Where do you buy dresses?

I'm in the market for a fun party dress and I can never find anything I like. Mainly, nothing fits right. I have a very weird body and I'm no size 6 (although, I wish I was!) I have such a hard time finding anything so I'm curious, where do you guys go to buy dresses? Hoping to find something other than Macy's, which is where I always go!

Re: Where do you buy dresses?

  • I really like the BCBG outlet, though I can't recall if there's one in the area (I always try to hit it when I'm out in NorCal for a visit).  JCrew and Ann Taylor sometimes have fun dresses.  Anthropologie makes cute things (though the prices are sometimes a downer). 

    Oh, and there's the website that another Nestie introduced me to: http://www.modcloth.com/.  They do free return shipping, which is nice.

  • I like to try TJ Maxx or Marshalls. Or Target. The last time I went there they had some REALLY cute dresses and they have sizes up to XXL I believe! All three places have cute dresses for cheap.

     You can also try Nordtrom, but that will cost a lot more! :)

  • My suggestion was going to be Macys. I seem to find random things there. Other department stores: Kohls, JC Penney, Nordstroms, Lord&Taylor, Sears. You could try Limited, maybe the Gap? Gap might be more causal than fun.

  • I've bought a bunch of dresses at JCrew and Ann Taylor in the last few years.  My friend loves Anthropologie.  I recently found out that Target carries a good selection of dresses for really reasonable prices (under $50).  At that price, you can buy something and still afford to have it tailored to fit perfectly.

    I know, right?  I haven't bought anything from there yet but I need to find the time to do some shopping on it.  They just raised a bunch of VC money too so they should be pretty stable for a while.

    I just sent it to a few friends and they have all stopped working and started browsing. I love it!

  • Limited, Macy's, Dillards, BCBG (also found at Macy's/Dillards), boutiques (such as on Newbury- but those can be expensive, I like to try to shop around sales), J Crew, Banana.
