$1,000 for a Wedding Dress - ok ... it’s stiff, but I could go along with that.
But, $300+ for a Prom Dress .... hey, sweatheart, you want that Prom dress, I suggest you get a job babysitting, at the grocery store, fast food, theater or retail store and save your own money.
This Daddy ain’t shelling that much out for a dress they will likely wear once, and never wear again. I work too hard for my money.
Nowadays, what the difference between a wedding dress and a prom dress anyway, just a veil? Total flesh parade...even at your wedding?
330.00 for prom dress . . . alterations extra.
skipped prom freshman, sophomore and junior year . . . thought it would be more special IF she waited for senior year. Her decision. Most of her friends, this will be their 4th prom . . . starting freshman year by dating upper classmen . . . some go to TWO proms per year IF date attends a different high school . . . they go to both proms.
No hotel. No liquor. No limo.
She’s earned 4 years tuition so far, some we don’t know about yet that might be applied to housing. So 330.00, I’ll gladly pay it. I didn’t go to my prom(s). Cool kids back then didn’t go.
When we left D/FW 20 years ago to move here before kids were born . . . the rich kids weren’t taking limo’s . . . they were renting/chartering HELICOPTERS to fly them over to Dallas’ Reunion Tower for dinner before the prom. Ridiculous. Wonder what they do now? Like I said, that was 20 years ago.
I’ve seen some really great dresses at GOODWILL....if they aren’t buying them there or making them....well...they’ve learned well from their stupid parents!
