Ok so i have a black tie wedding to attend this saturday and i need to find a long dress. Theres one store i know i'd find something but they are real pricey and cant spend that now lol. I have looked at bloomies, macy's, nordstroms, lord and taylor, unique-vintage and cant really find anything. Are there any other stores anyone can recommend, sites i can look at. Also doesnt help that ive gained weight
ive seen these dresses so far but not sure about them
and this black one is nice too but not 100% sure of it.
this one is nice but doesnt look like the top will fit me at all

That's good there's a full refund, keep us posted on how the dress looks when you get it.

Posted by Espo22 Ill try austin street first and hopefully find something there. If not i have to start the mad hunt. I always wait until the last minute and drive myself crazy.
The Loehmann's on Queen's Blvd isn't that far from Austin Street at all - it's on 64th Road and Queen's Blvd. so maybe you can do both in one day. I've never been to the Loehmann's but they might have something there.

I know it might be a long shot, but I'm on my way to Dots, sometimes they have cute dresses...I'll keep my eyes open for you!!
where is dots?
I don't know where you are, but you can locate one on dots.com
I looked and they did have a couple of cute dresses...so you might want ot check them out if you have time. They're website shows some of their stuff, but they have a lot in the store too. They're very inexpensive, but I get a lot of stuff from them and it holds up OK. Good luck!!
PS, the Dots I go to are in East Northport, right on Jericho, or there's also one in Central Islip (sometimes I go there cause it's near my job)

What about Stineway St? I know there used to be a few dress stores. I haven't been there in a long time.

Have you stopped into century 21? They always have a lot of dresses.
Maybe look at Voctorias Secret online.
ETA: Also look on Overstock.com, Blufly, White House / Black Market (new store in Roosevelt field too). Bloomingdales if you havn't already. Smartbargains.com.

oz boutique is way overpricedd.. i kno thats prob the store ur talking bout..lol try it anyway.. sometimes they have sales..and i knwo theres a store like a block away that has a lott of long dresses.
also try great neck.. midleneck rd.. its a long shot..but u never know... but they will prob be closed this week cuz of the jewish holiday..actually..maybe most stores on austin street will be closed...just the heads up lol
thats exactly the store i was talking about so funny. I bought my e-party dress there and a dress for NYE, its different to spend that much for an event for yourself but right now not going to spend $700 on a dress to attend a wedding lol. Yeah i know which one youre talking about, the salespeople annoy me but that might be a good option, their dresses arent as expensive. I just have to make sure i dont walk by OZ lol
OH NO thats right, the stores on austin street do close, thanks for the heads up
you should wear your dress from your engagement party- that would be perffect! And it would save you $$$

Try davids Bridal they have tons of long dresses you can buy off the rack! or what about Estells in farming dale??
the thing im afraid with at davids bridal is if i will look too bridesmaidy, since i dont know what type of bm dress they have i dont want to risk getting anything close to it. I can try estelle's i guess. Maybe one night i can make it to farmingdale.
I dont want to spend ALOT, like the store i mentioned the dresses start at $500-600 and up. But willing to spend $200-300 ill use a card lol
i would think you could get something at L&T for that for sure. I won't spend more than $300 on a dress. they have a black dress shop too for formal... I have coupons if you need.
I do well at bcbg, century 21 (westbury, NOT manhattan I hate that one) and I got my eparty dress (casual though) at annie sez in merrick.

I got a long dress for a wedding at David's bridal and it wasn't bridesmaid-y. It actually was made by another company they just happened to sell it. I would check it out-I got my dress around this time last year at the Westbury location. Good luck! Also, have you tried Cache? They have them in a lot of malls on LI but I'm not sure about Queens.

I love OZ but yes they are expensive. It may be too late but maybe for the next wedding coming up, you can go to the store or search the internet (I love Jovani!) and get the serial # (if you go to the store and try it on-you'll know your size) and ebay it. I once went to OZ and a dress I loved was $550 not including tax and at the time it was a lil ove rmy budget and I just decided to google it on ebay and I found the same color/size for $300!! Sssshhhhh don't tell anyone my secret...

Do you have a White House/Black Market by you? They have great dresses and they're not too overpriced.
