I think Macey's right by Penn Station is good.

Have you considered a resale shop, or maybe seeing if any of the bridal salons have clearance dresses on their racks? Some resale shops specialize in gently used formal wear--and just because it's used, it does not mean it won't look nice.

If your daughter is into vintagewear, you might look at some of the vintage shops as well--they may have a beautifully made dress that will knock your socks off...

Ebay and Craig's list (craigslist.com) may also be a good idea, but make sure you get in touch with the seller first....

If you can sew, or if you have a friend that sews (or if your daughter sews) you might try making her prom gown-- That way, she'll get exactly what she wants, and you can control the cost more as well.

I can imagine the price of formal wear in NYC, but you really should not have to break the bank for a dress that might only be worn once.

I'd definitely check out craigslist.org. I've gotten lots of great stuff from people on there (but in Chicago). Just be sure to meet somewhere public, but somewhere with a restroom or dressing room so your daughter can try on before you purchase.

Otherwise, H&M or Strawberry might have something cute and inexpensive. Or the Junior's department at Macy's; they often have good selections on the sale rack. I think that's where I got most of my dresses for school dances.

Does she have a lot of friends that are a similar size? Maybe they'd think it'd be fun to trade dresses from some other event?

That's funny, I thought of H & M, too! THey have some really reasonably priced outfits-- and maybe with a little creativity (some sequins or a nice pin or other accessories) you can even dress up a "little black dress". These days, the style for prom dresses has changed and a lot of variety has come into play. :-)

Just curious, did your daughter find a gown?

The local business community is the focal source of some businesses. There are a couple of chances you can avail yourself from local listings to establish your business. You can recover amazon suspended account by hiring such a service from such a local community and services.
