Lulu’s is a great online store that even has a section dedicated to graduation dresses. Just sort it by the price you want, and then scroll to find your dream dress. Try the Love Poem Yellow Lace Dress. You’ve survived the all-nighters, the 10 to 15 page papers, those horrendous 8 a.m.s, and, not to mention, finals week, you deserve this dress.
When choosing a graduation dress, always remember that it should reflect you and all your hard work, and don’t be afraid to spend a little more for quality because you only graduate from Penn State once!
