white suit/dress
 

I know that this has been discussed many times over, but does anyone know where I could find a white suit or dress to wear of initiation?

I would check the sale racks of local stores and depending on the size you need, places like Chadwicks, Lerner, Speigel, Jessica London and Roaman's usually have these in stock year-round.


You also need to make sure if it has to be pure white w/white trim or if metallic buttons are OK. For some groups, there can't be any other color other than white. Ivory won't count, either.

white dresses
 

My mother and I found lovely, basically new white dresses at our local thrift shop for $12.99 each!

thank you for the great sites, PnguinTrax. Yes, I was told that it had to be white, no ivory, cream or off white.

I got a decent white shift dress and a white cardigan earlier this year from Boston Proper:

Just a question; does it have to be a white dress can it be a pant suit? The only thing that everyone keeps on metioning are skirt suits or dress. Are pants acceptable?

Stephanie:confused:

I think palazzo pants (whew..showing my age...anyway, those big wide-legged pants that look like a long skirt) or a very classy white suit would be OK, but definitely check with the sisters first.

I'm in Miami so I don't know if this would apply everywhere, but...
Express has tons of pure white dresses, skirts, nice tops. They also have ivory stuff too.
This is surpising considering its November:D

Hi Stephanie!

It *does* need to be a white dress or skirt suit. No pants whatsoever. :(

Good Luck!!!!

best place to go....
 

I say that would be either if you have a ROSS nearby or a JC Penny or Sears....

I find i have better luck if i need something is at ROSS.

All else fails, try your hand at making a white skirt since white tops are easier to find in general this time o' year :)

My freshman year my best buddy Jen was joining Sigma Kappa and we went shopping together and could find NOTHING!!!

We went to WalMart, bought some white fabric and elastic, and I whipped out my sewing machine, took her measurements, and made a pretty good-looking skirt! She looked really nice for her initiation :)

Another place to find a skirt if you are desperate is Life Uniform, or any other place that sells nurses' uniforms. Not the most fashionable, but it is white and it is a skirt. :D

sewing is a good thing...
 

I found my dress weeks before intiation and i was even contemplating making a dress or skirt. But i never thought of a uniform store. Yes, SHirts/ blouses are easy to find.
