If you have a Debs-age teen… these 10 stunning dresses are all less than €50

Gillian Fitzpatrick

If there is one thing that strikes fear into the bank balances of parents of teenage girls… it’s a Debs

There has been much chat in recent years about how incredibly expensive the night has become: hair, makeup, tan, shoes, accessories, tickets, drinks, and transport/taxis. Then there’s THE DRESS to consider too.

And with the milestone event usually coming during an exam year too, there isn’t always the opportunity for teens to get a part-time job to save up themselves.

Still, we’re big fans here at HerFamily of encouraging them to embrace a DIY beauty regime. That and borrowing from sisters, cousins, or mates goes a long way. Finally, there are some seriously stunning Debs dresses on offer for less than €50.
