Anyone else having a hard time finding a Shower/RD dress?**Went looking today with NO luck!

I'm beginning to think that I am never going to find a dress I like! I have searched around so many places. Is anyone else having a hard time?

I just started looking and everything i like they don't have my size grr lol. The GAP outlet at Riverhead had alot of cute dresses maybe you should try looking there.

Do you have in mind what you want to wear, or you have no idea? I find two really great dresses at White House Black Market last week.

I stressed and stressed over a shower dress, and I didnt even end up putting it on! My shower was a surprise and I was late so I didnt want to miss a minute of my shower, so I ended up keeping my jeans on lol. I ended up finding one at Mandees which I am returning

That's my problem...I have something in mind and can't find it! I just feel like dresses are cut so weird nowadays. Either they are super short or cut in a way that makes me look preggers!

I had some trouble. I bought ans returned one dress from J Crew and one from Macy's. I ended up with one from the BCBG outlet.

Re: Anyone else having a hard time finding a Shower/RD dress?

I actually went out today to find my shower dress - and came home empty handed.

I bought the perfect rehearsal dinner dress at a store in downtown sayville. I can't find a pic of it online.

I went to every store in the south shore mall and kohls today for a shower dress and got nothing. I want to buy the dress, give it to my mom, be surprised at my shower, and change into it...

I don't know where to look now.

I'm not sure how much you want to spend, but Nordstroms has some gorgeous dresses. Are you looking for a black/white dress or something with more color to it. This is more of a casual dress, but I found it online at Nordstroms...119 dollars.

Re: Anyone else having a hard time finding a Shower/RD dress?

What are you looking for? I saw a cute white dress at White House Black Market (and a few other cute dresses.) I posted a pic of the white dress about two days ago. Dress Barn which has this reputation for being an old persons store (but is so NOT) has a ton of cute dresses if you go to the larger stores. I have just bought a bunch of honeymoon dresses and my shower dress.

Re: Anyone else having a hard time finding a Shower/RD dress?

This first dress is what I really wanted to get, but it was over 200 dollars. Then, I found this second dress, but waited too long and now Nordstroms only has it in big sizes. So, I think I am going to wear this dress that I bought last year. It's really pretty and the only person who has seen me in it is my MOH b/c I wore it on our cruise together last summer.

Re: Anyone else having a hard time finding a Shower/RD dress?

that white dress is cute. I was hoping to find a white one for the RD and a colorful one for my shower.

ITA about Dress Barn! I felt the same way until last year my mom dragged me there and I couldn't BELIEVE the cute stuff they had! I have to date bought three dresses and a bunch of tops from there as well. I always recommend going there for ladies looking for dresses!

I just picked up this from Spiegel.com yesterday, but I never purchased from them before, so I am not sure how it is going to fit/look in person.

I have a ton of Dress Barn clothes and I get compliments on my dresses and tops from there ALL the time. My e-party dress was from Dress Barn and I have some amazingly cute tops from there. Even pants. I bought pants for student teaching there and I have gotten compliments on them too. I highly recommend it, but its hit or miss. Sometimes you go in and its all older, other times my mom can't shop there and I clean up. It also depends on the store, each store picks what they will and will not carry.

Re: Anyone else having a hard time finding a Shower/RD dress?

yeah so i'm officially OVER finding a dress! I shopped for hours today, tried on a ton of dresses and hated every one of them!!! I even went into stores that I never go in, just to keep an open mind. Maybe I should just buy fabric, get out the ole sewing kit and make my own dress!
