Answer #1

have you ever done odd jobs for your neigbers? like mowing, gutter cleaningm baby sitting, cleaning the inside house….etc charge 10 dollars per job if you are good enough.

Answer #2

Why can’t you just wear one of the ones you’ve worn before? If you’re really not ok with that go get it altered, you can add to it, take away from it. When I got my prom dress, I didn’t like parts of it and with a few stitches we were easily able to change the way it looks. If you don’t sew or use a sewing machine you can take it somewhere to get it altered. On top of that, you can add simple accessories to it beads, ribbon etc, lace, etc. And sometimes wearing it with different jewelery can change the way it looks entirely.

Answer #3

If you have a consignment shop or store in your area take some of your clothes you out grew or no longer want and sell them you pro could get enough money to buy a beautiful dress :)

Answer #4
