HELP!

We just found out that we're going to have to move our courthouse civil ceremony up - to only two weeks away!

I have always wanted to wear a 50's style outfit for my civil ceremony - like a boxy little suit or a curvy wiggle dress. Anything off white, cream, or even metallic, like silver or gold jacquard. It doesn't have to be vintage, vintage inspired is okay, too.

I'm desperate - Does anyone have suggestions (or even a dress for sale)??? If you make a suggestion and I end up buying your outfit, I will paypal you $25. Please help!

Thanks,

Marisa

Okay, this is a challenge I love! What size are you? And by that I mean, what are your actual measurements?

Have you ever seen the dress ivybride06 wore (on the Knot)? I think it may be what you're looking. It looks like its David Fielden from Kleinfeld's in NYC.

Here's one of my favorite places (I'm planning on blogging about them later this week):

http://www.trashydiva.com/

They've got their "wedding" dresses on sale now, and are 100% silk. The quality is amazing, and the people that work there are awesome. Here's the link for the sale dresses:

thanks again for your help everyone - man, i LOVE weddingbee:) i loved all the suggestions, but my favorite was one that tanya2s sent, an ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330189921350&ssPageName=ADME:B:DBS:US:1123 it doesn't end for another day, and it looks like there is going to be some stiff competition, but i'm going to do my best! tanya2s, i'm going to email you to send your "finder fee," haha. THANKS AGAIN to everyone!!!!
