So, I’ve already given you some ideas of where to find a low-cost Sweet Sixteen dress. Here are some more:
* You can find everything you need for a Sweet 16 outfit on Ebay, either brand new or barely worn. It amazes me how many times people sell things on Ebay that still have the tags and admit they bought the wrong size or just never got around to wearing it. Give yourself plenty of time before you need the dress to search Ebay and bid on the items you like. But don’t become too attached to one particular dress or you may find you can’t stop bidding, and your budget item ends up a pricey purchase!
* Search your local charity shops or nearly new shops as they often have beautiful dresses, and even designer labels, at a fraction of their original cost.
* Keep an eye out for the high street sales and see what you can get off-the-peg
* Retro and Vintage styles are very popular at the moment, and you may have a local Vintage clothes store where you can pick up a one-of-a-kind outfit at a good price. As with charity shop items, a good clean, a few adjustments and your own accessories will help create the perfect Sweet Sixteen outfit.
I hope this has given you plenty of ideas for finding Sweet Sixteen dresses on a budget. If you have any more, please add them in the comments section below.

Finding beautiful Sweet Sixteen dresses does not have to be expensive. There are many options for finding budget dresses that don’t look like you have scrimped on cost.
* Ask an older relative if they have a suitable dress they no longer want. You may not want to wear a hand-me-down from your sister (especially if you are close in age and the dress was your sister’s Sweet Sixteen dress) but you probably wouldn’t mind a barely worn dress from a cousin. Special occasion dresses are so often left sitting in closets for weeks on end, that you could ask for a loan of a dress, if they are reluctant to part with it completely. Then customize it with jewelry and accessories that reflect your own personality.
* If you have a mum or Auntie with excellent dressmaking skills, they can make you a one-off dress for a fraction of the cost in the shops.
* New dresses are not as expensive as they once were – depending on where you look. Avoid boutiques, designer stores and specialist websites if you don’t have much money to spend. Instead you can find some fabulous dresses off the peg – and with the internet you are unlikely to be wearing the same dress as anyone else at the party. For some ideas, take at look at Lulu’s Fashion Lounge where almost all of the dresses are under $60 (a few exceptions) and you can even pick up some great dresses for around $30 or less. Then simply dress them up with accessories.
