Prom Dress Budget Results Are In

Well the results are in from our prom dress budget survey and it looks like most PV senior girls will be spending between $100 and $200 on their dress. However, as you can see from the graph, a lot of them are okay with spending as much as $300. It is very interesting to see where student priorities lie. Prom is obviously very important to graduating seniors. It will be one of their last high school memories and one they will probably never forget. Clearly most seniors feel it is worth a considerable investment to insure that they look good and have a truly memorable prom!

“I would spend about 175- 200 dollars on a dress. I've heard girls say they will spend 300-500 dollars on a dress that they might only wear once.”~Jasmine Garcia.

“I would spend less than a hundred dollars on a dress if I had to buy one. But I am making my own and the materials are less than $100.”
