DD needs a formal dress....by Sat. She got asked to a fancy charity event. Of course she has one formal dress, here at home, which of course I can ship, but she is thinking she needs something more classic. The one at home is a halter chiffon dress with a black/white flower pattern. WHAT online place ships super fast? to get to MN by thurs/Friday, and is not super expensive? I hate that I'm not there so we just can't go shopping. She is going to go shopping on tues, to see if she can find something. But I'm just covering our bases, because I'm an anal mom like that. Plus she will need more of these type of things down the line.

Nordstrom ships quickly and has plenty of dress options.

Unless she's in the middle of nowhere, with no shopping options nearby, I'd be going with her idea of shopping. On-line is a great option until you find the fit isn't right or the color doesn't suit. Plus, I'm guessing she's older than 15 so you should ship her existing dress (as long as that's not too expensive) as a stand by and let her see what she can find either online or in a B&M store.

Priority a mail her the dress. Then when she goes shopping, she's guaranteed to find something.
Amazon has some options as well.

That's what I am going to do. Ship her nice formal coat, and then this dress as a back up. We can always buy a dress online too, have it shipped, and then if it doesn't fit return it. Trouble is money. I can pay for it, if we get it online, vs she has limited money as a college student.

I second Rent the Runway. They will send her two sizes and she can send it back on Monday. It is cheaper than buying a dress she might not wear again.

If you use Rent the Runway, I have a 20% off code you can use. But if you don't have an account, I think there's promos and 20% off for new customers, anyway, so that'd prob be easier, haha! I'll try to keep an eye on this thread if you need it though  |

Can you not e-transfer her some money just so she has some funds if she finds the perfect dress in a store? |

We can also do that. Unfortunately I bank at a different bank then her. My dh banks at the same bank as she does, but he's a bit harder to squeeze money out of him. HA
How fast does rent a runway ship? I think we are good. We did order a dress online. I'm just worried it won't be formal enough. I went online and looked at the photo gallery from the gala from last year, and fashion was all over the place. So I think we are good.

have her check JCPenney in person, they should have cocktail dresses left from new yrs on clearance by now. we bought a prom dress around this time of the year once(she's only barely 5ft and just so happened we found a great deal on a dress she loved, so we went ahead and bought it)..

Depending on her size, I have two girls size 0 and a lot of dresses to choose from. I am an hour south of cities.
David's Bridal is a good place to check too.

You tell them the date of your event and they make sure you get the dress the day before. |
