There are about a gazillion reasons to buy a vintage Prom dress, but here are 3 that should convince you.  --Angel

1. You won't have to worry about someone else showing up in the same dress -- you'll be one of a kind, guaranteed!
2. It's crazy inexpensive!  You can find a dress for less than $50 if you're willing to look.
3. Buying a vintage dress is like recycling, so you'll be doing something good for the planet (just in time for Earth Day!).

So head down to your local thrift store, log on to ebay.com, or raid your grandmother's closet for a unique and beautiful dress for Prom.
