Not really. Depends what designer, really. You're not looking to real couture, unless you're loaded.

I got a Cooper dress for my yr 10 formal, it was about $300 (Mid Season Reductions).

I'd say a Sheike or NY dress is better than something from Harts, but if you think about it, the material and colours do date, unless you're getting a plain black dress, which will probably set you around about $100-200 anyway...

If you buy a designer, it's less likely to go out of fashion easily - I've lent my dress to two friends since yr 10, wore it to a few parties and clubs, then sold it on eBay for $140.

how can ppl wear second hand clothes ?

=/

Yeh QVB has some good places, and i think near the end of the yr, near formal time they do have sales on.

when its a formal dress or something similar, and it has only been worn once or twice... i dont think 'second- hand' is an issue.
especially if your going to save hundreds of dollars for something that you only wear once...

BabyGirl69er · 1 Jun 2005, 6:48 PM

i got 2 yr 10 formals dresses one from review which wasnt 2 bad but my other one i got from chic was lyk 600, shit hapens i love that dress. my friend got hers from the qvb 4 this yr n her's was the price of a small country.

the price also depends on the fabrics, colour, detail and beading etc.

I wore it once.

The price of drycleaning (about $30) compared to the price of buying a dress (mine was about $300)

I'd call it value.
