Hot dress for attending a wedding needed!

ally18 · Nov 9, 2008, 08:17 PM

I'm going to a wedding soon and I need a hot dress (fashionable mind you!) to wear. It'll be in the winter and I'm not sure whether or not to wear short dresses that are out now or go for a longer dress because of the weather.

I know a couple of people that will be attending that I have not seen for ages that will be there and so I want to look amazing!

Are there any places where you ladies have gotten great dresses? I've been looking around but I see prom-like dresses or dresses that are made out of really thin material that look suitable for summer. My budget is around $250 and I really want to find something that is classy and not overly trendy that I can't wear the dress again for another event.

I would highly recommend BCBG and Banana Republic, both of which have stores nationwide (in-store, as there's no delivery to Canada).

You're more likely to find something in BCBG but they can be fairly pricey for the longer gowns ($300-$400).

It was my brother's wedding this summer and I had quite a challenge finding the dress and ended up with an orange organza one that was prom-like but not too poofy, so I wish you all the best!

You can always try Want Boutique at Yonge and St. Clair. It's subway accessible and their collection is impressive. Megan, the store manager, is absolutely fantastic. Good Luck!!

thank u!!

I did check out BCBG and found a really great halter-style dress but it's a little over my budget but I'm thinking it's a splurge worth spending on!

I've never been to Want Boutique but I'll deft. check that place out!

Want is definitely at the same price if not more than BCBG. Can't go wrong with a BCBG dress.

BCBG is a great option but can get pricey. If you have the time, I would go to Buffalo.... not only do they have much more selection, they are much less expensive. My go-to store is EXPRESS -- I have bought many party dresses/outfits there and have alwasy gotten compliemnts! Trendy, cute and well-fitting party dresses go for around $100US. Even the department stores like Macy's and Nordstroms in the states carry lots of different brands at a variety of price points. Happy shopping!

I say try Club Monoco, their pieces are pretty timeless...or R.W. and Co.
