Formal for Less

If you are need of a formal dress for a special occasion, one of the first places to try is the consignment store. It is one item that most people only wear a time or two and then donate or consign. Since it is not worn much it would not be noticeable that you did not buy it new. You can get a dress for a fraction of what you would pay in a department store. You do not have as wide as selection as a department store and you may not find one you like or fits. But it is at worth a try.
