The Bite:

Maybe it was actually the velveteen abomination you were wearing. Get an eco-dress you can see yourself donning beyond a night of Enchantment under the Sea, and up the chances of getting invited to the backseat of your date's car.

The Benefits:

The best prom photos, like, ever. Those yearbook pics are gonna be around a long time, y'know.
Eco-formal attire. If you do buy new, go with dresses made from sustainable materials such as bamboo, organic silk, and reclaimed fabrics.
Getting more for less. You can get nicer gowns at cheaper prices if you rent or go the second-hand route.

Personally Speaking:

Come early Dec., you can find MT Biters scouring thrift store racks for something stylish to wear to the annual Bozeman Adult Prom (no high schoolers allowed).

Wanna Try:

Rent a dress from a local formalwear or bridal rental company, or get one used from a consignment or thrift store.
Linda Loudermilk - click on look 44 for a beautiful hemp-satin number in taupe; contact the designer for ordering info.
Deborah Lindquist - click on "The Green Wedding" to check out this designer's hemp-silk bustier dresses made using vintage lace and even Indian saris ($875-$900).
Earth & Sky Love is in the Air Dress - black or red organic-cotton tank dress with a tie-back ($330).
Beau Soleil Beau Ball - black bamboo strapless dress; pair it with a shawl and jewelry for your formal night out ($100).
Glass Slipper Project - IL organization that has a list of nationwide spots where you can donate your used formal dresses.

Cocktail Fact

A national poll for Your Prom mag found that the average boy spends about $545 on prom and the average girl, $530.

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters wear a once-used dress instead of buying a new one, we'll keep the weight of almost 60,000 prom dates in pesticides outta the environment.

I tried some of the eco-dresses that the author mentioned and was amazed at how attractive they made me look! They were cost effective and durable as well. Kudos to all 'eco' stuff! Can i get a real estate which is eco friendly too? tampa real estate attorneys
