Online Or In Store: Where Students Are Getting Their Prom Dresses
April 5, 2018
Prom is in 23 days and the search for the perfect prom dress is on.
For many, since this is their first year going to prom, the hunt a little more stressful.
Online stores such as Lulu’s, PromGirl and Windsor are becoming more and more popular for students who are online shopping fans, as well as people who aren’t as big into shopping.
“I like to sit down a take my time looking at all my options so shopping online was more relaxing for me,” junior Mia Benge said.
Although shopping online can be dicey, since not able to actually see the dress in person, many still chose online shopping because of the convince that goes along with it.
“It can be a little risky buying online because some websites can’t be trusted,” Benge said. “I think it’s nice being able to try it on at home and decide whether or not you not want to send it back or not.”
On the contrary, some students like sophomore Carlie Dill went to a dress boutique called Z Couture. Dill said there are many benefits to going to the store, including being able to actually try on and see the dress before buying it.
“I thought I was a larger size and ended up being much smaller,” Dill said. “If I hadn’t gone into the store, I would have gotten a dress that was way too big.”
Z Couture is a popular spot for many students at Cedar Park, according to Dill. It offers a wide selection of dresses for people buy and is located at 10515 N Mopac Expy A150, in Austin.
“I went to Z Couture because lots of my friends got their dresses there last year,” Dill said. “I loved the way the dresses were color coordinated because I knew I wanted a certain color dress, so it made it a lot easier to find.”
In the end, according to Benge, it doesn’t really matter where you get your prom dress as long as you have fun and are surrounded by friends.
Here are some websites that sell prom dresses:

“There’s been times [when] there’s so much clothing stored here and it gets overwhelming, so I end up having to sleep somewhere else in the house,” Mckinney said.](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/DSC_0951-1200x800.jpg)

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

They want to compete. It’s not a hard sport to do, and we have all different [skill] levels [of participants].” Photo by Henry Mueller](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Henry-715-1200x900.jpg)
