The $13,997 Prom Dress By DressGoddess: Most Expensive Prom Dress Ever? (PHOTOS, POLL)

Ah, prom. The corsages, the awkward photos, the begging to stay out past curfew, the $14,000 dress.

Hold up. The $14,000 dress? That's right, mom and dad. Racked has drawn our attention to "The $13,997 Prom Dress" (okay, we rounded up) by DressGoddess made "with an assortment of genuine diamonds valued at more than $13,000 and hand sewn throughout the bodice of the dress." It also "epitomizes striking Hollywood glamour" and "ensures a memorable entrance and exit at any prom."

For those girls who think The $13,997 Prom Dress is a bit much, there's also a $398 "La Femme 15987" version. Downgrade!

Take a look and tell us what you think.

Some people waste $75k on birthday parties for 6 year olds. Someone will buy this dress.

At least it isn't a barely-there dress...like what some kids try to wear to the prom.

Moms, dads, this prom season get a start on schooling your children in the entirely not-subtle art of conspicuous consumption!

Outrageous over-indulgence for a prom dress, I wonder what the parents are over compensating for?

All the brats who were on that MTV Super Sweet 16 show are all going to show up in the same dress at prom this year.

This is where the tax cuts are going to, not to create jobs.
