So little time!

Micaiah, on June 20, 2019 at 11:19 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9
25 days away.
FFIL has just offered to buy me a reception dress if I choose to wear one. I am wearing my mom's dress already. Don't get me wrong, I love her dress. It's just not the dress I would've chosen had I gone out to pick one. It means so much to get to wear her dress, though.
But now I have the opportunity to get one of my choice for the reception. However, there is such little time!!! Does anyone know of a place to get a dress in such little time? I would like to keep it pretty cheap, like a white bridesmaid dress or something. Also, I would love a tied/corset back so that I won't need alterations. I love corsets anyway. HELP

    Someone told me that prom shops are a great place to find reception dresses! Also, can’t go wrong with online shops. You can find a lot for under $100.00, buy two sizes and send whichever one doesn’t work back! Best of luck shopping!

    A lot of places that sell prom dresses usually have white ones. Also if you go to a shop and buy your size off the rack you don't need to have it ordered and shipped.

    Check Lulus and ASOS, both usually have a lot of choices and reasonable prices. They both ship pretty quickly so that shouldn’t be a problem.

    Check with David’s Bridal or call around to local shops to see if they have off the rack dresses. I would do this ASAP in case you need alterations

    Try looking at white pageant dresses. There are some amazing ones even in the 300-550 range. Sherri Hill, Jovani.

    I just bought this dress from Fashion Nova for less than $50! It hasn't come in yet so idk how it would fit but it has great reviews!

    And then there are these options under $300 with corset back.

    BHLDN has a dress section specifically for "last minute brides", maybe you could find something there?
