Thanks for all the help! Love you guys! |
I used to live in Columbus, Ohio and was blessed to have several factory outlets such as Spiegel's Salvage and JC Penney Outlet.
If you have a JC Penney's Outlet store within a 250-mile radius, it's worth the trip. I was in a wedding there last year and they had a large selection of styles and sizes of bridesmaids and prom dresses.....matching of course! for less than $50.
If that isn't an option for you, check into upscale consignment shops. The dresses are often available in various sizes that can be altered. I also know that in many areas, you can rent wedding attire such as bridesmaids and wedding dresses. Just check around with different stores you find in the phone book. Tuxedo rental places can also give you referrals.
Hope this helps! Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I wish you every happiness and blessings.
