    Looking for suggestions on places to find suitable separates I can get in a hurry. This is my second wedding, and I want to look formal and classic, but I'm having a hard time finding a dress that's just right. The wedding is in February, and I want sleeves, so that's been an issue as well. I don't want an actual bridal gown either. So I was thinking that the easiest way to find what I'm lookng for would be to put together separates.

     

    I'll post a pic, but I'm liking the idea of a high waisted a-line skirt, (something that minimizes the hips but isn't overly "fluffy", and a long sleeved lace top. tied together with an embellished sash where the two meet. These pieces don't need to come from the same place, or come from a bridal collection. Just looking for the "right" skirt and right top. Any suggestions would be great. I'm a street size 16, and petite, (sounds like hell, no?), and since the wedding is so close, I need to find vendors I can order from and get here in a couple weeks or less.

    I kind of like this, but I can't order it offline, and I'd prefer to. Also, navy would work since the man will be in his Army mess blues, but I would slightly prefer a gold or champagne colored skirt in maybe a taffeta or such.

     

    Thanks ladies!

    I would try Nordstroms.

    Please don't be offended that it takes you to Mother of the Bride, a ton of them look young and pretty and it's really the best place on the site I can find with dressy separates.   Like this one:

    Might not be quite right, I am not sure.

    This one's very pretty, the waist would look terrible on me but I've seen that style look really good on other people.

    I seem to be finding the separates under "Mother-of-the-Bride," on wedding sites.   I'm not sure if any of this helped, but I hope it did, those both have brick-and-mortar stores where you can order things offline.
