Generally the cheap dresses (like Forever21) aren't as well made and don't fit as well, but if you order now you have time to try them on and tailor them if you need to. Forever21 can be very slow with shipping, also. Modcloth has flat rate $7 shipping and free returns, but because they use a huge variety of designers you HAVE to measure yourself and use the measuring guide on each garment to make sure you'll order the right size, and again, order early enough to tailor if need be. That last dress, by the way, I tried on for a spring formal and LOVED it. It's expensive, but you'll look like a million bucks in it and you'll be able to use it for other events later (that's true of most of these dresses). By the way if you have a Target near you it's a great place to find shoes.
I looooooovvvveeeeee online shopping, even if it's not for me.  |
In my own *personal* opinion, Forever21 is generally not appropriate for Pref...or really anything except the bar/club. They're kind of in the same category to me as Wet Slu...I mean Seal.
I do like the Nanette Lepore Glass Heart Sheath, and I LOOOVE Saks. We have an Off Fifth Saks here, and they constantly have 50% off clearance sales and FABULOUS deals. I just got this one from Chetta B (orig. $335) for $17.50:
Too heavy for Pref, but the style is more what I would look for. Remember, you're trying to impress GIRLS, not GUYS.
(Alumiyum, nothing against your choice - like I said, I'm personally more conservative
).
