Inexpensive short-ish rehearsal dress

emster86 · February 2015

Just wondering if anyone can point me on the right direction? I'm considering buying a knee or tea length second dress for the rehearsal. My fiance and I have been taking dance lessons and I'm afraid the long dress will get in the way. I can't seem to find any around my area and was wondering if anyone had gotten a dress of this type online and what is a good site? I've looked on etsy, eBay and David's. Was hoping to only spend about $150 at the max. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

You could try ModCloth, I know a few ladies have had good luck there.

There are no rules that say it must be white (I'm assuming that's what you're looking for) - you could always pick out one of your wedding colors and then get a dress you would wear again.

@doeydo Wow! Thank you for the list. I tried Macy's but apparently I was "shopping" in the wrong section. I actually love a couple of those and like quite a few!

@Dignity100 Thanks for the info. I would be fine if I even found a light pink one or something similar, I just haven't had the best luck. I did try modcloth, but only liked a couple styles.

Thank you both very much!

Have you looked at any of the bridesmaid dresses on Target.com? Easy in store returns. I bought one on a clearance rack one time and it ran at least a size small so not sure if that is true all over but you could buy multiple sizes and return to the store

Thanks @kvruns I will check it out!

Heading out of town on Saturday as well, so that might help!

Thanks for the suggestions @doeydo, I just went out and bought this one. Looks great!

That's such a fun and flirty dress!!

I must admit, I wish it came in a different color
