Help me find a bachelorette dress?

[Krissie]

My bachelorette is next weekend, and we''re going to a trendy restaurant followed by (I think) dancing or a lounge, or both. We''re all somewhat classy gals, and I''d like to have a cute cocktail dress to wear. I figured I should shy away from patterns, but I''m thinking either a bright color, black, or white. Unfortunately we''re moving this weekend, so I have no time for anything but online shopping. Wanna help?

I looked at Nordstrom, Neimans and Bloomingdales but was a bit overwhelmed by all of the dress options.

I''m 5''8", between an 8 and a 10 usually, and pretty curvy - I have a definite hourglass shape. I''m not crazy about my legs so anything too far above the knee wouldn''t be very comfortable for me personally. I want to feel sexy, though, and fab at my bachelorette, rather than just "cute" (which is the look I typically go for - curvy bodies lend very well to that!).

If you''re bored, wanna online shop for me?

This was the one that stood out to me, but I''m just not sure.

I think that dress is fabulous! It definitely says sexy and not cute. I think it would look great paired with a bright heel - maybe red? I think it''s perfect for a classy bachelorette.

Thank you! I have some red patent mary janes that are kind of a wedge. I wore them in the engagement photos that I had here in DC - it would be great to use them again!

I just found this pic of the patent red shoes. Not the best pic of them, but here they are!

The dress is adorable and could easily be a dress you could wear to other events. As long as you aren''t going to have the drunken bachelorette party experience, I think this dress should be fine. I just know that some of my girlfriends got a little too sloppy to wear something as nice as this dress LOL!

Hehe, I love that pic of you guys! I really like that dress you linked, but do you think strapless would be comfortable enough all night through dancing and such? What about something like this?

Ooh, that''s really cute Facet Fire. I wonder if the skirt would seem a little too puffy if we were to go clubbing?

Found a Notte by Marchesa dress that''s totally over the top for the occasion, but am kind of obsessed.

Ok, I ordered the Milly

In case that doesn''t work, I ordered these 2 from South Moon Under! Hopefully something will work!

Oooh...good stuff! (It won''t let me see the first of the other two), but I like the Milly and the green one. I love green!!! Don''t forget to let us know how they look on when they arrive!

I love the dress you ordered!

Too bad we''re not near each other, we''re the same size and I have a gazillion dresses!

That is a total bummer. You have the cutest clothes!

The Milly dress came in and it fits just a little too snug for a comfortable night out. It''s adorable, though! The 2 South Moon Under dresses were delivered via UPS today - so hopefully I''ll get a chance to try them on when I get home!

Its very cute and, if I could spend that on a dress I would in a heartbeat..

Don''t slap me too hard,

but there''s a similar print out there somewhere for bedding I want.

LOL - I know - i have a table cloth that''s very similar
