Dress to wear to a wedding...

[georgi]

I have 3 weddings to go to this year. One in March, one in June, and one in September. I want to get one dress that would be appropriate to wear to all 3 so I don't have to buy 3 different ones. I have no clue where to look. I want something that's maybe knee length. Not TOO dressy, but not a sundress. Any ideas on where to look? I hate dress and shoe shopping! :ravn:

Check out eBay. If you're looking to spend a little more check out j.Crew. Wetseal is sometimes a good place to look too. Delias? Forever 21 sometimes has cute things.

[Sunny Sunshine]

Oh, J Crew has a lot of really cute dresses on sale :)

[Erinisme]

filene's basement! (tuesday morning, marshall's tj maxx)

Get somthing in a neutral color beige or taupe and get acesories that will spice it up for each event like a scarf around the neck or waist...a few bags....ect!

Macy's also has a pretty good collection of dresses, and if you get there when the sale is right it's totally reasonable :)

[Sunny Sunshine]

Let me know if you find something cute lady, I need a few new dresses too.

Oh! What about Old Navy??

took the words outa my mouth

The sale racks at Macys/JCPenny/ or any of those dept stores.

Terlet get a black tea length dress w/ either spaghetti straps or short sleeves that way in the colder months you can get a wrap or something and in the warmer ones you can not sweat to death. :wink:

[georgi]

J.Crew was the first place I looked, and yeah...not spending $180 on a dress, and besides, I didn't really like any of them. Not me. Hmph.

something along these lines??

ooh i like that last one...and i own one VERY close to the overstock one shown in brown and black and i really like it. it's good for any season (with a wrap) and always wedding-appropriate.

oh and i love the strapless one, the first one Tatum posted. i want to get something like that this year for the boardie weddings i have coming up :)

that's almost exactly like my teal polka dot one (different bottom) that I wore to my cousin's wedding in september. I love that dress :) I got it at Macy's

[lost-in-boston]

no shit I thought it looked familiar :lol:
so cute, best style for Georgi's hot long legs.
<~~so jealous of long stems :(

[georgi]

Omg, Terlet! Thank you!!! Those are all so cute! I'm totally going to investigate them when I get home. :Phishfolk:

[Jersey Thug]

Georgi you could totally rock that halter style. just sayin'. :)

[lost-in-boston]

Omg, Terlet! Thank you!!! Those are all so cute! I'm totally going to investigate them when I get home. :Phishfolk:


anytime sugapie, I'm having a rough day and needed the distraction
and these are things I'd wear if I didn't have little shrubs for legs :blush:
:ravn:

[georgi]

Georgi you could totally rock that halter style. just sayin'. :)

I have linebacker shoulders, though. :joker:

I'm a beast! :lol:

[lost-in-boston]

omg you SO ARENT a beast.
You're tall, but certainly not built like a line backer! :ravn:
DONT YOU TALK ABOUT MY TERLET LIKE THAT!
:ravn:

[sure-ur-rightdancer]

I have linebacker shoulders, though. :joker:

I'm a beast! :lol:

NO way!!!! number one you are so tiny now that I probably won't even recognize you if I saw you and number two almost everyone looks sexy in a halter top.... just get wide straps and it will make you look all curvy and sexy!


and I have to recommend black too..... so classic, timeless and can be for any season.... in the spring/ summer pair it with a bright pink or blue and in the winter a jewel tone

Ok, I think we have a winner! :Phishfolk:

It comes in green! :bliss:

[lost-in-boston]

YAY!!!
the style is an all season style.
I'm just partial to black bc I have lots to hide :blush:
glad you found something...and it was under $100 right??
:)

[georgi]

Yes, yes it is!!! :Phishfolk:

I almost wonder if I should get it in black...but you know me and green! :funny1:

I could get a little white cardigan, or a black cardigan. Ooh ooh ooh I'm excited! :bliss:

[Erinisme]

also try dress barn, beleive it or not they have some great dresses sometimes...not all old lady stuff!

[Mama Kel]

i've always done well in Lord & Taylor - they can be pricey but have great deals too - especially when they have sales.

I got my bridesmaids dresses there for $100

[musicmomma]

i wore my bubbie's dress from the 50's just like this for a prom!! :heart:
oh this one is nice too

I'm still dressless. :ravn:

[wabbit]

I'm still dressless. :ravn:

What dress did you wear for Slave's wedding? I assume that was your march wedding and I know you weren't naked!!! :funny1: Can that one be recycled for the other weddings?

:heart:

[wabbit]

do you like ann taylor loft??

[wabbit]

Ok, this is adorable and I just so happen to have 25 dollars in virtual dollars to use in April.. If you love this, I could charge it on my limited card..and use my virtual dollars to take $25 off.. You could wear a cute pink cardigan to cover up when you wish

ok, totally unrelated to a dress, but this skirt is awesome.. that could always be an option with a really nice black button down sweater

http://www.thelimited.com/items/ltd/images/medium/7085881_206.jpg


I have this in the pink and blue colors.. They are so flattering and the little gather on the shoulders is so cute, just makes you look really feminine and adorable.. The black with the skirt would be really classy, yet dress down enough for you to boogie and have fun

I think this one is still a winner, although I like that cute one you posted, Wabbit...the black & pink with the polka dots. :) I've only been in Ann Taylor to buy giftcards for other people...never for myself. :blush:

The dress I wore to Jay & Jenny's was a last minute of the closet decision, and I wasn't too comfortable in it because it was kind of shortish, and it was tight because I'm fat. :lol:

[Jersey Thug]

you're crazy :lmao:

you looked beautiful. i liked the green. just glad i changed MY mind about what to wear as it was also a green/white/black floral :lol:

[georgi]

I would have loved to have been your twin!!! :heart:

thats such a cute dress, i love it!

[bast]

Love the strapless one also.
I'm having the same dilemma, my s/o's cousin this weekend and another cousins wedding is in June.

I have a dress for this weekend, a beautiful simple black Alberto Makali, so classy, but I tried it on last night and I need to drop a few pounds to have it fit perfect.... so I'm fasting, uugghh.

Dandelion, Marigold, and green tea steeped with a dash of honey to keep me sane for breakfast lunch and dinner till Sunday! Fun!:rolleyes:

[georgi]

I'm ascurd to order online. I don't want to get the wrong size, wait for it for 3 weeks, then put it on to find out I'm a moose, then ship it back, and start from the beginning again. I suppose I could have Rich use the measuring tape on me, but who wants their s/o to do that? :lol:

[lil pixi]

Remember, when chossing apparel to attend a wedding in, throwing one of these into the mix always goes off as a hit....
Make sure you're sitting/standing in front of everyone else too. :lol:

This one's even better....

:lol: :tongue1:

[Luna]

I have this problem too. I have one in June and one August. I have a black J Crew dress but i want something with color for a change


and georgi i think the dress you picked in green would be beautiful -- w/ no cardigan. You have a great shape show it off!

[georgi]

You just made my day. :heart:

I've been having a moosey feeling week. Thanks lady. :heart:

[Sunny Sunshine]

I agree :heart:

And you only have 7 weeks left to figure it out lady!! :crazy:

[Sunny Sunshine]

I got this dress for my bridal shower :)

That's adorable!! I love it! :rose:

[bsktcase]

Adorable dress, Tiffany!

I noticed this week that Marshall's is stocking up on some cute dresses. Also, Dress Barn had some ADORABLE ones!

[georgi]

I'm one of those people that find jack shit at Marshall's and TJ's. I never have luck! I don't know why! Everybody and their Grandma can go in there and walk out with 80 things. Me? Nothing. :crook:

[HoopsTer]

I only find stuff at Marshalls and TJs when I DONT have money...when I do, NOTHING :ravn:

[bsktcase]

Well, to add complaint to the Marshall's issue....when I went looking for a dress the other day, I found nothing there. I did buy a clutch purse though.

A few days later, I found a dress at Dress Barn and went to return the clutch purse to Marshall's.....dresses that weren't there just a few days before were suddenly there. It IS aggravating.:dunno:
