I went to prom in 2007 and I only spent about $100 on a dress and shoes. I had friends who borrowed dresses or bought dresses from stores like Forever 21 (so probably under $30.) There wasn't pressure to spend a whole lot or even get a limo. I can't imagine spending anything near $1,000 as I didn't have that and my parents certainly weren't going to spend that much! I wouldn't even spend close to that for my wedding dress, veil, shoes, etc.
