and spent $300, $470 and $825 plus alteration costs for each and her wedding dress was a little over 3k all in.
I wore Chucks to every prom I went to. This was the 80’s. Just picture it, a huge pretty in pink (from the movie) dress and purple chucks. Your friends always love what you wear, so just be yourself.
I will always watch these videos. I didn’t have a senior prom because covid cancelled it (2020 senior womp womp) so it’s a great way for me to live vicariously through those who will have theirs. If any of you are going to your prom, please cherish it. The most important part isn’t what you wear, it’s how much fun you have and the memories you make. A pretty dress does help though 😂
I bought a $600 Jovani dress for $110 on Poshmark for my prom! And the best thing about it was it was already altered for my height, so we didn’t have to pay to hem it. My younger sister did the same thing, and she got a prom dress for $13!! Also, online thrifting tends to have so many more options than in-person thrifting, as long as you know your measurements ahead of time. Just a suggestion for people who may not have a lot of options at their local thrift store.
The red dress with the too-high-split could be saved by putting red sequined shorts under. That would make it very dance friendly, as well. Also, for the dresses that plunge, you can use double-sided clothing & body tape to keep it in place.
Dear Mia, I came across your channel when I was searching for my dress for high school graduation in 2018. Now I am graduation college in geology and, following yours steps as a thrifter, I will be using a dress that I bought on a thrift store! Thank you so much for being such a nice person and for all the content that you created through these years. For me, you seem like an old friend for high school... sending you a lot of love 💕 (sorry if my english is kinda broken lol)
I love that you included different body types. As someone who is very tall and hence a curvy larger size, I see women say they have to buy from Shein or fast fashion because its affordable and has more size options. Thrifting is the way to go people! Such cute clothes at affordable prices and a lot still have the tags or have been worn once. It's really a win win.
I just wanted to say that I actually thrifted my prom dress! It was made by the design school part of the university I ended up going to and ended up in a second hand shop. I snatched that baby up for $70 and it was TOTALLY unique!
I went to prom in 2014 and thrifted my prom dress. It had to be from the 90s. It was sooo cool, very different from everyone else’s and the style still holds up today.
We have a local business in our town where you can rent formal dresses AND tuxedos! It's the best thing ever, and they only rent them for like $15 - $20 🙌🏼 The ladies are so nice and it's like a personal fitting appointment and you can tell they really care how you feel and look in the clothes 🥰 I wish they had that when I was in high school!
For my last couple of uni graduations I rented dresses. The website had so many options from £10 and up for hire. I think it's a really good sustainable idea. And if you do decide you love it and want to keep it, there is normally that option. Just wanted to let anyone know who maybe struggle thrifting or don't want to have to find the dress a new home (or have it stored in their wardrobe forever) 😊 I used a site called hire street (UK based) Hope this helps some people ❤
Prom dress season best time to buy a dress is after prom dress season the year before. I got my wedding dress at Macy's (it's a prom dress) but it looks like a wedding dress and it was $16 the blue dress you had on was extremely similar to the one I saw in Macy's it was $20. These dresses were originally like $300-400 my dress tag says orig $335 and I got it for $16
Ah, yes, prom. Well I saved my folks a ton of money and wore hand-me-down bridesmaids dress from my older sister and one that was made for me for a wedding I was maid of honor for. So, when my daughter was getting into high school I got a job and saved up so she could have a dream gown for her prom. It was worth it. Also, high schools *definitely* have dress codes for prom. They actually won't let you in if your dress/suit is too risqué/inappropriate. Understand these are still technically children an no matter how sexy your kid wants to look, they will thank you eventually for not allowing them to go out looking like a pimp or fuzzy! LOL
This video concept is so unique and useful! I really love this video because it shows that instead of buying a brand new prom dress, you can buy a thrifted one which is affordable and sustainable! ❤❤❤
Love the video! I always thrift my dresses, my graduation dress as well and everyone loved it :) Also such a nice detail to ship the dresses for whoever might want them

As someone who lives in a country without proms, i religiously watch your prom dress reviews.
Same 😂
I religiously watch all of Mia's videos despite being a guy and not having any practical use for the advice in them. What can I say, I just love her content))

Haha me too... ❤

As a 2024 bride, I NEED all the Mia Maples wedding thrifts, DIYs, cheap dresses, ALL THE CONTENT💯
Congrats🎉

You look INCREDIBLE in the first dress it's almost a shame you're giving it away but it's also so so sweet of you ❤

That green strapless dress is divine!

Y'all can totally find amazing dresses at thrift stores! Granted it's hit or miss, but I did find ALL of my high school formal dresses at thrift stores. Except senior prom but my friend gave me hers so.
The comeback of prom dresses try on 😍
I really loved my junior prom. It was masquerade themed and now all I want is to go to a masquerade party but there are none here. I also like to thrift specifically during Halloween since I like to cosplay.
i bought my prom dress a ball gown style dress at the thrift store for twenty bucks!! it’s definitely possible to find ballgoen styles sustainably
The revolve dress would be a beautiful bridesmaid dress! Or wedding guest dress
The green one reminds me of tinker bell and my bff loves tinker bell and I’m currently trying to make her a green dress ( it’s their favorite color) so they can match me and another bestie cause we’re the powerpuff girls ❤
Love to see wedding dresses ❤
I wore Chucks with my dress and I loved it. Also wore a short dress, with spanx...and totally still probably flashed people LOL opps..
I went to 2 proms. My mother took me to a bridal shop for my 1st prom. It was a bridesmaid dress ❤
I wish they had a place boys could thrift suits. For example- renting a suit is around $180 in my small town area. I only have ONE son. Imagine a family that has 2 or more? $180 for the cheapest suit and you are RENTING for one night. How many formals a year are there?

I'm over 60, never been to a prom, and yet this is just such a great video.
Im 56 and the same as you but she is so cute!!!
I'm 14, never have and never would go to prom but granny I agree with you. ❤
You can always dress like you're going to one! I literary wear formal clothes while i do sports with my Longboard, i do get many peoples laughing at me and such, but that's reflection of frustation
@SuitedSkaterLion I have a slip dress, purse and very fancy sweater outfit ready for going to the ballet when it is not freezing cold out.
I'm 64 & didn't get to go to the prom either. Go Mia!

My local thrift store ALWAYS has wedding dresses! I feel like they vary between more modern and SUPER vintage, so that would be a really fun video!
Really?? The ones in my neighborhood have small sections for everything BUT MOSTLY ALL BABY CLOTHES!! Its frustrating because my kids are in HS now =(
Every like this gets I will do one push-up 😅I actually did the 7 let’s hope there isn’t more😅 did the 17 this is getting out of 🤚 35? Ok, done

YES YES YES please thrift wedding dresses‼️
This! I'm 7 years past prom years. I'm engaged and can't find a wedding dress I like except online but I'm scared to buy online!
I'm in the same situation and I need tips on how to thrift because I love the idea and possibility of trying "vintage" or styles that are not just... trendy ( trends are unflattering for me lol) but more timeless and beautiful!
That would be a really cool video!
Agreed!!
My sister has a stuning wedding dress, i wish she would sell it for someone to use it for something better, sister keeps it on the top of my closet, in the bag, all curled XD it was like 3.000$
OH that minimalist pale green gown! No matter the occasion, that is a great dress with just enough design to set it apart. LOVE it. Such a great diversity of designs you explored!
Feel like it's a perfect bridesmaid dress ☺️
I thrifted my wedding dress! $27 and it's a ballgown, lacey, and sooo pretty and modern.
Omg...didn't even think about doing that! Are there some tips you can share? Is there wedding only thrift shops?
I did too! Best decision ever! 😅
My school has a free prom closet full of new and gently used prom dresses! Lots of people end up donating their dress right after prom and the dresses in there are super nice! I think all schools should do this.
I feel like prom dresses are just bridesmaids dresses with main character energy. ✨
As a 31 year old woman, who is long long long passed her prom, I’ll never get sick of your prom dress reviews/ideas. You’re the cutest ;)
Tbh I'm 31 and love these videos lmao but I love the idea behind this video, Mia! Thrifting has come a long way honestly, I think it's a much more viable option for a lot of people for a lot of occasions

If you live near a college, check thrift stores near the campus! Sorority girls get rid of their fancy dresses they wore once for events all the time and you can find some great pieces!
This comment needs way more likes.
The sapphire blue dress is so stunning and elegant! The colour also complements you so well 💙
Mia I love you and your mother! Y’all are so genuine and funny 😅. I’m probably a lot older than most of your audience, but y’all make me laugh and put me in a good mood. My husband passed away last October and y’all really help me take my mind off the sadness. Thank you 😊

I used to watch these back when I was in middle school now I’m a senior and I’m so ready for prom!!! I needed a newer prom video for help!!! ❤❤❤
A black (or red) satin mini skirt could save that red dress. You are the queen of thrifting
Yes so smart! I was thinking the same thing 😆👍🏼
I was also thinking like pleather or leather leggings for a sleek look for those who want to wear pants!
So obsessed that you are encouraging thrifting, it’s so much more accessible and sustainable! a win-win for everyone ☺️ And you can get them altered too!
My friends and I donate to Sophia's closet. They put a popup event for girls to shop (all free) for their proms and graduation.
Our prom, bridesmaid, formal event dresses along
With shoes. Purses, jewelry, scarves and whatever can be worn for their big day.
It was so fun picking up what everybody's gifted items.

this reminds me of my own prom dress. my mom had picked up a black velvet sheath dress with embroidered red roses at a garage sale and i played dress-up in it when i was like 6, and then it just went to the back of the closet until i was in high school and needed a prom dress, and lo & behold it fit perfectly and looked brand-new. i literally didn't go prom dress shopping at all because i already had the perfect dress at home and it was dirt cheap.
As a 22 year old girl with 2 kids who will not be attending Prom, I love these videos!
Have your prom at home 🥳😌
me too at 22 my second child was born ❤️❤️❤️
26 year old with an almost 2 year old and I love Mia’s videos
Calling yourself a girl with two kids is wild
Yes! Wedding dresses! My wedding dress wasn't thrifted, but it was second hand. It was my Grandma's in the 50s, my Mom wore it in the 80s, and I wore it in 2016. The only alteration I made was to remove the sleeves (mostly for sensory reasons). It was so gorgeous every time and worked for all three very different style weddings. What can I say, Grandma had some good taste.
Even though the green dress is pretty simple in comparison it‘s one of my favorite finds of yours😍It‘s just so elegant and classy👒
Me, a 30 year old, fully invested in these prom dress finds 🙃😂 I love the wall green one 😍
Under an hour gang 👇🏻
Yes, please thrift wedding dresses!!✨
Mia should be instantly invited to all the proms (no matter the cost of her dress) because she effortlessly recreated that iconic bra removal scene from Flashdance.
Wow that first sequin dress is my favorite. So pretty even for a night out. And the blue is pretty
That red one with the insane high split would be good for a short person since it would go lower on the leg. Gotta consider danceability too! What a fun video and it's so great you are promoting thrifting. Def the way to go for something that might only be worn once.
I was thinking adding a short / hot pants and a sash/belt in a contrasting color in a matte fabric could convert it on a edgy but safer option
@@MarinaEariel I was thinking if those were shorts built into the slit it would be soooo cute!
WOW! Those dresses are gorgeous.😍Well done!! YES to thrifted wedding gowns, YES to a thrifted Kick-A$$ wear-to-work capsule wardrobe, and YES to a thrifted beautiful vacation capsule wardrobe. You should probably just go ahead and pencil in a thrifted Back-To-School capsule wardrobe and a thrifted decorate your dorm-room video as well. You're not the only one who is addicted to thrifting. Love you, Mia!! 💖💕
I liked the 1st one you tried on the best. Pink shimmery is so pretty especially with your coloring. My daughter had a gorgeous prom dress for her senior prom in 2001! It was completely beaded with tiny beads all over. We saw it on the rack while looking thru the dresses at a specialty store and just passed it over cause it looked bad on the hanger. Then while getting ready to walk out the door after not finding anything we saw a dress on a mannequin that was GORGEOUS! Asked the saleslady if they had it in her size and she pulled out the one that looked bad on the hanger! She put it on and it was absolutely perfect! It looked nothing like it did on the hanger. So don't be afraid to try a dress on if it looks bad on the hanger. Some dresses look terrible until you actually put them on and you could be pleasantly surprised!
Please do thrifted wedding dresses next. I love all your videos where you rate different dresses. Also, another idea for a video is look for matching outfits for Mia and Stewart or Mia and Tate. Love you Mia❤
this will forever be one of my favorite series that she does. i never went to prom and have been out of school for 4 years but you best believe ima watch this whole thing
YESSS please thrift wedding dresses! Or Aliexress? I'm trying have a BUDGET wedding.
Yesss same!
I am a 24 year old married mom yet I love these prom dress videos Mia. Yes do thrifted wedding dresses! I’ve been super into thrifting bc of you lately, you have helped me get over the “ugly” lens I have at the thrift store and I’ve found some cute stuff!!
Prom dresses where I am are $600-1200 cad new, thrift stores start at $125 and private preowned start at $300. I graduated in 2003 and my sample dress (only one available in a size 2 at the time) was $320 plus tax and $80 for alterations. Just over 2 years later my wedding dress (also a sample) was $450+tax and bartered childcare for alterations.
My sister "needed" 3 prom dresses for high school and spent $300, $470 and $825 plus alteration costs for each and her wedding dress was a little over 3k all in.
That first dress is ✨chefs kiss✨😗🤌
Perfect pink for her ❤❤❤❤
The last blue (Elsa) one was so pretty. I loved the green one that matched the wall too. Def the best ones in the haul!
I wore Chucks to every prom I went to. This was the 80’s. Just picture it, a huge pretty in pink (from the movie) dress and purple chucks. Your friends always love what you wear, so just be yourself.
I will always watch these videos. I didn’t have a senior prom because covid cancelled it (2020 senior womp womp) so it’s a great way for me to live vicariously through those who will have theirs. If any of you are going to your prom, please cherish it. The most important part isn’t what you wear, it’s how much fun you have and the memories you make. A pretty dress does help though 😂
I bought a $600 Jovani dress for $110 on Poshmark for my prom! And the best thing about it was it was already altered for my height, so we didn’t have to pay to hem it. My younger sister did the same thing, and she got a prom dress for $13!! Also, online thrifting tends to have so many more options than in-person thrifting, as long as you know your measurements ahead of time. Just a suggestion for people who may not have a lot of options at their local thrift store.
The red dress with the too-high-split could be saved by putting red sequined shorts under. That would make it very dance friendly, as well.
Also, for the dresses that plunge, you can use double-sided clothing & body tape to keep it in place.
“i will include in the giveaway if u want to win it, but u crazy" is WILDDDD LOOOOOL.. So funny Mia LMFAOOOO
I love it when you do more sustainable content because you reach so many people. Well done!
Finally! I miss your prom dress contents which what initially draw me to your channel since 2017 ♥
Dear Mia, I came across your channel when I was searching for my dress for high school graduation in 2018. Now I am graduation college in geology and, following yours steps as a thrifter, I will be using a dress that I bought on a thrift store! Thank you so much for being such a nice person and for all the content that you created through these years. For me, you seem like an old friend for high school... sending you a lot of love 💕 (sorry if my english is kinda broken lol)
I love that you included different body types. As someone who is very tall and hence a curvy larger size, I see women say they have to buy from Shein or fast fashion because its affordable and has more size options. Thrifting is the way to go people! Such cute clothes at affordable prices and a lot still have the tags or have been worn once. It's really a win win.
OMMMGGG such a warm throwback to your earlier content Mia 🥹🫶🏼 love this! Also yes - pls do the thrifted wedding dresses as well! 🤌🏽
YESSSS so glad this series is having a revival!! i can’t tell you how many times i watched ur old prom dress vids 💗
This thumbnail changed 3 times what. An i losing my mind😭
The blue ball gown is my fave and looks GORGEOUS on you! ❤❤❤
I’m a 24 year old Nigerian Woman living in Nigeria who has never and will never have a prom but I live for these videos. Love you Mia🎉
The light blue is gorgeous! I would watch some thrifted wedding dresses
These dresses are so gorgeous! It's amazing what you can find when thrifting! Also, 100% yes to a thrifted wedding dress video!
The rose gold dress has my heart ❤
The soft green one Mia❤❤ wow
Can we talk about the freaking adorable pink sweater you had on in the intro !
I just wanted to say that I actually thrifted my prom dress! It was made by the design school part of the university I ended up going to and ended up in a second hand shop. I snatched that baby up for $70 and it was TOTALLY unique!
I went to prom in 2014 and thrifted my prom dress. It had to be from the 90s. It was sooo cool, very different from everyone else’s and the style still holds up today.
I love the first one.
Love your channel: Perfect time frame, no useless rambling, funny, straight to the point, intriguing and enjoyable. Love your mom! She’s a joy ❤
We have a local business in our town where you can rent formal dresses AND tuxedos! It's the best thing ever, and they only rent them for like $15 - $20 🙌🏼 The ladies are so nice and it's like a personal fitting appointment and you can tell they really care how you feel and look in the clothes 🥰
I wish they had that when I was in high school!
For my last couple of uni graduations I rented dresses. The website had so many options from £10 and up for hire. I think it's a really good sustainable idea. And if you do decide you love it and want to keep it, there is normally that option. Just wanted to let anyone know who maybe struggle thrifting or don't want to have to find the dress a new home (or have it stored in their wardrobe forever) 😊 I used a site called hire street (UK based)
Hope this helps some people ❤
Girl, I'm 28 and seriously enjoyed basking in your thrift wins! I vote yes to thrifted wedding dresses and have loved all your videos like this!
I’m 15yrs past caring about prom dresses, but if I see Mia posted I click!
Mia you're simply gorgeous inside and out. Stay true to yourself always! We need more mias in this world ❤
Prom dress season best time to buy a dress is after prom dress season the year before. I got my wedding dress at Macy's (it's a prom dress) but it looks like a wedding dress and it was $16 the blue dress you had on was extremely similar to the one I saw in Macy's it was $20. These dresses were originally like $300-400 my dress tag says orig $335 and I got it for $16
Hi Mia!! 😊 can you do a review of "HOUSE OF CB"?? They have very beautiful, dress!! Sorry for my english.. i'm italian! 😂
Ah, yes, prom. Well I saved my folks a ton of money and wore hand-me-down bridesmaids dress from my older sister and one that was made for me for a wedding I was maid of honor for. So, when my daughter was getting into high school I got a job and saved up so she could have a dream gown for her prom. It was worth it. Also, high schools *definitely* have dress codes for prom. They actually won't let you in if your dress/suit is too risqué/inappropriate. Understand these are still technically children an no matter how sexy your kid wants to look, they will thank you eventually for not allowing them to go out looking like a pimp or fuzzy! LOL
This video concept is so unique and useful! I really love this video because it shows that instead of buying a brand new prom dress, you can buy a thrifted one which is affordable and sustainable! ❤❤❤
Love the video! I always thrift my dresses, my graduation dress as well and everyone loved it :) Also such a nice detail to ship the dresses for whoever might want them
