They have a whole section of their website devoted to wedding guest attire. They have a great return policy so you can order a bunch and return what you don't end up keeping. Also, if you go in to a store their sales people are fantastic at helping you find the perfect dress.</p> <p>I recently went to Nordstrom to find a dress for my SIL's wedding and I told them what I was looking for (hide my tummy since I recently had a baby, thicker straps since I need to wear a good bra, fits with the color scheme, and fits my enormous nursing bustline haha)</p> <p>I think navy would be a great color. Dark colors are more flattering to hide a tummy and navy would go well with purple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2882969 Thu, 02 May 2019 14:47:55 +0000 lavender 2882969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: pretty! I would wear it to a wedding. Actually I need a dress for my brothers. Do you have a link to that? :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2882968 Thu, 02 May 2019 14:39:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2882968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: that gray one is really pretty! I don’t think it’s too close to white. I wore a similar colored dress to a few weddings and never felt like it was too light. But I suppose it being next to all the dark purple bridesmaids might make you feel even lighter. I also had good luck ordering from bloomingdales (free shipping and returns if you join their rewards thing for free, I think). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2882966 Thu, 02 May 2019 14:14:35 +0000 MrsADS 2882966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>following... I have a similar wedding situation coming up. I bought a dress at Dillard's - tried it on and needed a size smaller, so ordered it at the store to be sent to my house. Now they can't find it, they are "searching"... so I may be looking for another dress. Looking for suggestions as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2882960 Thu, 02 May 2019 13:41:52 +0000 HappyBaker 2882960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still trying to find something, I’ve ordered a few duds on Amazon so far! I love this one but would it be too light / close to white for a wedding? </p> [attach=1530/19/pqw3xs.337x600.EBA3F8C7-2583-4E49-9AAB-D11737FF387C.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878521 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 19:12:40 +0000 HappyBaker 2878521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@graceandjoy: @josina: so pretty and ordering from Amazon is a great idea! </p> <p>@Foodnerd81: Gray is a great idea! And I hadn't thought of Nordstrom's that's smart, I feel like whenever I go to the one near me they don't have what I want but I'm sure online there is more.</p> <p>@CatchAFallingStar: Those are all GORGEOUS but I would be way too nervous to wait till a few days before to nail down my outfit! Maybe I'll just look at RTR for some inspiration though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878514 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 17:30:32 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2878514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: you can requestit in more than one size and it would come a couple days beforehand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878512 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 16:49:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2878512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I love that last one! But I would be too nervous to try rent the runway for a wedding this important. What if you don’t like it when it comes?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878462 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 13:44:52 +0000 mdf106 2878462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a specific suggestion, but I would recommend using Amazon Prime Wardrobe. They will send you up to eight items, and you only have to pay for what you keep. The box they send them in is also set up for returns.</p> <p>I was in a similar situation (only the color was gold, so easier to coordinate), and ordered a bunch of dresses from several stores. I ended up keeping a dress from Nordstrom Rack, but I also ended up getting banned from ordering online from there due to excessive returns. I have a hard time telling what will be flattering before trying it on, and a lot of the dresses that were relatively flattering were either too old or too young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878457 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 13:30:51 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2878457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something like this would be really pretty, too! </p> [attach=3657/19/pp1fff.337x600.36D31230-33AC-4C92-9641-D13755F73394.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878456 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 13:28:44 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2878456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you thought about Rent the Runway?? </p> [attach=3657/19/pp1fbx.337x600.C3031B26-7732-4E57-B2FA-BD1CF4D1164A.png] [attach=3657/19/pp1fby.337x600.016E3476-E8F1-42FB-A17F-FE8C7189CEBE.png] [attach=3657/19/pp1fbz.337x600.5858FDE7-06CA-4D43-8633-85654E723325.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878405 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 09:43:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2878405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was a medium gray color, or navy would work too. I’m kind of boring with colors, btw. </p> <p>I ordered a few dresses to try from bloomingdales and Nordstrom online, both with free shipping and returns. I considered going to the stores but when I checked the stock online half the colors and sizes weren’t in store anyway. I tend to like Eliza J dresses, as far as style and fit for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878388 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 08:27:28 +0000 josina 2878388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This one would look awesome next to your DH<br /> <a href="https://www.francescas.com/product/tara-embroidered-velvet-dress.do?sortby=ourPicks&#038;refType=&#038;from=fn&#038;ecList=7&#038;ecCategory=106124" rel="nofollow">https://www.francescas.com/product/tara-embroidered-velvet-dress.do?sortby=ourPicks&#038;refType=&#038;from=fn&#038;ecList=7&#038;ecCategory=106124</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878387 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 08:26:56 +0000 graceandjoy 2878387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Amazon has SO many great options. For an upcoming wedding that I'm the MOH for, I got my dress from there under $50 and it rivals anything I could've gotten for $100+! And I love that most are free returns with prime so I can try as many styles/sizes as needed. </p> <p>A fashion blogger I follow recently just posted this one -<br /> <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCO2WPM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A18Q96G6V6ZUCQ&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCO2WPM/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A18Q96G6V6ZUCQ&#038;psc=1</a></p> <p>This is the dress I got -<br /> <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D77YJX2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D77YJX2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-find-a-dress-3#post-2878371 Wed, 27 Mar 2019 07:16:13 +0000 HappyBaker 2878371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL is getting married in May, and everyone in my family is in the wedding except for me, so they already have their outfits. I know we'll be taking a lot of family photos so I want to wear something complementary color wise and also feel good in it, so I"m going to buy a new dress. But I HATE the mall with every ounce of my being so I'd rather just buy a bunch online and return what doesn't work! </p> <p>The colors for the wedding are dark and light purple - DH is wearing a black tux with dark purple vest, my 2 boys are wearing light purple shirts with purple checkered vests, and my daughter is wearing a light purple long dress. Bridesmaids are wearing dark purple long dresses, so anything purple is out! I was thinking maybe green would look good with them? I don't want to super clash! I'm a size M or L and would love to hide my mom tummy :-). Thanks! </p>
