Where to buy an inexpensive second dress...

I want a second dress because I am seeing my FH before our ceremony. Anyone have any suggestions on where I can find an inexpensive one? I'd would consider something pre-worn if it was in great condition. Thanks

I wanted an inexpensive 2nd dress as well, for dancing at the reception, and it took me forever to find something.
I ended up purchasing this Sue Wong dress on ebay, and loved it. I received so many compliments on it. I had also visited the department stores and found some contenders. Also keep on checking the shopping sites like Rue La La and Ideeli, as they have wedding shops every so often & just evening gown sales.
I am planning on selling my Sue Wong dress if its a style you were interested in.

When they have one I would suggest the Filene's Running of the Brides. You can get a dress as little as $250.

Otherwise, J Crew has them, as well as some other places.

Lord & Taylor and Bloomingdales in the city have great evening gowns in white and ivory that would be perfect for second dresses....they carry Sue Wong and other designers. With coupons, you can sometimes get a really great deal.

you could also try during trunk shows.. theres plenty of designers that offer HUGE discounts during these shows.. you could probably find something fantastic that way
