Plus size cheap wedding dress/rehearsal dress?

Michaila, on April 27, 2020 at 3:14 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

I'm thinking of getting legally married and using my legal ceremony dress as my rehearsal dinner dress the following year - I have another post about that whole story.

Anyway, all that to say, I'm looking for something really cheap (read under $100 if possible, maybe $150) but still cute and with a good wedding vibe. I'm thinking short, because I'm 4'9" and I don't want to hem anything, so knee length is going to work better on me than tea length because tea length is going to be full length on me the way that capris are pants.

I like kind of the vintage vibe for a short dress - something with a poufy skirt! My wedding dress is an a-line ballgown, lace and organza with beads and pearls, so if I can hint at that idea in a shorter dress I will be happy. I like lace.

I've looked all the usual places - Amazon, Azazie, Eshakti, Poshmark, Modcloth and Milanoo - I love the Chi Chi London dresses but they're just too much going on. Are there lace little jackets you can get to put over a simpler dress? I keep finding these basic white dresses that I like the silhouette of but are just too plain for me. I'm pretty crafty and am up for DIY'ing a little. I like a good cap sleeve, too though not much longer than that. Illusion necklines too.

I wear a 2x/20 street size. It doesn't have to be a wedding dress, just a nice little white dress. Anywhere else I could look?

    I’d try ModCloth for something of a more vintage feel. You can also try Asos, Lulus, eBay, Fashion Nova and Cocomelody. DB also has dresses for 100$ and under.

    Torrid has tons of pretty white dresses. I've also had luck with dresses from ShopPinkBlush.com.

    Torrid has a pearl dress I've been drooling over. I also bought one off of poshmark that was an older style but still in great shape! Poshmark has a ton of cute options discounted.

    You can look into Still White. I actually just purchased my dress through that site.

    My go to is to suggest Ross but to my knowledge, they are not reopening any time soon. I don't do much clothes shopping online but when I was getting ideas for my wedding dress, Davids Bridal and Torrid had some super cute ones online.
