where can I find a prom dress that isn't dreadfully tacky? everytime i look for one i feel disgusted by how gross prom dresses are now. there are some at bcbg but a lot of people usually have those and i dont want to have the same dress as anyone. can any

Look at Macy's

I know what you mean about the dresses! most sites have either one extream or the other!  I have found that Prom Girl .com has absolutely amazing dresses at really great prices!  They have anything from a nice ball gown to a short semi formal dress!  I will give you a choice from a couple different looks to see if there is anything you like!
First I picked a pretty full ball gown!  This one is by Mori Lee and is selling for $258.00!  There is 3 fun and flirty colors to choose from, pink, aqua and yellow!

Next you see a "celebrity inspired" dress!  I am showing a dress that was inspired by Fergie's lilac dress at the Golden Globes Awards!  This one sells for $318!

Another Celibrity look is Miley Cyrus' 2008 Oscar dress!  this dress sells for $258!

If you like prints , there are a few options as well!  One that is really beautiful is a floor length floral selling for $178.00!

There is alot of options for short prom dresses too!  One is a tea length ribbon dress that comes in tea, aqua, pink and majenta! The price is $99.00!

They even have a "design your own gown"  You tell them EXACTLY what you want and in 4-6 weeks, it is yours!  That starts at $230!
