I posted last week, that I have two weddings to attend - one on May 20 and the other in July. As you all know, I really want this dress:
However, I just placed it in my shopping bag @ Nordie's and it's backordered w/an approximate ship date of May 14 - the 1st wedding is May 20
What do I do now? Hope that it comes b4 then - I know Nordie's is notrorious for doing that, but what if it didn't ship in time? Do I buy another dress as a backup in case?
If yes to buying another dress, could you girls post some other options, or has anyone seen this dress anywhere else, other than Nordie's? It's by Bari Jay. Thanks girls!
I'm sorry to hear about the dress issue! I don't want to point out the obvious or anything, but Nordstrom does have a similar one on their site:
I've been eyeing this dress frmo Anthropologie for a long time. It's not exactly the same, of course, but it's similar and could work for what you need it to, for sure. $185 at Anthro Maybe you'll be lucky & they'll have your size!
Bluefly also has a bunch of appropriate dresses: $264 $207 $178
Have you called to see if it is carried in a store and not just online? Maybe they have one and could send it to you. I know Macy's does this, but not sure of Nordstrom's.

Well... I can tell you what I'd do. I'd wait until the wedding to see if it ships early. In the meantime, I'd get a backup dress and keep the tags on it.
That's what I'm thinking - do you guys like either of the other two options (same dress in black, or halter style) as the backup? Or maybe better?
Thanks for the response. I actually think I'm going to order the black - I'm really pale and I think it would work better w/my skin tone than the gold anyhow..i was worried about that washing me out.

ITA -- that's exactly what I'd do. The dress is gorgeous -- I hope you get it in time!
I like the gold halter Bari Jay as an alternative best, but the black one is pretty too. I personally wouldn't worry about wearing black since it has the gold underlay. I would definately get a backup dress and order the original one and hope for the best.
I agree. I think black for a wedding is absolutely fine. As long as you don't look like you're going to a funeral -and there's no way you could in that dress- it will be fine. I think it's really elegant, plus it has that pretty mocha-gold under it that makes it not a black.
