Hi ladies,
I've been helping a friend of mine shop for a dress for her wedding, which will be on October 27th. It's a small, fairly casual wedding (very short ceremony and dinner reception at Fulton's on the River), so she's not looking for anything incredibly formal. We were hoping we could just get her something off the rack or even a nice formal dress that happens to be white/ivory, but we haven't had a ton of luck.
So I just thought I'd see if any of you knew of any shops in or around Chicago where we might find something short, tea-length, or floor-length but very simple, that she could just buy and walk out with. We've tried Nordstrom and lots of other major department stores (Bloomingdale's, Neiman Marcus, Macy's formal dress collections) and are making an appointment with Macy's bridal for next week. I'm afraid that if we go to more of a traditional bridal salon, she'll have to place an order and the dress won't get in in time for her to get it altered before the end of next month. Am I missing some obvious options here?
Any suggestions would be very, very much appreciated!
Lizzie
