Any one know were i can sell a formal dress in duluth mn?

Found the perfect prom dress but my mom made me get one i hate. I am really upset what should i do?

• Its my senior prom in a few weeks and my mom told me she'd buy me a dress this year. She made me wear my neighbors old prom dress last year, it was alright but i didnt really like it. We dont have a lot of money and almost all of my clothes are old ones from my moms friends kids or from goodwill. The most expensive thing i have is a pair of 20 dollar jeans from walmart. I'm alright with it, im not huge on fashion or anything and as long as its comfortable i dont care. I dont really have friends and im pretty much ignored at school. Im not bullied or anything like that, its more that people just dont notice me. I wanted prom night to be really special. I wanted for once that people to notice me. It's the last big thing before graduation and i wanted to finally show people that i could be pretty too, that i wasnt such a loser. I wasnt expecting any fairy tale or anything. I just wanted one night to be beautiful. Anyway my mom told me i could spend up to 150 on a dress. We dont have many places here that sell prom dresses so we both looked online for some. I found the perfect dress, it was unique but not weird. It was beautiful and it was 150. I told my mom i'd pay for anything over 150 like the shipping. She didnt really like the dress but said if we couldnt find anything at the stores that i loved then we could get it. We went shopping today and we went to a bunch of different stores and neither of us really found any dresses. As kind of a last ditch effort we went into a bridal shop and my mom found two dresses she liked on sale and made me try them on. I really didnt like them. They were both the same kind of shape as my one last year, a little tighter on the top and bushed out at the waist and fell straight down. They were basically average prom or bridesmaid dresses. I'd seen at least 10 girls with the same dress last year and this year. I hated both of them. One of them, the one my mom really liked was just a little to tight and clung around my stomach and made me look heavier then i am. The other one fit better but my mom didnt like as much. Also both dresses were only 80 dollars so my mom pretty much told me to pick one. I was really upset by then because i realized i wasnt getting my dream dress and tried not to cry, i hate crying and i dont do it infront of anyone. The last time i cried infront of someone was when i was 8. So i picked the one my mom didnt like as much because it fit better and didnt make me look as fat and the other one's zipper was a little broken and some of the beads were coming off. We were standing in line and i couldnt take it anymore i started crying, not hard or anything but i was so humiliated! I left my mom and sat in the car and tried to get it together. She came out about 20 minutes later, without a dress. I got really excited because i thought she'd seen how upset i was and desided to get me the one from online instead. But no, she talked to the people there and asked them if they could fix the other dress, the one i hadnt picked. And they said yes they'd fix if free of charge and it would be done in about 2 weeks. I was even more upset but i tried not to let her see because she thought i like the broken one better, even though i didnt. She thought she done something nice for me and i didnt want to hurt her feelings. I know she knows that im upset about not getting the dress online but she doesnt know how very upset i am. I havent stopped crying since we got home almost 6 hours ago, im so upset and crying so hard i actually made my self throw up. I hate the dress so much and every time i see the color green, the color of the online dress and the one i got, i basically go insane. I dont know if i should tell my mom how upset i am, because i've basically desided not to go to prom anymore and explain to her why i wanted the online dress so much or if i should just suck it up and keep pretending im ok with it?

• Answer:

  you should tell her that you want that night to be special.i know its superficial but i totally get it. but tell her what you really want> you appreciate her in spending the money and her help but you would like to pick your own dress. be straight forward,because you cant expect her to read your signals. i know i had a mom like that too but i learned to say what i want, and also be patient enough to hear her out (which i know you did) i wish i got to go to my prom. ;__;
