Shopping for the perfect formal dress

Kate Fehrs, Staff Writer

Winter formal comes along with a lot of stressful decisions; finding out who you are going with, what group of friends you are going with, but the very most stressful decision is left for the girls to pick out the perfect dress to wear.

After experiencing two formals, I have realized the worst yet best part of formal is picking out your dress. Many other girls can agree with this statement, because yet it is so exciting finding exactly what you have in mind, it is very challenging at times to actually find it. Every girl wants to look their very best for the night of formal, so finding a dress they like is very important.

When searching online for a dress, there are various different places you can look. For example, Free People (https://www.freepeople.com/ ) is the perfect place to shop online for a unique, boho dress. Free People has different styles of dresses that would be perfect for winter formal.       

Free People can get spendy at times for a dress you will only wear one night, but stores like Tobi  (http://www.tobi.com/ ), Nasty Gal ( http://www.nastygal.com/ )and Lulus (https://www.lulus.com/) also have a great variety of dresses. Their dresses are more simple and plain and are at an affordable price, but will still be ideal for formal.

Shopping online can get hard sometimes, you do not know exactly how it is going to fit you and what it is going to look like in person. So, buying a dress in stores is ideal, but living in Sioux Falls makes that hard at times. Boutiques downtown are always great places to look to find cheap, stylish dresses.
