There are five main places where you can buy a designer prom dress; boutique, department store, online, catalog, or have it made to order. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, choosing which is best will depend on what you're looking for, budget and the level of service you require. Here's a run-down on what you can expect.

No matter where you buy a designer prom dress you should allow plenty of time; leaving it late runs the risk of not having enough time to make any alterations needed, buy those all important accessories or, at worst, not receiving the dress in time for Prom.

Boutique

This is a popular choice for many. The owners and people who work in these specialist stores are usually very knowledgeable about the gowns they stock and will be able to offer advice on what dress will best complement your figure. They won't have every dress in a designer's collection in the shop; there simply isn't room but you'll get a feel for the general style and quality of the designer's garments. Many boutiques have their own website (more about online shopping later) and it's usually a good idea to take a look at this before you go along to the store.

The main advantages of buying from a boutique are that the dress may already be in the shop so you can try it out before buying. Also, most boutiques will carry accessories that you can try on as well. The sales people are very knowledgeable. Any alterations can be done straight away.
