But, the star of the prom will always be the dress.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how you end up going to the prom, you\u2019re going to need an outfit. Short, long, full or sleek \u2013 anything goes in the formal fashion world and sequins, beads, sparkle and shine will always be popular. Prices on formal dresses can go well into the hundreds of dollars, but you don\u2019t need Cinderella\u2019s fairy godmother for a ball gown. With Goodwill you can spend wisely and find the dress of your dreams.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah and Anne Marie were happy to model a few of the formal gowns and clutches that I found on the racks at the Goodwill in Morgantown, PA. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2444\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pix 1\" width=\"401\" height=\"562\" data-size=\"720x1008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-1-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px\" \/> <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-2.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2445\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pix 2\" width=\"399\" height=\"399\" data-size=\"660x660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-2.jpg 660w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/> <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2446\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2446\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-3.jpg\" alt=\"Pix 3\" width=\"400\" height=\"560\" data-size=\"679x951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-3.jpg 679w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-3-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/> <\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-4.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2447\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-4.jpg\" alt=\"Pix 4\" width=\"400\" height=\"560\" data-size=\"615x861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-4.jpg 615w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Pix-4-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/> <\/a>Be sure and check your local store to see what kind of dresses and accessories they have in stock. You may have to visit a few locations (find one near you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/shop\/stores-donation-centers\/\">click here<\/a>), so give yourself plenty of time before the big event.<\/p>\n<p>At Goodwill what you see is one-of-a-kind and during prom and wedding season, so don\u2019t wait if you find something you love! When searching, be sure and check out the condition of the dress. A few alterations and cleaning could add to your cost unless you have someone handy who can help you out. You\u2019ll also want shoes, an elegant clutch and jewelry \u2013 all of which you can find at Goodwill!<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to break the bank to look fabulous at the prom.
