I've never spent more than $60-80 on a dress. IMO it just isn't worth it. I don't understand this craze of girls spending hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars for prom.

For my grad banquet, I believe this is my a Canadian event if I'm not mistaken. My dress cost I believe $650-700. My hair was $100, makeup was free at Sephora, jewelry was probably $50 and shoes were another $50.

In Oklahoma I spent about 600 on my dress, 80 on heels, 50ish? on jewelry, & I actually got my makeup & hair done just for the experience, & that was about 80 as well & I tipped 40.
I couldve been more thrifty, sure, but it was my senior prom so my parents bent a little more on the money. Lol.

I'm with Nikol, my prom in Texas I spent like $45 on a dress at Kohl's, I had a pixie cut so I didn't have to do my hair (I just put on a headband with a pretty black flower), and I did my own makeup. It wasn't how I always imagined my prom getting ready process would go but I like how I looked and that's all that mattered to me (:

It's my senior prom so I'm not doing anything extravagant. I'm just getting a little black dress with some black heels and gold jewelry l. I'll be doing my own makeup and my own hair so I'll probably only be spending $50 or less :)

For my dresses (prom and winterball) I spent about $150ish and about $60 on hair and nails :)

I'm on Canada, and we don't have prom but girls go all out on their graduation dresses
My dress is (I'm graduating high school in June) $350 but it was on sale for 50% off (it was originally $700)
I haven't bought my shoes yet, but I don't want to spend more than $100 on them
And I'm doing my own hair and makeup

I spent 60$ on my prom eons ago! I'm in California! I got a dress from Macy's and had a friend do my hair and makeup. I wish I would have splurged on a better dress because two girls were wearing the same one! Have fun girls!

Well I live in Quebec, Canada. my prom dress was about 500$ with taxes and I spent about 100$ with hair and makeup. looking back... yes it was expensive but it was my gift from my parents to get my dream dress and I had been working since age 15 too. the prices vary... you can get a prom dress for like 100$ but it can go into the thousands.
also, that is the only party the school throws ao I have no other experience with winter or formal balls and stuff

For winterball I spent 15$ on a dress @ forever21 & I did my own makeup and hair! So I saved a tons of money.
For prom I got my dress for 430$ and then I spent 35$ on heels and 15 on jewerly & 15 on a silicone bra.
& I'm going to be doing my own hair and makeup so I'll be saving 100$
What about you guys? I'm curious to know how expensive it is in different states
