On May 3, 2025, Bel Air High School will be hosting prom for their seniors. Students are getting ready to dress up and dance. Searching for a prom dress being one of their priorities, some students have bought theirs, others have not. Those who have not gotten their dress are getting into the last minute of scoring one.
If you are struggling to find a place to shop, don’t worry, you have options! Some popular places to shop:
- Cecile Boutique: 203 Louviers Dr, Newark, Delaware.
- Claires Fashions Prom: 1312 Philadelphia Pike, Wilmington, Delaware.
- Windsor: Stores locally in White Marsh Mall and Towson Town Center.
- Online stores: Lulus, Stacee’s, Hello Molly
- Bobcat Boutique: Bel Air High Schools very own boutique provides dresses to their students during the week of March 24, 2025. There might be some left over if you are desperately in need of a dress! Email Deanna Smith, [email protected], to shop!
There are different budgets related to various stores. Places like boutiques with higher quality dresses, most likely the budget for a dress will start at 300 dollars. For something cheaper, Windsor is a great option with dresses for around 100 dollars. Online stores are either a hit or miss with quality, and timeliness of delivery, but some dresses can be cheaper and affordable. The Bobcat Boutique or borrowing a dress from someone else are also great options if you are on a tight budget.
To prevent repeated dresses, boutiques are preventing buyers from purchasing the same dress as someone else at their school. There is also a student run account on Instagram that allows students to send in their dresses to post, so others know not to get the same one.
Time is running out, if you have not found a dress, I highly recommend getting one very soon. Most likely you will have to get the dress altered if it is too long or doesn’t fit you properly, which adds even more time. Do not procrastinate getting one for much longer!
We can’t wait to see the bling the Bobcats bring to prom!
