10 Best Resources for Bridesmaid and Prom Dresses

So it’s that time of the year again, where 1) your closest friends and family members get hitched and there are plenty of wedding events to attend for; or 2) prom night/end of the year holiday events are aplenty. And like every other event that’s held at a more formal, grander setting than the usual garden soirée, it’s always a hassle to hunt for a dress that’s exquisite in design yet not overly cheesy or ubiquitous.
