Bensalem company offers gem-studded prom dresses

    This is not the sort of prom dress that will end up crushed in the back of the closet after its night on the town.

    A Bensalem company is selling dresses with diamond detailing – real diamonds. DressGoddess.com features frocks customized with more than $13,000 worth of real diamonds hand sewn throughout the bodice, according to Phillyburbs.com.

    The one-of-a-kind designs are going for about $14,000.

    DressGoddess.com owner Jon Liney said he came up with the idea for such an expensive prom dress as a way to stand out from the competition.
