CHEAP & CHIC: Homecoming Dresses for Under $50

Pickin’ the perfect dress can be slightly less than a party. This year, we make finding a fantastic fall dress wayyy easier. GL has handpicked the best homecoming dresses to flatter any body type under the price of $50.
Your bod: A teeny waist and curvy hips.
Look for: Dresses that nip in the middle and bit of poof in the skirt. Tops with structure add to the bust if ya need it!
Pass by: Shift dresses (or any number that's straight up 'n' down) won't do anything to show off your cute curves!
