Does anyone know of a good place or website to purchase a formal dress for a Friday evening event? I really don't want to spend a lot of money and thought looking into preowned or discounted dresses would be a good route to take. I appreciate any feedback you ladies can provide me. Especially if you've ever done this yourself. Please let me know all about your experience and the best place to go.

Thanks and blessings to you all!

So What Happened?

Thank you all so very much. I was actually out one day and decided to stop in Burlington Coat Factory and found something suitable for the occassion. It only cost me $60.00 total for the outfit (top & bottom), accessories and undergarment. I decided to go with the 2 pieces after none of the dresses looked good on me or were still outside of my price range.

I believe there is a place in Morris, but I can't seem to think of the name or the address, but I believe you can check it out on their Chamber of Commerce websites. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I just Bought two dresses at Good Will in Naperville.
$9.99 each. some are new with tags, and some might have been worn once. We looked every where and realized we should have started there.
