Hello,

Has anyone bought the prom dress yet? How much? And, what sort of figure am I looking at for hair and make up?

Daughter has chosen a £700 dress 👗 😱! I think this is way over the top but she said it's the going rate.

My niece had a £30 jumpsuit, and she looked fab. Don't let your daughter con you, OP!

Oh and the best transport award went to the 6 lads who turned up perched in a tractors trailer (farming family plus mates), runner up came on the back of his uncle's motorcycle who rode semi pro - didn't see any rented cars

Confused

My kids dresses were £50 or so - quizz for one, chichi London for the other. Nobody wore custom gowns, many wore short cocktail dresses or mens suits in fact. The boys wore from jeans to full black tie.

This was in an affluent suburb not London.

For both of mine I booked a trip to boots on the day for make up, think it was £20 but that was a voucher off make up to buy. Did own hair and painted own nails

I never thought about Boots! I'll investigate that for make-up.

Both DDs and their friends had asos dresses around the £30 mark. Own make up and hair and no limos. This is in North London. £700 is beyond my comprehension, but maybe it depends on where you live.
