These 13 Prom Dress Fails Prove You Really Shouldn’t Trust The Internet For A Dress

When I was in high school, I wanted to look amazing for my prom.

I did the whole thing, from tanning (which is totally bad for you) to acrylic nails to getting my hair done by a professional. That gets so expensive, though! It makes sense that with online shopping, young ladies would now turn to the internet to help find a great deal on a dress and save some dough. Instead, some of these girls are finding out that the formal dress market online is saturated with scammers. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Check out some of these online prom dress fails below.

Yikes, sorry ladies! Most of them say they found a back up dress and had an amazing time, but what an awful experience. Share this with the young women you know (and their parents) to save them some heartache next prom season.
