Aaaargghhh - where to get a prom dress?

DD1 has her school prom in early July. She is quite difficult to find clothes for as she is small and skinny.

I wondered if anyone knew of any good prom hire places in central or west London - she is very slim, size 6, so not sure if they would have much in her size?

Willing to buy but I don't want to go mad financially I was thinking £150-£200 max, is the best bet a department store? I have seen loads of ads online and on ebay for made to measure dresses from China - has anyone tried them - are they any good or cheap and nasty?

Go to Finsbury Park. Fonthill Road (a minute's walk from the Underground) is full of prom dress shops. You'll easily get something for under £200. Good luck!

There are some in the adult bridemaids as well as occasion and party dresses.
