Macy's is supposed to have a huge sale this week. Why don't you try there.

I agree. I would wear a dress. But if you absolutely don't want to spend the money, then get a fancier top for the pantsuit. You might be surprised at the deals you can get on a long dress. Try JC Penny. They have a 'formal' section that's not too outrageously priced.

I tend to agree with the rest - great suit, but not quite appropriate for a BTO wedding....

L&T is having some great sales, as is Macy's...

I have to agree w/the majority. I would definitely wear a dress.
As someone suggested, the Lord and Taylor clearance center on Hempstead Tpke, you could find dresses that were originally $200 for like $30. You just have to look, I always get the best deals there.

Good Luck
