White Dress Sightings for PNMS
 

I thought it might be helpful to PNMs if we listed places where we have seen white dresses that would be suitable for ritual requirements:

I saw a white dress at Target last week that was too cute. It was all white eyelet-the whole dress was lined, it had a faux wrap bodice and an a-line skirt. It was sleeveless, but interested PNMs could easily find a white short sleeved cardigan to cover their arms if that is a requirement of the sorority they join. The dress was $24.99.

PNMS-as you shop for your white dress, keep in mind that it should be pure white-not eggshell, or ecru, or vanilla, or antique, etc. Any decorative trim should also be pure white. The design should be modest-not too short, too tight, or too low cut.

Here is a plus-size option with short sleeves:

H&M had a cute (cheap!) white dress. I can't remember the exact details, but I remember it has spaghetti straps.

Found this cute one at Loft.

I kind of want to buy it for myself :p

I received the Nicolette dress as a birthday present and I absolutely love it!

Mango has some great options this season, this is one I really like with Sleeves and embroidery

In love with this one from Zara

ASOS has this cute tulip dress

This one from Urban Outfitters is lovely, I've seen it on someone, and it's a bit longer than it looks on the model.

PNMs! Heed this advice and buy a white dress now! They're awfully hard to find once school starts, yes, even in early August!

My daughter needed a white dress to wear under her graduation gown. We ordered a linen dress from Lands' End. It just arrived yesterday and it's really cute, and can do double duty if she receives a bid next year. Everything at Lands' End is 30% off, plus free shipping, through Tuesday. We ordered some sundresses, too. They have some really cute dresses this summer!

Yes! What she said!

^^^ Gamma Phi does allow off-white, cream, ecru, etc., but I'd still play it safe and buy pure white.

Also, avoid any type of print...even teeny-tiny flowers on a white background would be a no-no.

And if you buy a dress that's strapless or has spaghetti straps...or that shows your shoulders at all...be prepared to buy a pure white blazer or cardigan too, just in case. (You need a white cardigan no matter what anyway.)
