Thanks for including some plus-size finds! Last year was a wedding year for me – one friend, one family – I was lucky enough to be able to wear one dress to both; a really cute chocolate brown and turquoise wrap dress from Target. I can still wear it this year, too – perfect for a night out with a boy. Or the girls!

Maggie – THANK YOU for introducing me to Alloy on Mighty Goods! I had never found them on the Internet, and don’t have a store down here in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC. I saw the cute little cranberry wedding attendee dress on Mighty Goods and went to take a look..and found so many amazing, absolutely affordable clothes. I will be making a big purchase soon, much to my husband’s displeasure.

Again, thanks for Mighty Goods and for introducing us “out here” to all the hip and cool things that are out there that we don’t have access to or necessarily the time to seek out. I’ve bought so many things that have been featured on Mighty Goods for myself and others.

Keep up the amazing work.

Maggie, it took a decent amount of time but for my wedding, I was able to find fabulous dresses for my 3 stepdaughters by shopping on eBay. The average for the three was under $100. One was a David Meister, one a BCBG, and the other Jones New York. All were brand new with a full retail value north of $800. Best thing is that they worked as bridesmaid dresses for me and a friend’s wedding two days later.

The thing that took the most time was trying to figure out sizing – there is no uniformity amongst designers and several of us have similar measurements but very different body shapes.

Thanks for the link to delightful Francesca’s. That recommendation allowed me to chew up an hour’s time that I would have spent working.

Went to Sears in search of a shower gift, and walked, quite by accident, into the dress department. There was a sale going on. I came out without a shower gift, but I scored two dresses for $50. Yay, me.

Just bought a beautiful dress at Dress Barn (my first trip there ever, and only because I saw the dress in the window) for $40, which I will wear to two weddings this summer. The dress I wore to the past four weddings was only $60 at Macy’s, plus some alterations because it was a little long. It takes a lot of looking, but it can be done. Thanks for taking some of the challenge out of it. Now we can put that effort towards the wedding gifts. What do you get a couple who already has two of everything?

I saw the start of the dresses yesterday and my first thought was ‘oh, thank god!’ My boyfriend was invited to a wedding next month and (assuming we go) I’m supposed to be his plus one. The last time I went to a wedding was… at least thirteen years ago. The dress code was majorly different then.

You rock Maggie!
