And by "cheap", I mean inexpensive... not skanky!

Estelle's? Roosevelt Field?



For what sort of event?

Re: Best place to buy cheap dresses?

I've gotten really nice, cheap dresses at Marshall's or TJMaxx.

I got one at Marshall's for $20...

I got a nice black strapless one from Ann Taylor on sale for $40 for another wedding.

H&M?

I got a nice little black dress there last year for a wedding and it was only $35 (maybe less). It looked really cute & well-made even though it really was a cheap stretchy PoG.

Thanks Beth!



I need cute shoes too!



Hey pipsqueak ... what size are you? I have this great black satin two piece from LOFT (the skirt has this ivory embroidered flower on one side) - size 4 (I'm allowed to dream I will someday lose 40lbs and be a 4 again ).

I think I'm a 0, but maybe a 2 depending on how the clothes are cut.



My 0 & 2's are long gone!!

Too bad I don't still have this gem to lend you!!!

Re: Best place to buy cheap dresses?

I buy dresses just to buy them soemtimes.

I have had luck at Macy's, Loehmann's, Marshall & Filene's Basement.
Loehamns is tricky though, b/c some of the stuff is marked waaay down, like from $750 to $300. They have some non-designer stuff & clearance stuff that is very cheap.

I also bought a dress for a wedding at H & M, but in retrospect, it was kinda flimsy.

ETA-- Nice dress, Wendy! It looks similar to my green senior prom dress.

I found a little black halter dress at Forever 21 that I wore to 3 evening weddings. Sometimes you luck out, esp if you are a 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
