Cheap Plus Size Prom Dresses

Finding the perfect plus size prom dress is become easier and easier as more large retail chains begin expanding their collection of designers and dresses. The new addition of specialty retail chains that cater to shoppers looking for trendy and fashion clothing in plus sizes, increases your options even more.

To help you find the perfect prom dress, here are five nationwide retailers that offer several styles of plus size prom dresses at more affordable prices.

Fashion Bug
Fashion Bug stores have an entire department for plus size designs, including a selection of formal dresses. Their most popular plus size line, Studio 1940, offers several trendy prom dress styles at very affordable prices. Current styles average in price from forty five to eighty dollars, and come in plus sizes 14-22. Once you have made a dress selection you can complete your outfit by shopping from the wide selection of shoes and accessories available. Check the Fashion Bug website (www.fashionbug.charmingshoppes.com) for store locations and hours, or to do all your shopping online.

DEB Shops
DEB Shops is a young woman’s fashion clothing chain, also available online, represented in forty three states that carries a wide selection of plus size prom dresses. Sizes available vary from dress to dress but most are available in sizes fourteen to twenty two, with some styles in larger sizes. DEB is very trend focused so finding the perfect prom dress in popular styles should not be an issue, everything from halter to strapless is available. And while the prices may be cheap the quality of dresses isn’t, I found several trendy styles from popular designers ranging from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars in price. Visit the www.debshops.com for store locations and hours.

JCPenney
Every year JCPenney has a very wide selection of prom dresses available and has started expanding their choices of plus size prom dresses recently due to demand. Several choices from plus size only designers are available as well as more popular designers who are now offering selected styles in plus sizes. The prices for prom dresses at JCPenney are reasonable to start, but I found that most of the plus sized options did have a higher price tag than the same styles in smaller sizes. Still the dresses are very affordable. www.jcp.com

Torrid
Torrid is a great place to start shopping for cheap plus size dresses, they specialize in young women’s fashion clothing in sizes twelve to twenty six. The best part about the fashions at Torrid is that they offer very cheap and affordable prices, something you don’t see a lot from plus size retailers. Strapless bubble dresses that are very prom appropriate start at seventy dollars and several different styles of halter dresses from sixty to over one hundred dollars.
