Bridesmaids dress ASAP

Laura2.0, on February 8, 2017 at 10:01 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 23

So my MOH was pregnant when the other girls purchased their dresses and she just had twins a few weeks ago!!!! They are the cutest little peanuts. Anyway she's settled in and ready to go dress shopping this weekend, but the initial dress she wanted from David's Bridal won't get here in time. Do you guys have any suggestions on other places we can go where can can get dresses off the rack or where it doesn't take as long to order. We can order online with expedited shipping, but she needs to try dresses on she's not sure what size she is. I'm in Boston FYI (GO PATS)

    Maybe Macy's? Check out their bridesmaid dresses online. They have Adriana Papell and she could go in store to try them on.

    It only took 2 weeks for my bridesmaids dresses to come back from Davids Bridal...maybe she can pick another style and get one off the rack at Davids Bridal

    Depending on the style, you may get a dressin time from Davids..one of my bridsmaid's dresses came in 4 days after the appt, but we got my neice a different style cause she is younger and it has already been 2 months and still no dress. I would see what they available for her off the rack or available for quick ship.

    Depending on your color and whether you want her in the same color, it may be hard to get a dress from a different store if the other girls got theirs from davids

    I would definitely look at Nordstrom and Macy's. Nordstrom is pricier, but if you just head for the sale rack, you can really find something great!

    In my experience, DB usually gives the worst case scenario for dress ship times. If you don't want to risk it then Macy's is probably the way to go. You can buy a swatch of the color from DB to make sure it matches or doesn't clash.

    It's good that she's your MOH because if she can't get the other dress the girls have it won't look out of place .

    My girls ordered theirs from Lulus - they turned out great and they have a good return policy.

    I'd check Macy's or other department stores but the color won't quite match if your other girls ordered from Davids. I'd check online for a used dress from Davids or look online at their rush/ready to ship dresses. Can she order a different dress of theirs (David's) in the same color?

    Look for a wedding resale Facebook group in your area. my one bridesmaid just got the dress she wanted from David's Bridal (which was 170 in store) for $100. The dress still had the tags on it and was only worn for a few hours!

    The color is black so it won't be hard to match. The other girls' dresses are black with lace tops and some of them are in strapless some are in one shoulder. So I think as long as we find a long black dress with lace even if its different it'll be ok since she's the moh

    I second Macy's, JC Penny, maybe even somewhere like rent the runway? Idk what their shipping times are like!!

    But also the FB group is the best idea! Even just checking the marketplace!

    Go Pats!! (from Alabama) i would definitely check macy's! I remember seeing several that had lace incorporated into the dress and that way she could have a better chance of trying them on in the store!

    Go to Rent the runway - it's cheap and you have lots of options! You rent a dress and It arrives at your door ready to wear. Quick delivery and you can rush if needed I believe. Just read reviews on dress before you order to get an idea of a good fit! Good luck

    Try Lulus.com!! Ours came in in like 4 or 5 days!! She can't go in and try it on but there's plenty of time to order and if it doesn't work return and order something else. They have free shipping and free returns within 10 days. Good luck!!
