where do you find holiday dresses?
I am looking for something to wear to our vow renewal/legal wedding (which is... um... next week *gulp*), and I am not finding anything good online. Am I just looking in the wrong places (JCP, overstock.com, DressBarn), or are there brick-and-mortar stores I should be going to? I'm thinking of something like what one might wear to a holiday cocktail party.
Also, having not yet shed the baby weight (ugh), I am going to have to buy something plus-size, so bonus points for anyone with good "women's" resources!
TIA!!

Re: where do you find holiday dresses?
I've had luck with Macy's and Ann Taylor, and I like Lord and Taylor's selection for women. Congrats again - I'm so happy for you and your wife!
We make the rockin' world go 'round.
ditto...especially Macy's and L&T. they usually have a great selection and Macy's is usually running some kind of sale.
Also, check out Nordstrom. Their sales associates are usually fantastic at helping you find what you are looking for and they also usually have well-stocked clearance racks.
i'd check out nordstrom and lord & taylor. filene's basement often has some of the same dresses that are at macy's or l&t.
and girl, you had twins so don't be so hard on yourself! best wishes on your upcoming vow renewal/wedding!
ditto Nordstroms.
And, use their personal shopping service! It is free and they can help you with dress, shoes, accessories, etc...
Congrats again!
Love the siggy pic! Your twins are adorable.
I would also check out Nordstrom Rack or Marshalls/TJ Maxx - they can be hit or miss, but you never know. Also, not sure what your style is, but the Limited just launched a plus-size line; they usually have some cute dresses.
