Ive been casually browsing for a few months and have nothing that I like (you know how picky i am )

I want to wear something fun and vegas-y. Dont want to spend a fortune (hopefully in the $150 range). Can be white, pink, blue, beige, ivory, etc..

Anyone have any suggestions?

Im not going until Oct...so I have a little more time. But the summer stuff is already in clearance so its not looking too good for the white dress possibilities.

As a matter of fact, right about now is when I start scoping Tristans for the sales.
If I go this weekend, I'll let you know if it's worth it.

have you looked on Ebay? I've seen some nice vintage dresses (in white/ivory - in fact everyone I like is in white or ivory which I don't want, since I was looking for something fun for a wedding)

this one's fun for Vegas (and NEW and comes in any size you want)

Liz: Thanks, let me know :D

Lisa: Thanks but that dress -while completely hot and back into fashion - isnt really my style. Are there any other white dresses worth looking at? I really **** at finding good things on ebay.

I saw someone posted a bridesmaid dress from BCBG earlier in this thread. The black one, strapless with a flower and tie around the waist. I actually just purchased that dress since I am in a wedding next month. I got it in champagne and it is really nice. Stef, I know that you said that BCBG doesn't fit you right, but you may want to try it out when you are looking around. I think it would be perfect for you!

Thanks July. I tried on that very dress and it doesnt fit me properly. It zipps up perfectly until I get to my boobs...then its a no go. BCBG is not for girls of my shape - too bad b/c its really cute.

Stef are you looking for white, ivory, cream or any of them?

Re: Help me find dress for Vegas wedding Update...thoughts on this dress?

Preferably white or ivory...but Im open to other light color if the dress is right.

Re: Help me find dress for Vegas wedding Update...thoughts on this dress?

What about this one? I have it in Black. They only have size 9 available but it runds pretty big. I am usually a 13/14 in pants and skirts, I don't have a big top. So I ordered it just to try it on, it look soooo nice I me too. I wore it to Liz's wedding, you can ask Karina, Shamma, Theresa how I looked. I didn't think it was going to fit me at all. Its only $49 at XoXo. Oh and its A line, doesn't cling to you which is good.

Re: Help me find dress for Vegas wedding Update...thoughts on this dress?

Thanks Latina...that is really nice. But I definitely need a 14 in the top. Thats the reason why the BCBG dress doesnt fit...it doesnt zip up past the boobs! (i hate that!)

Re: Help me find dress for Vegas wedding Update...thoughts on this dress?

This is me in it and you can see that I am not skinny. I was very happy the way it fit me and I couldn't believe I fit in a size 9 dress.lol.

Re: Help me find dress for Vegas wedding Update...thoughts on this dress?

Sorry it didn't help. I am usually big from the hips. Its a little stretchy too on top just incase you want to try it out. Its really kind of a slip on dress.
