I'm having such a moment!
Permalink Closed

I cannot, no matter how hard I try, remember the name of a catalogue/website store. It's a cheapie place and the only thing I remember about it is that a few years ago some girls bought a red print shirtdress from there and it had a "five ways" or "five days" or something like that feature on its website.

My mom is looking for a MOB dress (actually aunt of the bride but close enough) and doesn't want to spend very much since she'll probably never wear it again. I was trying to think of places that would sell clothes appropriate for older women that aren't very expensive and that place came to mind only I can't remember what it's called!

I think there might have been a link on ST for it at one time but I can't be sure...

Any thoughts?

TIA!

Newport News! That's it! Thanks sooo much. I have no idea if they have something appropriate for a wedding but for a one-time wear for an older lady, they might fit the bill!

Okay I looked and... nope, not cool for a mom. Or for many people for that matter. Any ideas for a MOB-type dress (must be long and preferably have a jacket) under $100? It's a tall task, for sure.

actually they have quite a few around $100, but I'm not a huge fan of most of them...

From overstock:


$115

Shoot, I found some cute ones, but they're knee length hmm.gif.  Colors?  Evening or day?  Size-ish?

You guys are awesome! I'm sending all of these options to her. The wedding is an evening wedding and she won't wear black, so that's the only consideration, color-wise. Oh and for sizes, I'm guessing 10 or 12 but it probably depends on the dress. (She's bigger on bottom so a bigger size for straight skirts most likely.)

I'd try some outlet malls too - Norstrom Rack or an Off Fifth.  They have these types of dreeses for holidays, but they are on clearance in January - you may be able to find a good dress under $100

The more matronly version of NN is chadwicks.com, so that could be an option under the circumstances.

And I totally knew what you meant when you referenced the red shirtdress!
