January wedding/look for less
Permalink Closed

Dress me for a January wedding, please! :) I had a few dresses I was trying to decide between and then I talked to the bride and she clearly has a preference that her guests wear long gowns, which sent me back to the drawing board.

So let's see, it will pretty formal and fancy, at 6 p.m. in midtown Atlanta. I don't care at all about whether the dress is "wintery" since the wedding and reception are the same place so i won't have to go outside much and they have a coat check. I was thinking blue, but I don't know. Mainly it must be long. :)

To give you an idea, I looooove this dress, but sadly, I don't not have $700 to blow at the moment. I'm really looking at under $200. But I love that it's kind of slinky without being slutty.

I realize this is a tall order, but anything you gals can find would be awesome!!

Have you looked in Macys recently? The one local to me had a huge selection of long gowns on clearance.

I suppose that it's the bride's call as to the formality of the wedding, but it kind of irks me that she would insist on her guests wearing floor length dresses (which means that most people will have to buy a new dress.  I know I don't have anything but cocktail length ones.)  But that's neither here nor there.

 

I found these at Nordstrom

Nice finds, Boots! I especially like the 1st (sequin embroidery on the waist) & the 2nd one - 1 shoulder silver strap!

Thanks, ladies! I love all the ones you posted Boots! I must not know how to use Nordstrom's website because I didn't see any of those! And I went poking around for more CK dresses and found this one that should be delivered tonight so we'll see if it works! If not, now I have some options to look out for...and will check Macy's too. Thanks! :)

Oh, and Boots, I do agree with you and was especially surprised since it's so unlike her to be like that and the invitation didn't say anything. If it had said black tie optional or something I might have even understood. Oh well, I don't have any short dresses I like for this so I'd have to buy something anyway.

In case you are still looking....

I have this dress and I have to say I LOOVE it. The fit is a bit big so size down but I think it is very flattering

It's about $178 at Nordies but I just found it for $106 on sale at Dillards!!
