Elyse Monroe, 18, drove six hours with her family to a Juicy Body Goddess boutique to find her dream dress for her school prom.

The girl tried on many dress designs, from a black dress with a sparkly one-shoulder strap to an orange floaty gown.

She finally found the dress she loved the most with a sparkly purple color. However, the gown was worth far beyond her $400 budget.
