The dresses are all so pretty😍
this sequin prom dress is so cute
Sizes??
Filled it out!❤🤞
Can you post the brands of the dresses too??
As someone who lives in a country without proms, i religiously watch your prom dress reviews.
Same 😂
I religiously watch all of Mia's videos despite being a guy and not having any practical use for the advice in them. What can I say, I just love her content))
omg what country
Haha me too... ❤
In my country, we don't have a prom as well but we do have a bunch of parties throughout the year hahhadh (most are not in the school and none have any adults overseeing and there's alcohol so you will see drunk kids) you can't dress like this to them tho, they would make fun of you (probably), def not "black tie" events
YES YES YES please thrift wedding dresses‼️
This! I'm 7 years past prom years. I'm engaged and can't find a wedding dress I like except online but I'm scared to buy online!
I'm in the same situation and I need tips on how to thrift because I love the idea and possibility of trying "vintage" or styles that are not just... trendy ( trends are unflattering for me lol) but more timeless and beautiful!
That would be a really cool video!
Agreed!!
My sister has a stuning wedding dress, i wish she would sell it for someone to use it for something better, sister keeps it on the top of my closet, in the bag, all curled XD it was like 3.000$
I was a lifeguard at a waterpark in high school and we had “lifeguard awards” and were nominated for things like: best whistle, most punctual, quickest dummy saves, best laugh…. etc. We used to re-wear our prom dresses with crocs (because crocs were apart of our regular uniform) to the awards just so we could have fun & rewear the dress that you usually only wear one time. The guys all wore tuxedos too. It was a good time.
Omggg that's so cool! I'm glad you were able to have that at your lifeguard job!! 🥰🥰
that sounds like something out of a movie!! so cute omg
I'm a lifeguard as well and my pool does the "Willlie" awards which is a pun on the name of the pool, and the like 'mvp' LG of the summer gets the "Wet Willie" lol. Its very fun. everyone else gets their own personal willie and its very fun and we go swimming after.
Omg I was a lifeguard, but we didn’t do awards like that, but we had lifeguard Olympics where the different crews competed to see who would get 1st-4th place. It always had a theme though so maybe one year they would do something like that. There were themes like marvel vs dc, Disney, avatar, and it was always a lot of fun. It was basically a competitive in service.
Sounds great
You HAVE to keep that light green dress it was MADE for you!! And with the pearls too omg 😍 keep it for a wedding or something
I'm over 60, never been to a prom, and yet this is just such a great video.
Im 56 and the same as you but she is so cute!!!
I'm 14, never have and never would go to prom but granny I agree with you. ❤
You can always dress like you're going to one! I literary wear formal clothes while i do sports with my Longboard, i do get many peoples laughing at me and such, but that's reflection of frustation
@SuitedSkaterLion I have a slip dress, purse and very fancy sweater outfit ready for going to the ballet when it is not freezing cold out.
I'm 64 & didn't get to go to the prom either. Go Mia!
guysss my boyfriend asked me to prom 😊 i’m going to take notes 📝
Omg congrats 🎉🎉🎉
Hope you are going to have a great time!
CONGRATS!!
That is so sweet 🥹
CONGRATULATIONS!!! God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, who is the name above all names & the only way to Heaven❤
My local thrift store ALWAYS has wedding dresses! I feel like they vary between more modern and SUPER vintage, so that would be a really fun video!
Really?? The ones in my neighborhood have small sections for everything BUT MOSTLY ALL BABY CLOTHES!! Its frustrating because my kids are in HS now =(
As a 2024 bride, I NEED all the Mia Maples wedding thrifts, DIYs, cheap dresses, ALL THE CONTENT💯
Congrats🎉
Yes ! If you go back to when she got married she made SOOOO many things for her wedding !!! I think it was some time early last year or maybe late 22? But she DIYd so much stuff for her wedding I’m sure you would find a lot of it helpful! Congrats!!
I grew up in a thrift store!! My mom started it when I was 5 and she ran it until she passed so over 40 years! Generations grew up in her store, both shopping and bringing in clothes to sell. We news of her death (wreck, loooong story) hit my hometown, people wrote notes and memories all over the windows of her store 💖. She was posthumously awarded the state good neighbor award. I grew up the best dressed kid in school. Also, fluffy girls, I am a fluffer and yes, there isn’t as much, but there are treasures out there!!
How wonderful and a lovely tribute to your Mum. It says a lot about a person when a whole town reaches out to show their respects. Thank you for sharing 💙🙏🏻💙
@@bellblue5527 thank you!! I miss her so much but know I only survived and thrived after the wreck because of the woman she made me!
Mia thrifting wedding dresses would be such a good idea considering how expensive they are for just one day. Maybe even thrifting possible bridesmaid dresses too🖤
I feel like prom dresses are just bridesmaids dresses with main character energy. ✨
So obsessed that you are encouraging thrifting, it’s so much more accessible and sustainable! a win-win for everyone ☺️ And you can get them altered too!
My friends and I donate to Sophia's closet. They put a popup event for girls to shop (all free) for their proms and graduation.
Our prom, bridesmaid, formal event dresses along
With shoes. Purses, jewelry, scarves and whatever can be worn for their big day.
It was so fun picking up what everybody's gifted items.
Look in your area to see if they have anything like this.
@@martig.garcia495 That is such an amazing idea and means that so many people can get gorgeous pieces! Definitely need to check that out!
OH that minimalist pale green gown! No matter the occasion, that is a great dress with just enough design to set it apart. LOVE it. Such a great diversity of designs you explored!
Feel like it's a perfect bridesmaid dress ☺️
I thrifted my wedding dress! $27 and it's a ballgown, lacey, and sooo pretty and modern.
Omg...didn't even think about doing that! Are there some tips you can share? Is there wedding only thrift shops?
I did too! Best decision ever! 😅
A really good friend GAVE me my prom dress! I showed her my inspiration pictures and she said she had worn something similar to homecoming the year before. It fit perfectly, and while it was a common style that year (pretty much a dark red version of the blue ballgown in the video), we saved so much time and money by going secondhand. So grateful for my friend's generosity and I love that dress still!!
Even though the green dress is pretty simple in comparison it‘s one of my favorite finds of yours😍It‘s just so elegant and classy👒
As a 31 year old woman, who is long long long passed her prom, I’ll never get sick of your prom dress reviews/ideas. You’re the cutest ;)
Tbh I'm 31 and love these videos lmao but I love the idea behind this video, Mia! Thrifting has come a long way honestly, I think it's a much more viable option for a lot of people for a lot of occasions
I wore Chucks to every prom I went to. This was the 80’s. Just picture it, a huge pretty in pink (from the movie) dress and purple chucks. Your friends always love what you wear, so just be yourself.
Please do thrifted wedding dresses next. I love all your videos where you rate different dresses. Also, another idea for a video is look for matching outfits for Mia and Stewart or Mia and Tate. Love you Mia❤
I wore a thrifted prom dress! We actually bought it my sophomore year to wear for my senior prom 😅 $40, full black sequin with a red silk shell and a slit! Still love that dress and that deal!
If you live near a college, check thrift stores near the campus! Sorority girls get rid of their fancy dresses they wore once for events all the time and you can find some great pieces!
This comment needs way more likes.
As a 22 year old girl with 2 kids who will not be attending Prom, I love these videos!
Have your prom at home 🥳😌
me too at 22 my second child was born ❤️❤️❤️
26 year old with an almost 2 year old and I love Mia’s videos
Calling yourself a girl with two kids is wild
I will always watch these videos. I didn’t have a senior prom because covid cancelled it (2020 senior womp womp) so it’s a great way for me to live vicariously through those who will have theirs. If any of you are going to your prom, please cherish it. The most important part isn’t what you wear, it’s how much fun you have and the memories you make. A pretty dress does help though 😂
Dear Mia, I came across your channel when I was searching for my dress for high school graduation in 2018. Now I am graduation college in geology and, following yours steps as a thrifter, I will be using a dress that I bought on a thrift store! Thank you so much for being such a nice person and for all the content that you created through these years. For me, you seem like an old friend for high school... sending you a lot of love 💕 (sorry if my english is kinda broken lol)
Yes! Wedding dresses! My wedding dress wasn't thrifted, but it was second hand. It was my Grandma's in the 50s, my Mom wore it in the 80s, and I wore it in 2016. The only alteration I made was to remove the sleeves (mostly for sensory reasons). It was so gorgeous every time and worked for all three very different style weddings. What can I say, Grandma had some good taste.
this reminds me of my own prom dress. my mom had picked up a black velvet sheath dress with embroidered red roses at a garage sale and i played dress-up in it when i was like 6, and then it just went to the back of the closet until i was in high school and needed a prom dress, and lo & behold it fit perfectly and looked brand-new. i literally didn't go prom dress shopping at all because i already had the perfect dress at home and it was dirt cheap.
My school has a free prom closet full of new and gently used prom dresses! Lots of people end up donating their dress right after prom and the dresses in there are super nice! I think all schools should do this.
I love that you included different body types. As someone who is very tall and hence a curvy larger size, I see women say they have to buy from Shein or fast fashion because its affordable and has more size options. Thrifting is the way to go people! Such cute clothes at affordable prices and a lot still have the tags or have been worn once. It's really a win win.
Me, a 30 year old, fully invested in these prom dress finds 🙃😂 I love the wall green one 😍
In Ontario (CAN) there is a program called Prom Glitz (used to be Ballroom Blitz) where you can get donated prom dresses (from the past 5 years) for those in need in the Barrie/Orillia area. There may be programs like that in other areas. Great video Mia!
I’m a 24 year old Nigerian Woman living in Nigeria who has never and will never have a prom but I live for these videos. Love you Mia🎉
My friends and I had a tradition where we would go to the thrift store for the school dances (homecoming, snowball, etc.) to find our dresses. While there, we would also pick out the weirdest/ugliest dresses we could find and we would have to try them on and model them for each other. It was so much fun! We did end up getting our prom dresses at a discounted rate from a store, but we felt okay doing that since all our other dresses were purchased second-hand.
A black (or red) satin mini skirt could save that red dress. You are the queen of thrifting
Yes so smart! I was thinking the same thing 😆👍🏼
I was also thinking like pleather or leather leggings for a sleek look for those who want to wear pants!
The sapphire blue dress is so stunning and elegant! The colour also complements you so well 💙
Girl, I'm 28 and seriously enjoyed basking in your thrift wins! I vote yes to thrifted wedding dresses and have loved all your videos like this!
Mia you're simply gorgeous inside and out. Stay true to yourself always! We need more mias in this world ❤
I used to watch these back when I was in middle school now I’m a senior and I’m so ready for prom!!! I needed a newer prom video for help!!! ❤❤❤
Mia I love you and your mother! Y’all are so genuine and funny 😅. I’m probably a lot older than most of your audience, but y’all make me laugh and put me in a good mood. My husband passed away last October and y’all really help me take my mind off the sadness. Thank you 😊
Sorry to hear your husband passed. Just wanted to say that. Sending you love from England. 🙂Rest in peace to your husband.
I'm sorry to hear that. Many blessings to you and my condolences. I lost my mom last April. But her birthday was October. My birthday is next week I'll be 48. My mom will be gone a year on the 29th of April. It has gotten a little bit easier to remember all of our good times without crying. My brother and I miss her like crazy. She was my best and only friend. I like watching Mia and her mom. They are close like me and my mom were. But we were way crazier together lol. I'm also a fellow Canadian as she is. Remember the good times and let yourself go through all the natural emotions. Don't let anyone tell you some weird cliché like " chin up" or " it gets easier" or something like that. Just do what's good for you. Sending love and a warm hug💐
May peace be apon you and your husband 😢😇❤
You should do a video trying on fancy dresses that could be prom dresses from Winners/ Marshall’s. They have some nice fancier dresses especially around prom season that would still be cheaper then what they would be originally
I thrifted all of my daughters' prom dresses. They were gorgeous, and unique, and so much more affordable! Keep spreading the word girl, I appreciate you.
Wow that first sequin dress is my favorite. So pretty even for a night out. And the blue is pretty
Yes, please thrift wedding dresses!!✨
YES to the wedding dress! Also, The thrifting high is REAL! 🙌 I LOVE finding treasures thrifting. So euphoric! 🤗
Where I am in the US, there’s an amazing secondhand donated wedding dress shop that sells the dresses and all the proceeds go to their non profit ❤️ you still get to go try on all the wedding dresses you want in person and it feels just like going to a bridal boutique but everything is secondhand and proceeds go to a good place, it’s amazingggg
What region are you in?
@@corneliastreet2491 in the DMV!
@@angelabeauty98 ah, sad :( good for y’all though. I’ll look and see if we have something in my area
That red one with the insane high split would be good for a short person since it would go lower on the leg. Gotta consider danceability too! What a fun video and it's so great you are promoting thrifting. Def the way to go for something that might only be worn once.
I was thinking adding a short / hot pants and a sash/belt in a contrasting color in a matte fabric could convert it on a edgy but safer option
@@MarinaEariel I was thinking if those were shorts built into the slit it would be soooo cute!
I liked the 1st one you tried on the best. Pink shimmery is so pretty especially with your coloring. My daughter had a gorgeous prom dress for her senior prom in 2001! It was completely beaded with tiny beads all over. We saw it on the rack while looking thru the dresses at a specialty store and just passed it over cause it looked bad on the hanger. Then while getting ready to walk out the door after not finding anything we saw a dress on a mannequin that was GORGEOUS! Asked the saleslady if they had it in her size and she pulled out the one that looked bad on the hanger! She put it on and it was absolutely perfect! It looked nothing like it did on the hanger. So don't be afraid to try a dress on if it looks bad on the hanger. Some dresses look terrible until you actually put them on and you could be pleasantly surprised!
they are so nice! the dark blue one.. got my heart!
We don’t have prom where I live but we do have graduation balls, I wore a dress my mother bought in the 2000’s that I’ve been eyeing since childhood, we got it tailored to fit me and I felt like a princess and the fact my mother also wore it added to the sentimental factor for me. I knew from the second I got into high school that I was going to wear that dress to my graduation ball and I’m so happy I did.
Mia should be instantly invited to all the proms (no matter the cost of her dress) because she effortlessly recreated that iconic bra removal scene from Flashdance.
Prom dresses where I am are $600-1200 cad new, thrift stores start at $125 and private preowned start at $300. I graduated in 2003 and my sample dress (only one available in a size 2 at the time) was $320 plus tax and $80 for alterations. Just over 2 years later my wedding dress (also a sample) was $450+tax and bartered childcare for alterations.
My sister "needed" 3 prom dresses for high school and spent $300, $470 and $825 plus alteration costs for each and her wedding dress was a little over 3k all in.
I just wanted to say that I actually thrifted my prom dress! It was made by the design school part of the university I ended up going to and ended up in a second hand shop. I snatched that baby up for $70 and it was TOTALLY unique!
That green dress (7:46) when paired with those accessories were giving formal daytime garden party. I love it!
WOW! Those dresses are gorgeous.😍Well done!! YES to thrifted wedding gowns, YES to a thrifted Kick-A$$ wear-to-work capsule wardrobe, and YES to a thrifted beautiful vacation capsule wardrobe. You should probably just go ahead and pencil in a thrifted Back-To-School capsule wardrobe and a thrifted decorate your dorm-room video as well. You're not the only one who is addicted to thrifting. Love you, Mia!! 💖💕
The red dress with the too-high-split could be saved by putting red sequined shorts under. That would make it very dance friendly, as well.
Also, for the dresses that plunge, you can use double-sided clothing & body tape to keep it in place.
The Brown and green are STUNNING absolutely GORG!
All these dresses were very good deals! Also, that green dress was STUNNING on you, Mia! The perfect color for you. It is so kind of you to do the peom dress give away to help other people have a dress for prom.💘
I am a 24 year old married mom yet I love these prom dress videos Mia. Yes do thrifted wedding dresses! I’ve been super into thrifting bc of you lately, you have helped me get over the “ugly” lens I have at the thrift store and I’ve found some cute stuff!!
this will forever be one of my favorite series that she does. i never went to prom and have been out of school for 4 years but you best believe ima watch this whole thing
The third light green one took the cake for me, stood out with all its simplicity and just sheer elegance. It's more than a prom dress (and maybe so, knowing the brand and original price). And that's saying something coming from me who's a sparkle/glitter girl. Which is why the first dress is a close second, with its gorgeous slit and low back. 😊🥰
Omg that first dress as well as the green dress look amazing on her!! They look like they were made for her.
That first dress is ✨chefs kiss✨😗🤌
Perfect pink for her ❤❤❤❤
YESSS please thrift wedding dresses! Or Aliexress? I'm trying have a BUDGET wedding.
Yesss same!
Love your effort for all the young women always empowering and motivating them in such a fun and positive way!!🥺❤
I love the last one, it looks so classy and elegant and has that beautiful shimmer to boot 😍
I bought a $600 Jovani dress for $110 on Poshmark for my prom! And the best thing about it was it was already altered for my height, so we didn’t have to pay to hem it. My younger sister did the same thing, and she got a prom dress for $13!! Also, online thrifting tends to have so many more options than in-person thrifting, as long as you know your measurements ahead of time. Just a suggestion for people who may not have a lot of options at their local thrift store.
The last blue (Elsa) one was so pretty. I loved the green one that matched the wall too. Def the best ones in the haul!
I’m 15yrs past caring about prom dresses, but if I see Mia posted I click!
Love your channel: Perfect time frame, no useless rambling, funny, straight to the point, intriguing and enjoyable. Love your mom! She’s a joy ❤
YESSSS so glad this series is having a revival!! i can’t tell you how many times i watched ur old prom dress vids 💗
Always enjoy this kind of content. My favourites in order of preference are the deep blue, then the green and thirdly the shimmery light blue ❤❤
Every single dress looks stunning on you Mia. Words can't describe how much these dresses suit you. ❤
I honestly love the short hair on Mia, it’s so flattering!! How do you look fabulous in everything!!
OMMMGGG such a warm throwback to your earlier content Mia 🥹🫶🏼 love this! Also yes - pls do the thrifted wedding dresses as well! 🤌🏽
This video concept is so unique and useful! I really love this video because it shows that instead of buying a brand new prom dress, you can buy a thrifted one which is affordable and sustainable! ❤❤❤
I love the shiny blue one with the criss cross neckline! Wonderful video and I hope you do the thrift wedding dress video, I would love to see it. Love you, love mama maples, love your channel! ❤❤❤
I love it when you do more sustainable content because you reach so many people. Well done!
The rose gold dress has my heart ❤
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. I feel like your a postive role model for woman and young girls. I see a lot of content online nowdays that promotes unrealalistic and unattainable beauty standards to woman. Unfortunately young girls that see that kind of content don't realize that a lot of the pics are photo shopped and heavily edited. You really project body postivity and its really great to see. Your very down to earth and relatable and watching your videos puts a smile on my face. 😊 Also "Hi" to mama Maples. Beauty runs in the family both inside and out.
I don't even have prom in my country but the way you present it I can't stop myself from watching your videos. And the mint green dress is just awesome. ❤❤
The light blue is gorgeous! I would watch some thrifted wedding dresses
These dresses are so gorgeous! It's amazing what you can find when thrifting! Also, 100% yes to a thrifted wedding dress video!
Oh, I love the first two dresses. They look so good on you!
I so love your hair shoulder. It is so complementary to your face, your facial shape, your skin tone and now that you added some more blonde to it it looks better.
YES! Please thrift wedding dresses. I love these videos! Thank you Mia!!!
The saffire blue dress was gorgeous!! I think an A Line petticoat would definitely work. Would love to see thrifted wedding dresses!!
Mia you found some absolute gems! that green one looks very VERY nice on you!
I actually got my prom dress for $5 USD. now granted it had what looked like a small spaghetti stain on it (but i was going to get it cleaned anyway, and if it doesn’t come out i have other ideas) and it was a little big for my torso so I get to practice my sewing skills altering it! this is actually a fun little project for me and i’m excited! 😁
I love this stuff the green one is so GORGEOUS ON YOU the colour is Mwah 👌🏼
The blue ball gown is my fave and looks GORGEOUS on you! ❤❤❤
Oh Mia... You're the joy that I needed this week... you definitely have my heart!! Love u!!❤
I got to go to prom twice and both of my dresses were thrifted! And this was back in 2004/2005! I LOVE this!!! Great video!🎉
I used to work at a thrift store and the formal dresses we would get were always amazing!
Finally! I miss your prom dress contents which what initially draw me to your channel since 2017 ♥
The soft green one Mia❤❤ wow
The light blue dress looks so stunning on you 😍
I never went to prom, but I recently thrifted a few formal dresses to wear to weddings. It was such a fun experience and I highly recommend thrifting both in person and online. Especially for outfits you only plan on wearing a few times.
Mia was definitely the inspiration for me to start thrifting in general and she has saved my wallet a pretty penny. ❤
The first dress was so pretty on, I missed these videos from mia❤
I went to prom in 2014 and thrifted my prom dress. It had to be from the 90s. It was sooo cool, very different from everyone else’s and the style still holds up today.
Can we talk about the freaking adorable pink sweater you had on in the intro !
The first dress 😍 Love the sparkle and the back!!
