    The sad thing is that “cheap” dress was probably made by a sweatshop worker, likely the same age as those girls in the video, earning 3 cents/day.

      @@eduardochavacano and? Whether it’s $100 or $500, it’s not worth it. But what OP was likely trying to say is that the $100 dress wasn’t even worth its price tag because it wasn’t a well made or ethically made $100 dress. Someone pocketed the profits.

    I get that cheap knockoffs is a contentious topic but honestly, most average teens don't have the luxury of dishing out 500 bucks and above for a prom dress that they will only wear once. This video is just shaming those people who choose to buy things for a cheaper price. Word of advice to teens, stick to your budget and don't splurge on that ONE prom dress that will only last you a couple of hours. There will be more dances to attend, don't fret. A lady is still a lady in her $15 dress if she has manners and class.

      I never spent over $100 dollars on a prom dress and I wouldn’t have spent close to that much if my grandma had been determined to take me shopping for them and made me only try on ones around that price range (my grandma is deluded sometimes I love her to death and she means well but dear lord I hate spending money I’m not wealthy)
      My mom spent less than $500 on her wedding dress and she found that to be too much so I come from a family who doesn’t agree with spending too much money on one damn day
      Honestly what mattered most to me is I could move and felt comfortable and I had wonderful prom dates both times...first time better than the second because we both ended up crying during my second prom for different reasons (we weren’t a couple btw, just close friends who were having other life problems hit us like a brick to the face on prom night and we both left early to drink milkshakes and avoid obnoxious people who were at our prom)

      Grill_ Gamer_24 Not necessarily. A lot of people can’t afford dresses like that and if the parent has to decide between putting food on the table and a dress, most parents would rather feed their children then glam them up for a night. Besides, the outfit isn’t what makes the night, the experience you have is.

    Some women and families can't afford hundreds or thousands of dollars for a prom dress and all of the accessories! So putting down alternative options and calling them "cheap and tacky" is a bit harsh. Sure it won't look like a well crafted designer dress, and it's awful the pictures can be misleading (and I can see how that'd be disappointing or upsetting), but they're still getting an option that's affordable for their budget.

      Preach sister, I couldn't even afford to buy a prom dress for my 12th grade prom. I almost didnt go, but thank God I had a teacher that actually cared. She went and got all these prom dresses from people who wanted to donate them and brought them to the school, so the girls that couldn't afford to buy a dress, could pick one out and wear it to prom. If the dress didn't fit, she had her mom fix it for you. She even got my hair and make up did. If it wasn't for that lady I wouldn't have even thought about going to prom. I thank her so much for that, I wish some schools would do something like that, it would be so worth it.

      I went to Macy's with friends to go Homecoming Dress shopping. Everyone was having a tough time deciding on a dress, but then I found a beautiful BodyCon style dress that's seafoam green with sparkles, plus it was insanely comfortable! I love it so much and it was only $30.00! My dad was happy when I came back and I handed $70.00 to him. My mom told him to me to give me $100.00 as it was a special occasion, but I'm glad I didn't use even half of it as it's the best dress I could of ever found there! A few weeks after Homecoming, I found a really pretty Ocean Blue Prom dress that's the higher-in-the-front style dress at a high end Goodwill for $7.00. I will wear it to prom and be fabulous!

    For junior prom, I spent a total of $10 at Goodwill. No regrets. Both dresses were gorgeous. If you don’t have the finances, you’re not forced to wear a bad gown like they’re suggesting. Splurging $700 on one night you’ll barely remember is idiotic.

      And what about the junior prom goings?

      @Lacie_Holly 9 років тому +39

      As someone who went to prom in an $80 dress, I hated Prom. My favorite part was going out to eat and hanging with my friends right before. The actual dancing at Prom was for couples grinding against each other, it was awkward, it was loud. It was super expensive and a complete waste of $100+ spent on it. It was on a riverboat, too, to give some context. Still awful. Unless you have a date that you like dirty dancing with (that's your choice and I don't judge you), there's no reason to want to go. My sister, instead of going to prom, bought dresses from Goodwill, went out to eat with her friends, played tennis IN those dresses, and then went exploring around the town doing other fun activities. Make "Prom Night" one you actually will care about and remember happily.

    I went to the mall with a friend to look for our dresses, we hadn't been out looking yet. First store we walked into (I think JC Penney) we walked past the prom dresses and said we'll check em later... But my eye was caught by this red dress that stuck out because it wasn't put back correctly. I looked all over for where it might have come from and couldn't find any like it. I said heck it, and tried it on AND IT FIT!! I'm not really into shopping, so I was relieved to find a dress I liked that fit me, so quickly. It was on sale for $200 something (or maybe cheaper, I can't remember). I hid it on some rack and after the mall went to my dad and said "I found the dress and it's on sale!" My parents and I went that night and bought it. Even though it was a bit out of budget, my dad was happy to get it for me. After an alteration to make it shorter and used that fabric to make braided straps, I had a beautiful, simple (with a dash of bling) prom dress that I still own and love. I've had it for 5 years and haven't worn it since... I wish there were more reasons to wear a dress like that. :/

If you see a picture of a beautiful, green dress and you're sent a frumpy, ill-fitting yellow dress, you'd probably get pissed.

This is so students who don’t have well enough income can still get a nice dress for formal occasion (like the annual special ed prom or sport galas at the end of each season).
    I wasn’t intending to go to prom (my dad had cancer so I couldn’t afford it) but after a classmate of mine told our principal, he paid for my ticket. My biology teacher and elementary art teacher took me to Cinderella’s closet to pick out a gown, it was black and made of a soft and lightweight fabric.
    My aunt did my hair, my mom did my makeup, and all my friends put together money and rented a large van (more comfortable and cheaper than a limo). The night was amazing and I was even voted prom queen! You don’t need to spend a fortune for the night to be fantastic!
    I still have my dress since they let me keep it! It was awesome!

      Me too. I can't afford $500 for a dress. However, the main point of the video is that the websites steal photos from established brands and sell products that don't look like on the pictures. They kind of look like the picture product but at the same time considerably different.

      Yeah some boutiques just do it for an extreme profit. But as a seamstress, I have to say, making all those dresses from scratch with good quality fabric is not easy and definitely deserves a good amount of money. Thousands of dollars is way too much, but anything between 0-25 dollars would mean that whoever involved it in the making of the garment was extremely underpaid. Just because it’s for cheap doesn’t mean it’s worth it 🤷🏾‍♀️

      The video was about what to avoid when looking for a prom dress. I don't think these girls are rich if they are buying dresses that are on sale. I think you should just look at reviews of the website and it's quality before decided to buy their products. also there is nothing wrong with wanting to look good and wear something that we'll suites you and doesn't look tacky.

      Sandra Claws personally I would just be pissed and they did make it seem like some sort of tragedy when really the only tragedy part is not having a dress for prom or homecoming or something and no one really gives one about what you wear half the time so they could just go to a place like ross and buy a formal dress for $30 or less. That's what I did when I needed a plan black dress for concert band and I found it for $17 and the higher class bands that had to order them paid like $30-40

    I wouldn't even buy a dress that costs over $90.00, I'd only wear it for a couple of hours. I'd rather just rent one instead.

      Keep that mentality in mind when you get married too. 😉

      At least the wedding dress you'll wear all day haha. And your wedding is a hella lot more important than high school prom-- at least if you do decide to spend more than $90 on it, you can justify it as something you really will want to keep in your closet getting dusty your whole life.

    Why the f**k would you spend about 400$ on a dress that you will wear literally once? Like I just don't see why

      DamaOscuraDeTodos I think they're a market scam. But if you want one, go ahead and buy it.
      If I get married, I'll just wear a nice dress for less than 300$

      I see getting married as a very important event but finishing school is important but not as much

      I got a dress for 3:50 cents and it's beautiful I love it, it fits great although I've seriously never worn it any where

      Stylistically, couples who spent less on their wedding day were more likely to be successful in marriAge.

    Suddenly I'm really thankful for my school not having proms. A hundred bucks for a piece of clothing that you probably won't even wear more than once? I could just use that money to buy food or other stuff that will be much more useful.

      I paid less than that for my homecoming and prom outfits since we went to Ross and they were about $30. Most I can still wear even though it's been years if I really need something nice and dressy for an occasion.

      Rulia Lee that's how I feel about wedding dresses lol. My family is gonna be disappointed when they find out I got a $20 prom dress on clearance to wear for my wedding ,and it's not white either. I love my friend and her wedding dress looks stunning on her, but I can't understand why she spent $1,100 on her dress that she will wear for 1 day.

    The dresses that they showed didn't seem that bad. Obviously, they weren't as well made as the more expensive gowns, but I'd much rather buy the cheaper version if the event is something as silly as a school dance and you're only going to wear the dress once Also that guy looks like he tries on all his dresses in the dark.

    Snobby, privileged, rich people. That’s who would complain about dresses from the internet. They’re good alternatives if you don’t have $500 to buy some name brand dress. Who cares if it has sequins or the material is a little different? Those dresses look perfectly fine. Not everyone cares to spend that crazy amount of money on a dress you’ll wear for one night. If I was the girl who got the $99 dress as a gift from her dance instructor, I would be THANKFUL. So bratty, oh my goodness.
