Hi Dietgirl,

Welcome to boards, thanks for offering to help the Op out, I'll leave your post up, I would recommend that you setup an ad on adverts.ie to help you sell your dresses, fair more suitable that through threads such as this.

TK Maxx in Limerick would be the best bet in my opinion. Always mobbed with young wans buying party dress sort of stuff.

I buy 75% of my clothes there myself. Although I think the mens section is probably a bit better than the womens because most men hate rummaging for ages so there's better stuff left over to find.

There are some gorgeous dresses here.. I know many people who have got their dresses there. Maybe a bit too dear though.
Hope your daughter has a good time at the debs

This seems to have gone mad ....... did anyone see the tv prog of the primary school kids in the UK having their 'debs'?

All the trimmings ..... hair, clothes etc etc ...... and even large limos and one lot in a horse drawn buggy!

I must admit to having a very negative reaction to the spectacle ..... made me want to knock some sense into parents and teachers ..... :mad:

Hardly exclusive to debs. You see eejits overspending and getting themselves into debt at xmas, weddings and the like the whole time. Never saw the point in paupering yourself for a year over one occasion.

My leaving cert class had one but only a handful of people went. Rest of us went to the pub and drank what we would have spent on suit rental and tickets instead.

tks for help - got sorted for the grand price of less than 60e delivered from ebay, Simple and very elegant. Can't go too far wrong with that price. The overhype that goes on is certainly not the norm here anyway, they not having a limo (its taxi by Dad), and she does the tan/hair/makeup herself. There will always be people who for the overkill and excess for weddings, debs, communions, etc.

I was just about to post to say to try ebay so delighted to hear you got sorted there! I am an addict and have bought SO much stuff off it - in saying that I was only thinking the other day I have so many dresses etc that I could start selling on it myself and make some money back - you can get some great stuff and great bargains too ! hope your daughter appreciates your efforts
