haha, my formal dress cost $90, and I didn't even want to spend THAT much!
For my year 12 formal I was happy to get a $70 dress but my Mum said it was more cocktail than formal so she didn't let me get it. My Aunt ended up buying me a dress which was around $350. I would have been much happier with the cheaper one as it cold have been worn again for different occasions. I'm never going to wear the formal dress again, and I feel so wasteful
That's the same with my year 10 dress. I can't wear it anywhere At least with my year 12 suit I can wear it on job hunts etc
I hope your aunt isn't the type of person to guilt you about her spendings on your dress? My mother constantly reminds me about how much she spent on my yr10 dress as though I forced her to buy it for me... the other way around actually.
Luckily no. My aunt doesn't have kids so she has plently of money. To be honest I think she's forgotten about it.
My presentation night dress last year (it's quite formal at our school as we have it in the convention centre at town) was from an op shop it was light pink and long (unlike the other dresses that were in fashion at the time) for $20. This year my presentation night dress was from valley girl it was long bluey/back and it was $30. There are some very nice dresses even formal dresses under $200, you just need to look at a lot of different places op shops or vintage stores are great as they are unique and no one would have the same dress plus its always good to support op shops because they recycle clothing and are or support charities. Also Sunnygirl is a really nice shop which sells beautiful dresses.
