But I stopped being fancy after prom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-316845 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 12:09:30 +0000 Boogs 316845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No kidding about Macy's. I never have patience to dig and neither does LO. Nordstrom is usually good to me, but I wasn't seeing much of anything I liked (at least not for a reasonable price) when I looked the other day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-314883 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 08:22:58 +0000 JessiBee 314883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with Nordstrom, but for (much) cheaper, Macy's usually has a giant (disorganized) dress section, and if you're willing to troll the sale racks, you can sometimes find amazing deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-314724 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 06:22:58 +0000 blackbird 314724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom definitely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-314678 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 04:39:03 +0000 looch 314678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard some horror stories about Rent the Runway, like the dress they rented comes back ripped and they don't inform the person who has it rented next until it's way too late to do anything. I can't handle that kind of anxiety for special events.</p> <p>I also like department stores for special occasion dresses, or JCrew. I know my size and I usually just need the stuff shortened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313618 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 16:44:46 +0000 Boogs 313618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some great recommendations, some I've never heard of!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81 &amp; @ms.janedoe: So I have just been browsing RTR, what a great site! What happens if you get the dress the day before you event and it doesn't work out? Has that happened to you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313523 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:56:02 +0000 pinkcupcake 313523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Although I usually buy them at dept stores like Nordstrom's, my last dress was from Target! I got it for less than $20 and everyone complimented it and thought it was way more expensive than it was. Score! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313512 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:52:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 313512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually department stores like nordstroms, bloomingdales, and macy's, though i usually have the most luck at nordstroms because they have the biggest online selection.</p> <p>i would also check out modcloth, anthropologie, j crew, zara, asos and topshop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313463 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:39:46 +0000 tororojo 313463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Limited--they always have nice looking dresses, and if you can find them on clearance they are super cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313454 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:36:52 +0000 Turd Ferguson 313454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second Rent the Runway if it's a fancy event/special event/"worth it" event. LOVE it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313449 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:33:37 +0000 MediaNaranja 313449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had the best luck finding special occasion dresses at consignment stores. I also like Kohls or Macy's or TJ Maxx. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313444 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:31:24 +0000 Foodnerd81 313444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually all over the place with where I buy dresses, but a friend of mine swears by Rent the Runway for special occasions like weddings (as a guest, not bridesmaid). Her recent really gorgeous dress has convinced me to try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313443 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:31:22 +0000 mrsjyw 313443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nordstrom, express, francescas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313441 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:30:54 +0000 autumnlove 313441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dresses#post-313432 Thu, 27 Sep 2012 15:24:36 +0000 MrsBrewer 313432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite is Dress Barn!
