Oh my gosh.

I don't know what happened there! Apologies.

We are trying to find her a long sleeve prom dress!

I cant afford £500!
Have been looking at prom dresses online, why are they so expensive??

I only spent £350 on my wedding dress!

There probably won’t be many as proms are in summer.

I’d look on asos.

My gosh that is absolutely gorgeous.

There’s always a 20% off asos code knocking about somewhere as well.

Thankyou, I will show her. The ones with sleeves tend to be a lot more mature in style unfortunately :(

Are you near London?

we went prom dress shopping recently

and all the dresses we found were modest many with long sleeves, due to local demographic. It wasn’t at all what DD wanted

These might be too old www.jjshouse.com/all/prom-dresses/straps-sleeves/long-sleeve

Broffee · 27/04/2025 22:37

We arent really looking for modest. She wants something young and fun like her friends but long sleeved.

We are in the NW.

Is there a reason for the long sleeves. Would elbow length work? Or above the elbow?

No full length. She has scars on her arms.

My DD got her prom dress from Peppermayo - online store (dresses on average around d £70) - I did a search and can see that they do long sleeve dresses. It's from Australia but postage was reasonable and super quick with returns if needed https://peppermayo.co.uk/collections/shop?q=dress%20long%20sleeve

Try house of CB - they tend to do long dresses with mesh sleeves which might work

Alevel2 · 28/04/2025 06:35

Not mesh but has long sleeves

Sorry house of cb has a section for long sleeve dresses

If you want less expensive, try Vinted.

SlagPit · 28/04/2025 06:44

She could wear a short sleeve one with a shrug/bolero over the top maybe?

nonevernotever · 28/04/2025 06:48

Has she considered evening gloves? The sort that go up above your elbow? That can look really good, and would give her much more choice of dress.

Broffee · 28/04/2025 07:37

Thankyou so much for all the suggestions and links which have been forwarded for consideration

Also the long gloves idea is genius!
