Inexpensive White Sundress in February?

LesleyAnne · February 17, 2009

I went crazy trying to find a dress under $500 for my beach wedding at Secrets Maroma. I am a young 53 year-old, and can proudly still wear my bikinis because of good genes and the gym! LOL All I could find was mother of the bride dresses. Finally, I found a bunch of beautiful and not that expensive dresses for destination weddings on line at Alfred Angelo, Dessy (Sandals), and Jessica McClintock. I ordered my Jessica McClintock gown #52835-Sabrina vintage looking gown for $325.00 from a JM boutique in NJ. I had it in 5 days and it fit perfectly. This is my third marriage (divorce, widowed) and I had a vow renewal in 2000 in Jamaica, so needless to say, I have seen it all. Good luck, and here's a hint. Choose something dressier than you imagine yourself in. Pictures last a lifetime!!! Lesley

I actually purchased my wedding gown in October of 2007, and it was pain free. I'm having all the trouble with an informal dress for our legal ceremony.

Oh, yes that is a problem for me, too! We are marrying legallyin NJ in March or April, so I ask myself, "What do I wear for that?? I guess we'll know when we see it.

I agree, it has been very challenging to find an informal dress. We are getting married legally in the US before leaving for Mexico. I wanted to get more use out of the dress, so I am going to wear it for my rehearsal dinner too. I think I am going to order the Chameleon dress that was recommended earlier in this thread! Thanks for recommending it! I have literally been looking for weeks on-line and that dress was the first one that will really work for me. It's also great, because I could actually wear it again!
