Thoughts on this dress?

shaydenise

I really would like to get this dress for the bachelorette party this Thursday (my BMs requested I wear a red cocktail dress).

I just don't know that I can truly justify the cost of it.  The sensible part of me says no then the other part - that little devil on the shoulder part - says, "Just get it!  It's for your bachelorette party and would be fabulous!"

What is your opinion  Do you have another suggestion?

I love that dress.

Will you ever be able to wear it again? I personally would not be able to justify spending that much for something I was going to wear once or twice. (wedding gown excluded)

Ditto Jen - would you wear it again?  It's really gorgeous, but a little pricey to wear once or twice.

That's totally hot, but I agree with the others.  $180 is a lot to drop on a dress unless you can get some more wear out of it.

It's pretty, but I wouldn't pay that price for it.

That's a good point K Byte.  I may just run to the mall tomorrow and see what Macy's has and if I find nothing, then I'm just going to go with the black cocktail dress I already have and some hot red heels!

I guess I'm the devil on your other shoulder because I say, "get it!"  It's really pretty, and it's a special occaision.

ooh we do have a DB that just opened!  I could definitely try them - I didn't know they had dresses in stock.

Yeah that's pretty much what I'm thinking too.

It's a nice dress, but I'm sure you could find another one you like at several different places for a much lower cost.

H&M, Macys, even Kohls.

Well, it doesn't matter now because the dress is only available in one size - even when I click to find it in a store.  I guess it wasn't meant to be ha ha.

The last two are multi-way dresses and can be worn in several different ways! 

*Edit*  I'm not sure when your b-party is, but seeing as how your wedding is only five days away (Congratulations!) ordering these may not be a possibility...if you have a VS store near you though, you could always call and see if they have anything in stock.
