I have a wedding to go to in August (see post in General section for all the details) and I need a dress for the black-tie, evening wedding. My dilemma is cost. It will be a very fancy soiree and I need something that looks uber-quality, although I don't want to spend a lot of money. These are some dresses I've found that I like, although the price is a bit much. Maybe they'll be on sale by August? Anyone have any suggestions or know of any similar, less-expensive finds?
Also, quite frankly, I'm not certain what to wear for a black-tie event. I don't want floor-length and I want to be able to wear it again.
I love the vintage-y feel of #2 and think it would be perfectly appropriate for a black tie wedding. You could glam it up with the right jewelry, a killer pair of shoes, and a wrap/shawl. I also like #3 a lot but think #2 is the most fun.
Here are some that might work - I think if you go with a fancier fabric and maybe a nice silky wrap and killer evening sandals, you won't have to worry about going full-length.
$128$128$158
$168$188
$148$129
$125$80
$200$99
$120$118
$68$78$78
$98$108$118

LOTS to choose from out there right now!

I just bought this one from Nordstrom online. It ships out on 6/15 so I'll let you know how it goes. I tried on the other style that NCShopper has posted before but I was popping out of the dress. This one looks a tad higher and like you can wear it again. Its $78.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My fingers can reach, when the perfect dress is out of sight And you find its being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most urgent need, for a dress that fits just right That I can wear for the black-tie night. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old frocks, and with my stylethread's faith.
I love, love, love this one:
And can I just say - what is up with this model's mouth?
