Is it worth splashing out on an expensive prom dress?
The simple answer is no. You don’t need to spend a fortune to look or feel great at your prom. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth splashing out on the right dress.
Before you rush to the nearest store and buy the biggest fairy tale dress you can find, you’ll want to consider whether an expensive dress is the right choice for you.
Consider Your Style
You may think that your budget is the most important factor. However, while it is important, it’s even more important to spare a few moments to think about your style. If you love wearing slightly more risqué outfits or don’t want to wear the traditional ball gown style dress, then you need to check out these prom dresses. They aren’t just stunning, they are far more affordable than you may think. In short, you can fall in love with any of them and look fantastic at your prom without breaking the bank.
It’s worth taking a few moments to consider what style really suits you.
Budget
Your budget is an important consideration when choosing a prom dress. Many people will shop a year before to find the perfect dress and make sure they have time to save for it.
The key is to decide how much you can afford and stick to this budget. If money is no object then you’ll probably think it’s worth splashing out on an expensive prom dress. However, just because it’s worth a lot doesn’t mean that it will look good on you or anyone else.
That’s why, regardless of how much money you have, you should set a budget for the dress and accessories and stick to it.
Your Classmates
Being the richest girl in class means everyone is looking to you. It’s inevitable that you’ll have to buy the most expensive prom dress possible simply to meet expectations. Of course, it can be just as hard if you’re the poorest in the class, especially if some members are very well-off. You’ll feel pressure to compete with the others and will spend more than you can afford.
However, you simply need to remember that these people already know you. There is no pressure to meet their expectations. You can buy an expensive prom dress but you don’t need to.
Usability
The bottom line is that most prom dresses are only worn once. That is an important concept to remember when deciding how much to spend on the dress. Buy an expensive dress and you’re simply hanging money in your wardrobe. But, buy a stylish dress which costs less and you won’t just have more money to enjoy the party. You’ll also have a dress that can be worn again and one that is still high-quality but affordable.
Final Thoughts
You can buy an expensive prom dress but the question really is should you? After all, the last impression you want to make to people at prom is how wonderful you are as a person, not that you look great in designer clothes.

State Cashmere – The softest wardrobe staples that last a lifetime, made from only the finest Grade A cashmere
Every woman needs a cozy, stylish pullover to pair perfectly with jeans, trousers, skirts, and more. State Cashmere’s substantial wavy ribbed V-neck sweater fits true to size and will complement any wardrobe. It looks fun without the frivolity of fast fashion. This wavy v-necks are the way to go. This sweater is persuasively soft and planet-friendly.
State Cashmere‘s Grade A cashmere is sourced from Inner Mongolia, home to one of the world’s oldest domesticated livestock – the cashmere goat. All material is lovingly collected to create the softest wardrobe staples made to last a lifetime. Unlike most cashmere brands in the fashion industry, State Cashmere works directly with the shepherds from Inner Mongolia. These are trusted relationships, and State Cashmere will never work with middlemen, cashmere traders or brokers. The best cashmere comes from Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolia is remote and isolated from the world’s manufacturing communities. The land is home to one of the world’s oldest domesticated livestock – the cashmere goat, a sustainable source of raw material for fine textiles.
State Cashmere does not do blends. The brand is committed to only using 100% pure cashmere for their pieces. State Cashmere‘s commitment to no blends is not only more comfortable for you, but also more sustainable for our environment. State Cashmere has also eliminated excess packaging. It calls a win-win.
Cashmere is incredibly soft, thin, and versatile. When taken care of, it is a heritage piece meant to be passed down from one generation to the next. Cashmere pieces are transcendental and can be worn season after season and year after year. They are basic but not plain and can be dressed up or dressed down. These are style staples that will elevate your wardrobe for the rest of your life.
Things You Might Want to Know About Cashmere
- Cashmere is actually a type of wool… BUT: Only the finest and softest fiber combed from the undercoats of a certain kind of goats- Cashmere Goat can call CASHMERE. Otherwise, the rest of them are all just WOOL.
- 5 Cashmere Goats = 1 Sweater: Each cashmere goat typically produces just 150 g of fibers, and it takes approximately 4-5 adult-sized goats to make one 100% cashmere sweater. Part of what makes cashmere so exclusive is because… it is only harvested from goats once a year.
- Sweater pilling is NATURAL: Pilling is a natural occurrence in cashmere and is usually caused by friction. Follow the cashmere care steps below to take care of your sweaters properly.
- Handwash cashmere sweaters with your shampoo: The care label is “dry clean only,” but hand washing your cashmere sweater will actually make it softer over time. Using baby shampoo, it works like a magic!
- Always Fold Your Cashmere: It’s best to store your cashmere in a box with cedar mothballs or chips as opposed to hanging it up. Hanging your cashmere for long periods of time can change its shape. The ideal area for storage should be a cool, dark, and dry place.
Cashmere has an insulation capacity 3x higher than wool, regulating your body temperature to keep you warm rather than hot. Cashmere is hygroscopic, meaning it is naturally breathable. It can keep you cool when it is not and warm when it is not. Quality cashmere does not shrink when washed correctly and will retain shape better than traditional wool. Cashmere does not wrinkle – you can pull it out of a suitcase and wear it straight away.
State Cashmere was founded in New York City in 2017, but the founder has been in the cashmere industry for generations. Coming from a family of shepherds in Inner Mongolia and grew up watching grandparents raising cashmere goats, through the family heritage and passion for cashmere, State Cashmere’s goal is to bring you the finest cashmere pieces from the heart of the founder’s homeland.
