The prom dress hunt has begun. Images of flashy limosines and glamorous decorations fill the minds of area juniors and seniors. But for prom night to be perfect, a beautiful and sophisticated dress is key. The most important part to a perfect dress, above all, is the price, said Kelly Doege, a Hoover junior. According to Tara Wagner, also a junior at Hoover, prom is built up to be a special moment in a girl's life.
Some specialty shops benefit by the prom business.
Others have made similar decisions to shop at retail stores. I buy retail dresses suitable for a lot of occasions,'' said Kelly Lovelace, a senior at Lake High School. Allison Oles, a sophomore at Hoover, agreed. Hoover junior Ariel Gummere said that price is the deciding factor for her. Consignment stores are another option.
