I need to buy a dress for a wedding - any suggestions?

[skygazer]

I hate shopping and haven't willingly trolled the malls or stores for years. I need to find a red formal to wear to my daughter's wedding and I'm not sure where to start. I'd like to keep it under about $150 if possible and I don't want to go to every store in creation so if anyone has any ideas to get me on the right track, I'd sure appreciate it! :hi:

1. Okay

Evening or day wedding? Styles you like or dislike?

4. Evening wedding

I want long or midlength - the ol' legs aren't what they used to be. Nothing too old lady like. Not real picky about style. Does that help?

6. Thanks

I've already found three Vera Wangs I'm salivating over, but nothing in red.

I'm looking.

2. Please?

There MUST be someone here who shops!

3. Consider buying online--this place has great prices and clothes:

They have petites, missy, and women's sizes. I've had great luck with them.

Word of caution--they take FOREVER to ship standard.

Edit: By forever, I mean about 10 days. :shrug:

5. Cool - thank you

I'd much prefer to buy online, honestly - I so hate stores!

7. Try Nordstrom or look at Bridal shops for bridesmaids dresses.

8. Okay, thanks

I know where there's a Nordstrom. I did look at one bridal shop and didn't find much but there's another one that someone said is better that I need to check out.

Thanks! :hi:
