Finding a stylish yet affordable dress for homecoming can be a fun challenge. Here are some tips on where and how to find short homecoming dresses for under $60:

1. **Online Retailers:**
- **Amazon** – Offers a variety of dresses at different price points. You can find some great deals, especially if you have Amazon Prime for free shipping.
- **ASOS** – Look for sales and clearance items. ASOS often has trendy dresses at lower prices.
- **Zaful** and **Shein** – These sites offer very budget-friendly options. Be sure to check customer reviews and size charts carefully, as sizing can vary.

2. **Department Stores:**
- **JCPenney**, **Macy's**, **Kohl's**, and **Target** often have sales, especially at the end of a season. Check their clearance racks or online clearance sections.
- **TJ Maxx** and **Ross** – These stores offer discounted designer clothing. The inventory is hit or miss, but you might find a gem.

3. **Specialty Stores:**
- **Forever 21**, **H&M**, and **Charlotte Russe** offer trendy options at lower price points. Keep an eye out for sales and promotional events.

4. **Thrift Stores and Consignment Shops:**
- These can be great places to find unique dresses at heavily discounted prices. It might take some hunting, but finding a one-of-a-kind dress at a bargain could be worth the effort.

5. **Online Marketplaces:**
- **eBay** and **Poshmark** are good for second-hand or even new dresses. You can find some really good deals if you search carefully.
- **Facebook Marketplace** and local sale groups can also be good resources. Sometimes people sell new or nearly new dresses at a fraction of the original cost.

6. **Rent the Runway:**
- Although mostly known for higher-end rentals, they sometimes offer specials that might fit within your budget, especially if you consider that higher quality for the same price might be worth it for a special occasion.

7. **Sales and Coupons:**
- Signing up for newsletters from your favorite stores can be a good way to receive coupons and be alerted about sales.
- Check if there are any upcoming sales events (like Black Friday, back-to-school, etc.) when dresses might be discounted.

8. **DIY Customizations:**
- If you find a simple dress within your budget, consider adding custom touches like belts, sequins, or a tailored fit. This can make an inexpensive dress look like a designer piece.

Always remember to check the return policy when buying a dress, especially if you’re purchasing online. This ensures you can return the dress if it doesn’t meet your expectations or fit properly.
