CRAP! Need a bridesmaid dress fast!

So my MOH just received her dress and it's WAY too small. It's so small there's no possible way of altering it. The only good news is I don't have bridesmaids, so she doesn't have to match anyone. The wedding is only 3 weeks away!! Anyone have experience with any online retailers? She wants to buy 3 or 4 dresses and send the ones back that she doesn't choose. We need something in sage green (or similar- but nothing apple-ish or kiwi-ish) or even a soft pink. Short or tea-length. Thanks!!

Have you tried the formal section in department stores? She could buy something off the rack.

Hit up the bridal salons and look for off the rack deals. You can get them for $50 or less most of the time.

Why don't you go shopping with her to someplace like Macy's or Nordstrom's and pick out something close to one of your colors. That way you know it fits and you both like it.

Try JCPenney's (easy to return if there is one near you) http://tinyurl.com/5wm46hb

Or Macy's http://tinyurl.com/6hf3s9j

Or Nordstrom: http://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?keyword=bridesmaid+dresses&origin=PredictiveSearch

She's looking at Nordstrom's. Part of the problem is we live in different states, so she's totally on her own. We haven't been able to find anything at regular department stores, so that's why I was asking about sites online.

I would pick out a few formals from www.gojane.com - just check the size charts carefully since they run small (I'm a 6, but wear a medium or large).

These are available in sage:

http://www.gojane.com/17815-formals-bubble-hem-cocktail-formal.html
http://www.gojane.com/12048-formals-classic-a-line-formal.html

The last one is my favorite.
