Wondering if you Mamas have a suggestion for where to get the dress, shoes, veil, etc?

I'm not opposed to buying used, so I'm already looking on ebay.

Thanks Mamas!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Well I'm already looking on eBay and have a couple of finds. If I have to break down and go to a dept store, I will of course.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I know people who go to David's Bridal (try online, too). Also, try Craigslist.

And for something in your area - just Google communion dresses.

Most of the major Dept stores have them. I bought ours last year at Macy's, shoes at Payless I believe, and my cousin made the veil. I saw veils at Nordstroms but they were like $70.

We got ours at Dillard's, they usually have a large selection (not the veil though, daughter wasn't the veil type). Also look at consignment shops the specialize in bridal wear.

I saw the most beautiful assortment of Communion dresses at Von Maur a couple weeks ago. Their children's shoe dept. is excellent.

Consignment shops will usually have a few though sometimes sizes are limited. I'm pretty sure JC Pennys sells them.
