Could This Be My Rehearsal Dinner Dress?

I spotted this dress on Macy's website a few weeks ago. I immediately loved the shape of it (the A-line tends to be good for us curvy types).



I also like the little pleats on the dress, because they remind me of my mom's wedding dress.



My mom liked it too - she sent me a link to it without me every mentioning it!

At its original price of $168 it was out of the question. But thanks to Macy's sale this weekend, it is down to a much more affordable price.

The downside? No Macy's within a 100 mile radius carry the dress.

Boo.

Should I take the chance and go ahead and order it? Or wait to see if I can find something else?

  2. Order it. Can you return it when it doesn't fit?
    Think it's worth a try...

  4. Is there a Macy's near you? I say order it in the store and maybe they can even waive shipping if you ask nicely? :) Worth a shot... either way, I'd order it and then just return it to your home store if it doesn't work out.

  7. Order it! I think you can probably return it at your local Macy's right?

  8. DEFINITELY order it. And this is why -- a) it sounds like a perfect silhouette for you b) you'll keep thinking about it and either the price will go back out of they'll be out of your size and c)even if you had a store near you, they may not have a reduced price (secret of working in retail). I say order it, worst case scenario -- you send it back for not fitting. If you are really concerned about the fit.. you may want to order the larger of your usual size and have it taken it by a tailor.

  9. Is there a local Macy's that carries the brand? If so, stop by and try a few of their dresses on. That way, you can see what size would fit best on you. Then, order it, and (like chicncheap said) if you don't like it, you can probably just return it to your local Macy's. That way, you're only out one small shipping fee.
