Prom night is a significant event for every teenager. Every girl wishes to be her prettiest on this day, and it would mean the world to her if this night would be perfect.

From styling their hair to choosing the prettiest dress, every girl would be excited to prepare for this event. Some young ladies would decide to buy from a boutique, while some would choose to wear their mom’s vintage prom dresses.

Some dresses are so classic that there’s no need to repair them. Other girls choose to add their style to their mom’s dress and create a whole new look.

Take a look at these 55 pretty young ladies who are rocking their mother’s old prom dresses. They looked gorgeous in them!

1. Stunning like her mom

We love how this young lady removed the sleeves and made the skirt a little bit shorter. Now, she glows in her baby pink dress. It’s simple but stunning!

4. Save more

Wearing your mom’s vintage dress isn’t just a good way to make her proud; it’s an excellent way to save money, too. Prom dresses, particularly the really nice ones from the big brands, aren’t cheap. Knowing that, this girl chose to go vintage on her prom night.

5. Twenty years later

Her daughter didn’t wear the dress to prom but she tried it on the morning of her prom. After 20 years, I can say that it still looks good. Too bad she didn’t wear it to her actual prom.
