Butterfly

Where was your shower dress from? I really liked it and am thinking about something similar for my RD dress. And did you ever try on that BCBG dress you were lusting after?

  • Thanks girlie!!! It was from Bebe. bridetobe was asking me about it last week and we figured out it is no longer available :( they sold out in our store here really quick!! there might be some similar ones, so I would check out their website.

    And as for the BCBG one, NO! I am so mad! our BCBG store never got it. I might give in and buy it anyway....there are tons of white ones on the BCBG website, their dresses just tend to always fit a little weird depending on what style they are, so that's why I have been anxious about ordering one!
  • Ooh darn it, i looked at bebe.com but I don't see anything like that availble right now :(

    For the BCBG one, maybe you could buy it online and then return it to the store if it doesn't fit? I know they only do returns for store credit, but I'm sure you could find something else there to buy lol!

    Do you already know what you're wearing for your RD?

  • no!! I don't have a RD dress at all....not even anything that would work! I got a really casual cotton sundress to wear to the morning after brunch, but I have nothing for the rehearsal.

    My fiance just wants me to order the BCBG one and be done with it, hahaha! It would just suck to spend $350 on a dress that didn't fit and then have to return for store credit and still have to buy another white dress.....I might end up doing it anyway.

    Do you have any options for your rehearsal dinner dress, or are you dress-less as well?
  • Allow me to butt in :)

    Butterfly, you would just lose your shipping, not have to get store credit, if you returned the BCBG dress, right? I've had to do that for several dresses, including the one I planned on wearing for the morning-after brunch (which was a debacle).

    Check out Nordstroms - they have a fantastic return policy.

  • Oooh yeah, Nordstrom's does sell BCBG, so maybe if you buy the dress there you can return it easily. They don't carry everything there, but it would be worth checking out.

  • Oh, and yes I do have a RD dress, but now I'm completely second guessing it. I think it's more fancy than I want. I got it on a super sale at J Crew like five months ago, in a total spur of the moment kind of purchase. And I don't know if I want to wear white. Would that make me too attention seeking to wear white at the RD?? I just love white dresses and have this urge to wear them at all wedding related events haha.

  • I'm wearing a white Lilly Pulitzer dress to the RD. My shower dress is pinks and golds (also Lilly). My morning-after dress is TBD since the one I bought didn't fit. I really, really like the idea of wearing white!

  • Bmore: I love that dress, I love the idea of wearing white, and if you can't dress fancier than usual for WR-events, when else can you??? There is nothing attention seeking about wearing white!! Everyone told me they loved that I wore white to my shower, and I think it's even more appropriate to do so at the RD.

    Good call for checking out Nordstroms...going to do that now!! I just know BCBG doesn't have the best return policy, which made me nervie, but if I can find the dress to order from somewhere else...that would be awesome!
  • Okay, I'm glad I wouldn't be the only one in white at her RD... lol. I already wore white to my shower, and I have a white dress for the after party after our reception. So I think for sure, I'm going to have to not wear white to my day after brunch. I mean... what the heck am I going to do with all these white dresses after the wedding?? haha

  • hahaha! I am planning to take my shower dress on the honeymoon. I actually am probably going to wear my shower dress to fiance's cousin's graduation on Friday as well!

    I wore a white dress to my college graduation and I always surprised myself with how many places I wore it to. It was adorable and from J Crew and I ended up wearing it all the time! So I think you will surprise yourself :)

    Oh, and I think it would be totally fine to wear white to the brunch as well :)
