Help! I need a black strapless dress.

nancypants · Jul 14th, 2008, 07:21 PM

Actually, I need 5 of them. I have seen so many dresses that they're all starting to look alike. I'd like to find a black strapless dress or even one with straps that's cute, kinda cocktail-ly, not too too sexy and chic... oh, and reasonably priced. Since I need 5 of them, it'd be nice if they were under $100. I'm trying to find them for my Bridesmaids but it's becoming impossible. help!

They carry really trendy and inexpensive cocktail and prom dresses. I hope this helps.

All from the link I posted.

These are all under $100, but they are a bit sexy. Hope this helps.

Yes, jcrew usually has a very simple (and flattering) strapless black dress that runs about $90. In past years it has been called the "embossed beach dress", and they usually have it in black.

I just posted about the Victoria's 7-in-1 dress...I think it would be a great bridesmaid solution since it's the same dress, but depending on each girl's body type and style they can adjust it different ways! (Not to mention they can wear it one way for the ceremony, then switch up the same dress for the reception.)

Victoria's Secret 7-in-1 dress....

Hmm you can check out RW&Co (i don't know if they have this in the states)
There's two on the website that I quite liked images were flash so I was unable to save
DELICATE AND ELEGANT DRESS (i liked the bottom where it is semi-transparent)
PRETTY DANCING DRESS (the strapless dress - i like the pattern:) )
if you can check - when the dresses goes on clearance -- it is like 10$ for one dress :)

Black Tube Dress -70$

J.Crew bridesmaid dresses are my absolute favorite. The Weddings collection runs around $200 and up but the dresses are incredibly well made and are actually something you could wear more than once. Their "beach dress" is more casual since it's cotton seersucker, but it's also really cute. They are having a sale right now and sometimes the Weddings Collection dresses go on sale. It's worth a look!

Try BCBG. They are having a big sale.

$143 from Saks.com.

Robert Rodriguez dress from Revolve $108.

I like this dress from Valentino Red, on sale at Saks.com for $219.
