Few of us want to sell a kidney in order to look phenomenal at one of the many social functions at Princeton. Luckily, we don’t have to. Stores such as ASOS and Modcloth are well known but are thankfully not the only places to find the best semi-formal apparel for formal events at Princeton or back home. I’ve done some searching and have found some amazing places for all your formal attire needs.
Us Trendy was founded by Sam Sisakhti and it serves as a global marketplace. Seriously, there are hundreds and hundreds of affordable and gorgeous dresses on UsTrendy. In addition, UsTrendy is a platform for independent fashion designers and indie clothing lines–who doesn’t love indie dresses?
Urban Smooch knows college girls and that may be becomes the founder, Sarah Gupta, is college-aged. The online boutique is riddled with trendy clothing.
Dress From Europe is a fantastic find. Besides dresses, Dress From Europe provides quality shoes and jewelry (everything you’ll need for a great and stylish night).
You’ve heard of Deb, right? Located in the Quaker Bridge Mall (as well as many many other locations), Deb is a major provider of dresses, shoes, and accessories for young women between the ages of 13 and 24.
If you’re anything like me, you love sequins for NYE (and every other occassion). Lavishville is the absolute best spot for the eye-catching, stop-dead-in-your-tracks dresses and accessories.
Where can you buy a quality LBD for a mere $13. Soie of course! The cocktail dress section features a lot of variety, great color selections, and prices under $25. Honestly, it really doesn’t get much better than this.
So where do you shop for your semi-formal / formal dresses?
