bridal shower and rehearsal dinner attire help!!!!!

jenniandstephen

I am torn trying to find something to wear!! I am having a backyard barbeque type couples shower that the best man and matron of honor are hosting for us, and I am having a bridal shower at a fancy restaurant. So therefore, I have been looking for dresses and I cannot find one that isnt hoochie!!! Is anyone else wearing a little white dress to the rehearsal dinner??? and does anyone know where I can find a dress that is cocktail length, and that I can bend over without showing everyone what my mamma gave me???

I actually wore a black dress to the rehearsal dinner.  I got it on clearance from Banana Republic.

For my bridal shower, which was a tea, I wore a summer dress from New York & Co.

What stores do you typically shop at?

Some good places to look would be Ann Taylor, New York & Co, White House Black Market, and regular department stores.

Sounds great, thank you so much for your help!! I usually shop at J.Crew, Ann Taylor, NYC clothes dont fit me right, although I love them.

You should also check on the web. I saw some really nice dresses at Sears.com and also kmart and target that can be jazzed up. They were very reasonable and really pretty in tea length. God bless you and Congrats : )

Depending on how much you are looking to spend, Nordstrom had a very wide selection of white, cocktail length dresses.  The one I am going to wear (grecian-looking, cocktail length), would be appropriate for a backyard BBQ (where you are the star and can be a little more dressed up) or a fancy restaurant.

I usually get my dresses from Victorias Secret catalog, most of the time they're real nice, and they do have a few more conservative options, cuz I dont like hoochie dresses either. 

Recently I went to Dillard's and they have a real wide selection of maxi dresses, they'd be good for a barbeque. Comfortable and classy casual.

I usually get my dresses from Forever 21, Victorias Secret, and Body Central (online store). I got both my dresses for the bridal shower and b-party from Body Central. They have great dresses all under $30 plus they have a $9 deal of the week. PIB of both dresses under the tab "Pre-Wedding Parties".

An amazing place with adorable, and affordable dresses is Ruche. I am wearing this one to my rehearsal dinner:

I think Macy's has a great selection of dresses.
