My DD is y11 and today finished her GCSEs. I’m not quite sure why but she wouldn’t engage much in discussions about dressed for prom (on 6 July) until now. Most of her friends bought their dresses online or at places that required booking appointments.
I am encouraging her to look on eBay and Vinted but she’s keen to try on some dresses in real life to see what style and colour suits her. She doesn’t usually wear dresses, spends her life in shorts and t-shirts or cargo pants and crop tops. If I’m honest, I think her preference is to buy new but that’s still to be negotiated! I am nervous about buying online because we’ve left it so late.
Ive been trawling threads about prom dresses and have seen suggestion of Fonthill Road in Finsbury Park which seems to have a number of shops with dresses cheaper than usual high street?
We’re planning to go tomorrow so grateful for any insights or suggestions of other places in London to try? We’re in SW London so Finsbury Park is only about 50mins by public transport and we can get to most other places easily if needed.
thanks for any help!
