Where can I find a trouser suit for a prom?

Hi all, my DD15 has her prom in June and she wants to wear a trouser suit. She's really not one for dressing up for occasions and never wears dresses! We've looked at a couple of pictures online and she likes the look of tailored, tuxedo style jackets with slim/medium fitting trousers. She's into dark colours - dark blues, purples, greens, reds... not plain black. Or maybe switch the jacket for a funky waistcoat (or a three piece suit, perhaps?).

She's 5'5", size 12. I don't have loads of money to spend - definitely needs to be under £100, and less if possible! Have looked on vinted etc. but no joy yet!

Has anyone got any suggestions? Thanks x

Typing 'Ladies Trouser Suits UK' into Google, brought up loads, straight away, including many under £50.

My dd wore a trouser suit to prom 2 years ago. Pants and jacket from H&M, pants were £22 and the jacket was £30. Halter top from River Island, and shoes from Primark.

Amazing suits here if you can stretch to it - or check Vinted for second hand. https://www.twistedtailor.com/collections/woman

Jacket and pants would take you over budget but purple satin www.sosandar.com/purple-satin-hourglass-blazer

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll go through them. She's a bit funky/alternative style so I was hoping to get her something a bit 'darker' than the norm...

I second vinted. I got my daughter a gorgeous velvet one and a really funky top for less than £20. She looked amazing!

My daughter had a gorgeous dark teal one last year from Boohoo.

Thanks! I'll hunt some more through vinted and will look at boohoo too!
