Dress hunting

[jennythereader]

I need a dress for the wedding, but not a "Wedding Dress." Yesterday I looked at every likely seeming store in Crossgates, and also the Fashion Bug in Westgate plaza. Today I'm trying Kohls, Marshalls, Dress Barn, and maybe Colonie Center. If I don't get to Colonie Center today, I will tomorrow.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I literally looked in every store in Crossgates, and now Colonie Center as well. I have a dress being held for me at the Colonie Macy's, but it's not perfect. The fit is wonderful, but the color (a light beige) is a little dull.

I'm going to check Stuyvesant tomorrow.

The time frame doesn't really allow big expeditions for either shopping or fitting, but thank you for the offer.

If you hit Stuyvesant, there are some clothing stores along the back "wall" so to speak that I don't even go in because they never have plus sizes. But you may have much better luck there than I.
Good Luck finding dresses!

having not seen the cut of the dress, I might be talking out my ass... but maybe liven up the beige with a brightly colored scarf or shawl or a chunky bead necklace?

I'm thinking colorful jewelry may be the way to go. I don't really want a scarf/shawl, because it would hide the back neckline, which is something I really like about the dress.
