lorilou and mauraw, do you guys know if there is a website or contact info for white chicago? since i'll be there in 2 weeks, i could come check it out!

yep its white CHICAGO | white Chicago designer bridal consignment wedding gowns new used - the owners are ursula and stacy. they are closed though sat dec 22- tues jan 1! i've spoken with ursula and she was really sweet on the phone. she will ask you what your regular dress size is so they know in advance to pull some gowns in your size. abbie, i live like 3 blocks from it so if you want me to meet up with you or get a drink afterwards i'd be happy to hang out

oh shoot! we get in on the 24th and leave on the 30th that bites! maybe she will open it just for me hehe well i guess its an excuse to come back and check it out real soon after! but i will let you know what the plans are and hopefully we can say hi in person when i'm out there anyways, maybe i can go peek in the window!

Thanks lorilou! I loved your dress and that kind of pushed me over the edge about going to ultimate bride to try stuff on. I had also heard that about White Chicago being kind of a needle in a haystack type situation, so I'm bringing my mom, sister and one of my two best friends about 30 mins before my appointment starts! I'll let you know how it goes!

there are a ton of dresses - but at least they're arranged by sizes so you can eliminate some that way. and the sales ladies are super helpful! have fun!
