  I was going to say there's probably not a big market for maternity prom gowns, but then I changed my mind. There probably is, actually.

  ETA: What's your budget? I bet there's some cute semi-formals out there. Maybe Ann Taylor Loft?

  I don't want to spend a ton, since I'll probably just wear it the one time, you know?

  But for now I just want to look at stuff and get ideas, so I'm open. There's a pea in the pod dress I LOVE but I'm not spending $150 on a one-time maternity formal!

  I'm 5'4, so I usually have to get things shortened, I'm wondering if there's a possibility I'll be able to just get a flowy non-maternity dress? Or if it will look super funny on me once I'm that big!

  I'd be worried about a non-maternity dress getting too short in the front, but I guess if you're getting it hemmed anyway it wouldn't be a problem.

  I would check out ebay.  They are a hit-or-miss thing.  I've been looking for a dress for my SIL's wedding and some days I see a lot that I like and then a week or 2 later there's nothing.  It might at least give you some ideas.

  Eeee prom!  My cousin wore a lot of flowy long dresses (non-maternity) when she was pregnant and I though she looked great.

  Depending on how much you want to spend, you could rent.  A friend recommended this site to me: https://www.rentmaternitywear.com/

  Isabella Oliver has a bunch of stuff on sale right now, and there are a few gowns.  I got a pretty good deal on a cute cocktail dress that I think might actually work post-pregnancy.
