Any Good Places to Buy BM dresses off Rack?!

As some of you have followed my other bm dress saga post, it looks like we'll have to end up buying off the rack for my wedding next Saturday

Can anyone suggest good places to go. I know we can do online Ann Taylor (but would like to try them on). They only have an 'occassions' line in the Madison Ave. store & Westchester.

If at all possible I'd like to stick to the same color (slate blue) as everything else is wrapped around this (jewelry, flowers, accessories, etc.)

Pls. Help

This was the COLOR (not the dress)

2nd pic is the dress.

The girls have paid in full, but I'm sure will get their $ back....

I'm trying to tell myself to stay calm, but its so upsetting.....
I was told the dresses could be rush but we would not get them until FRIDAY of next week!!!!:

I agree with Nordstrom's. Also Bloomingdale's, Saks, and even Macy's all have things out right now that would be good. Did you get your girls' $$ back? I'm so sorry Cin!!! They'll be beautiful no matter what!

Are most of these stores at Roos. Field? Or else I was going to make a run to the L&T in Huntington.

Re: Any Good Places to Buy BM dresses off Rack?!

DEFINITELY try Estelles, too.
I had posted about L&T, but I didn't see many blue dresses... That was at the one in the Bay Shore mall, though.
Good luck!

Try Macys. My mom said they had a lot of stuff, she got her MOB dress there today
I wish L&T clearance center was still around, but I am pretty sure they all closed. I got BM dress there for a wedding a few years ago that were gorgeous and only about $35

Def. try Macys. I would also try David's Bridal. I know that most of you are against David's but they have a lot on the racks. It's worth a try.

Sorry this happened to you.
