Prom is quite possibly one of the biggest nights of a teenager's life. While every aspect is indeed important, nothing quite comes close to the most important question - what dress should I wear? From bold to fun, to thrifty, to ridiculously over-the-top expensive, the prom brings out an array of couture and trendsetters, all hoping to be the best-dressed and the envy of anybody and everybody who happens to see them.
Some teens, however, decided to take a different approach, and dig out their mom's vintage prom dresses to put their own spin on it, showing us that our mothers really do know best.
