Where to find hideous bridesmaid dresses?

Hey ladies,

I'm going to a bachelorette party in a couple weeks and we all have to wear hideous bridesmaid/pagent dresses. My friend and I were thinking of looking at the goodwill, but sometimes that can be hit or miss. Maybe ragstock? We're not really sure where else to look. Thanks!

Re: Where to find hideous bridesmaid dresses?

  • Are we going to the same party, or is this the new cool thing to do??

  • I just saw some at the Rewind vintage consignment shop in NE Mpls

  • We did something similiar when I was in high school called MORP (prom spelled backwards).  Kind of an anti-prom thing for the soccer team.  We had a $5 limit on what we could wear.  A bunch of us raided family closets and got bridesmaid dresses from the 70s.  Hideously beautiful (I completed mine with a beehive hairdo).  Do you have any older relatives in the area?  Someone who was "always a bridesmaid, never a bride?"  That would be my first choice.

  • A few years back, we did an 80s Prom party for Valentines Day - so much fun!

    I found some 'lovely' dresses at the thrift store at SunRay.  I'm not sure what the name of it is.... maybe Value Thrift Store?

  • Ebay!!!

    Yes, Savers (thrift store at SunRay and in Maplewood in that strip mall off of beam behind Maplewood Mall, I think they opened up one in Woodbury somewhere too)...  Good Will... Salvation Army...  are also options...
