prom dresses.
its my school prom soon and i really need a dress for it, but i cant find anywhere that sells them, does anyone know of a shop that does.
also ive tried debenhams, but the dresses were ugly.
I noticed today as I was driving along Abbeydale road, there's a new shop just opened called 'House Of Gowns' or something similar...... it's just a very short way up from the junction of Abbeydale & Carterknowle Rd, on a corner.

Do you know where London Road is? Runs kind of parallel to, and sandwiched between Bramall Lane and Eccelsall Rd. If you follow London Rd heading away from town, when it forks into two, take the right side. This becomes Abbydale Road.

I have been dragged round every friggin shop in sheffield for a prom dress. my 15yr old step daughter has been looking for ages. Most of the dresses were really ugly. Didnt get chance but normally TK MAX have a great range and some are very individual designer makes, really cheap!!!
TK Max at both Crystal Peaks and Orchard Square in Town.
We ended up ordering her from ebay and paid £35 including postage. its a lovely turquoise multi layered, halter neck, dress. just above knee length in a chiffon. It looks really expensive. there were loads of designs on the site just put in cocktail dresses.

We got my daughters prom dress from Debenhams in the sale at an unbelievabley cheap price. It's a beautiful black chiffon, underlayed with a darkish cerise pink, spagetti straps with a small tie on one side. It's really lovely and had been reduced to less than a quarter of the original price.
Baaaaaargain!!!

Since when as the UK had a school prom, flippin yanks influence get's everywhere.
6th forms seem to do them for some reason... my 6th form did, I refused to attend because I thought it was pointless, plus I didnt like most of them...
but I attended my girlfriends when she left 6th form... felt a right dick in a tux... lol
School proms have been going on for at least 8 years maybe longer. This is the first time i remember knowing about one! They have them in Universitys and hospitals (at least on my mums ward they do) and they are called end of dinner balls or midsomer balls so i think they are pretty common in the UK. Not as much a big deal as in the USA but still well known. I didnt attend mine.
We had a ball in my sixth form. Uni also have balls. Don't really see much wrong with it...know it is a tad Americanised but it was a nice way to leave 6th form.
hi my name is grace hatt and i am new to this site and i am wanting a really beautiful prom dress it has to be long and it has to be beautiful as i want to show of in front of my boyfriend and i want to be the prettis girl there so if any one got any ideas on where i can get 1 then plz email me i am under hatt
I can also recommend TKMaxx have got some really lovely things from there and they usually have a pretty good range of lovely dresses, especially if you are size 8-10!!
I had a Prom when I left secondary school in 96 but we were the only school in the area (not Sheffield tho) to do it, the others just had a normal disco.
Colleges and Uni's tend to have Freshers and summer balls and grad balls, but my Prom was great, it was so cool to have such a posh night with all your friends dolled up, wouldn't have missed it for the world!
TK Maxx has some bargain dresses. A lot of them are awful colours, but like anything else at that shop, dig through the dross and you can find a real gem.
I like the dresses in Debenhams as well - I think some of them are beautiful, but I suppose that's a matter of personal taste. Cole Brothers are also worth a try.
For my grad ball about 5 years back I hired a very nice dress from a place on Ecclesall Road. It specialises in wedding gowns, but there is an evening gown section upstairs. I think they're called Pronuptia, or something like that, not sure if they're still there though. They did have a lot of very dated dresses when I went, but some really nice ones as well. Plus it's well worth hiring a dress if it's the only time you're going to wear it.
