    Hey bees.

    I'm looking to find a cute, cocktail legnth, white or ivory dress (can have accent color, or pattern) for my rehersal, and I have NO idea where to find one for around 40-50 dollars.

    Anyone have any websites that the trust and love?
    How about any stores that you have found great finds at?

    I have tried Target, TJMaxx, Marshalls, all the standard "discounted merchandise" type stores.

    Thanks in advance!

    H&M! Love that store and its very affordable. I recently got an email about their white dresses for the season. Go to their website and see if one is near you!

    I found mine at Dillards on the clearance rack. It was origingally 200 and I got it for 50.  Right now is the end of proms/graduations etc. so you might find some good deals

    Have you checked Macys?  I actually bought mine from the juniors department... they have a ton of white, short prom dresses.

    http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=447392&CategoryID=42767 - $50 and 15% off as well.

    http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=447117&CategoryID=42767 - $50, and 15% off

    http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=447057&CategoryID=50800 - this is $80, but it's 15% off... so it'd be $68

    You can always rent a dress?? I am renting for the rehearsal and bachlorette party! I haven't gotten them yet since those things are not until next month..but it's worth a try.

    You can get designer dresses for 4 to 8 days starting at $50 to 300 bucks. They UPS them to you and they give you a package to send back to them.

    Check out www.renttherunway.com

    You have to sign up though and it can take a bit..

    Or check out the clearance section online at Macy's and nordstroms. I have found alot of good stuff marked down to cheap!

    Good luck!

    Hehehe.. I have to stay away from that place too, hence why I forgot about it, I've blocked it out of my memory!!!

    lovespearls:  there is one of those in the same "lifestyle center" as the nordstrom rack.. maybe I'll wander over~

    Thanks for all your suggestions!
