Prom Dresses Under $500
Shop prom dresses under $500 with the same construction as our higher priced gowns. Every dress in this collection includes steel boning, fully lined interiors, and quality fabrics.

Why Prom Dresses Under $500
Prom dresses under $500 at Jovani use the same construction as our higher-priced gowns, including steel boning, fully lined interiors, and quality fabrics. The difference in price comes from simpler silhouettes and less hand-beading, not cheaper materials or shortcuts on fit. A $400 Jovani dress has more internal structure than most $800 dresses from fast fashion brands because we don’t cut corners on what holds the dress together.
Fabrics Under $500
Satin prom dresses work well in this price range because the fabric has natural weight and sheen that looks expensive without added embellishment. Tulle prom dresses give you volume and movement at a lower cost than beaded or sequined gowns. Both fabrics show construction quality clearly, so you can see the difference between a lined, boned bodice and a cheap unstructured one.
Simple prom dresses in quality fabric often look more expensive than heavily decorated dresses made with cheaper materials. Clean seams, hidden zippers, and finished interiors matter more than surface details.
