Who has hundreds of dollars to spend on a gown worn one or two times? Even when the economy was flush, I was wary of spending more than $100 on a dress. But even when we're low on funds, we still want to look our best. Shopping for cute, inexpensive cocktail dresses doesn't have to mean tacky or poorly made. You can find hundreds of dresses online at as low as $50-$100; and they're quite gorgeous to boot! When you only spend a minimal amount on the dress, it means you get to spend a little more on the accessories. While a cocktail dress is usually worn to 1 or 2 events a year, the shoes, evening bag, jewelry and wraps can be worn year round to numerous functions. It just makes sense to buy an inexpensive dress that also looks really terrific.

One of the best places to find an inexpensive cocktail dress is online. The Internet is a smorgasbord of shops that all have to compete for business. Unlike your local stores, the Internet puts merchants side by side in comparison and customers have the opportunity to check out prices in seconds with just a few simple searches. There are three really great shops online that I think offer the best cute, inexpensive cocktail dresses.

Amazon.com has many different styles of dresses which are prefect for prom, homecoming or even a Christmas party. There are long styles and short styles and the prices range from $50 and up. What I love about Amazon.com is they have a conglomerate of merchants that post their merchandise all in one place. Customers get the opportunity to see merchandise from all different places at the prices are shown in a competing market. Yes, sometimes even the same dress can be seen side by side at low prices. Amazon has its disadvantages, like a limited selection of upper end designers. It's a great place though and often has free shipping.



Another shop which I love is Edressme.com. While their dresses aren't as inexpensive as $50-$100, they are very inexpensive when it comes to designer gowns and celebrity look-alike gowns. Edressme.com has become famous for doing celebrity gowns from the red carpet. Every time you see a Hollywood event, you can usually find one or two gowns similar on their site. The dresses run anywhere from $150 to $500. That may seem expensive, but considering the cost of the red carpet gowns run from $5000 and up, their look-a-like dresses are a bargain. If your budget is a little larger, Edressme.com is the place to go for inexpensive cocktail dresses which are modeled after celebrity gowns.

Another shop that has really cute and really inexpensive dresses is Lightinthebox.com. They're a company from China and the dresses are made to order as well as wholesale. Lightinthebox also has celebrity gowns and dresses. They do a lot of styles from Gossip Girl so if you're interested in the dresses you see from that show, you can find many of them on Lightinthebox's website. Other than celebrity gowns, they have a ton of other dresses on their site which are pretty. Two things of note about this company: 1) they're located in China so expect some shipping charges 2) at the prices they're charging, don't expect stellar workmanship. The dresses are pretty and well made, which is what to expect for the money. I've had good experiences with their products and would be interested in knowing yours.
