LONG *but informative* POST ALERT!

Holding out on buying Prom of the Decade tickets because you think you won't find attire? We've put together a diverse list of places to look that won't break the bank and have large selections. Remember, you can make this event as casual or as extravagant as you prefer! We want you to have fun with it and be mindful that the end result is supporting Downtown Odessa Inc and our revitalization efforts. ball gown wedding dresses with sleeves

Start by looking in your parent's or friend's closets! So many people keep those bridesmaid and prom dresses around for decades! Get them out and bring them back to life!

Our obvious first choice in purchasing would be to swing by P Pickers - Odessa Mo right in our own downtown! One of their vendors, as you may have seen, has a great selection of dresses on hand (that are currently 50% off)! Or don't forget the Clothes Closet at the outlet mall. Dudes, you may find something there, as well.
