Chris in VA Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 At a brick and mortar store, size 2? Mostly the color, with a bit of bling like this one, and not strapless or one shouldered. I have searched JCP, Davids Bridal, Macys and Nordstrom already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helena Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ooo, that's tough. I couldn't find anything. But, holy cow there are some sexy looks for prom out there!!! Do you have Amazon Prime? I searched yellow prom dress, size 2 and quite a few came up. Some look really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 Thanks, helena. I meant to link the light blue one, but yeah, amazon has several that would work. She wants to try anything on, though. And yes, we think a modest dress like the linked on (with less of a fussy back, maybe) would be nice. So hard to find.

Katy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) What about this one: http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=dress_special-events&ProductID=2000160519&VariantID= With a beaded belt, like this: http://www.target.com/p/tevolio-organza-bridal-sash-with-pearl-and-bead-floral-detail/-/A-50057307?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Accessories%2BShopping&adgroup=SC_Accessories&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9026485&gclid=CIKl9-PC0MwCFQ8vaQodC_oBug&gclsrc=aw.ds And sparkly shoes. If it's not quite modest enough, you could take it to a seamstress to add some lace cap sleeves. ETA: The fabric stores I was at recently all had quite a bit of metallic silver lace, some of which was beaded, so it wouldn't necessarily look homemade. I think David's bridal also sells lace cap sleeves to add to dresses, but they'll probably be more expensive than a seamstress.

mmasc Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Do you live near a Dillard's? They usually have a good selection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "very similar" one actually is the dress! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Try a department store, but honestly if she's dreaming of a specific dress, ordering the closest thing to it, perhaps in one size larger, and having it tailored to fit her might be the best option.

Katy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Dillards, Belk, Lord & Taylor, Kohls (maybe), Maurices, anything higher end that carries cocktail dresses like Saks, I'm blanking on more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
