Very true...that top one would not be appropriate for a late fall/winter ceremony...

Also, the top one appears to have a pink-ish skirt...some GLOs (or individual chapters) won't mind, but others are strict about NO COLOR.

I agree about the first white dress- it would not have been approved for ritual in my chapter since it is slightly pink.

The burgundy dress is very classic- you can always make it more "youthful" with some earrings and/or a bracelet that is "you".

Oh I also love the sundress, especially if you find a cardigan to go with it.

Good luck!

I like the second bid day dress. That's the one I originally wanted to get for initiation, but I couldn't get it on time.

sundress-too cute!! check j.crew for a sweater.

burgundy dress would be good for pref.

pink/black dress would be good for sorority semiformal.

2nd white dress is good for ritual stuff.

wouldn't suggest keeping this thread up... if you're a PNM, you shouldn't be advertising online what you'll be wearing. I recommend taking it to PM or email... Just saying. We advise PNM's writing their recruitment stories in real time to steer away from specifics, such as what they were wearing or what happened at each party. I think this is a similar issue.

I certainly want you to look your best and am happy to add suggestions, but believe that you might want to be more discreet than publishing what you specifically plan to wear each round (or are thinking about wearing).

Good luck!!!

adpiucf, I truly appreciate your concern. However I highly doubt someone will place my identity from a dress that I posted online. Especially considering it's.. well.. a dress and many other girls will be wearing dresses. The chances of girls wearing the same dresses are very likely, rght? Besides, I have not made a single inappropriate post on this message board. So if for some 1 in 10,000,000 shot someone "discovered" me- I have nothing to be ashamed of.

Anyway, who is to say that I will purchase these EXACT dresses? Maybe I've posted dresses that are similar to ones that I am considering purchasing.

-------------------------------------

Thanks for all of the input everyone. I am truly struggling with the sundress quest. If anyone knows of any specific designers or websites that have particularly classy sundresses, please let me know.

i was just on the ann taylor website and some of the dresses and sundresses are on sale. be sure to check out the "special occasions" site.

We've touched on something here that is probably worth saying directly: if you join a group that requires a white dress, you might need it for more than that one occasion, and the more you can get something timeless, conservatively modest that you are really comfortable in, the more wear you might get out of it.

(Since really, the chances that we have in life to wear all white dresses are usually pretty slim, does it make that much sense to have to get several of them?)

About posting stuff that could possibly make you identifiable in real life, I understand why it seems like you shouldn't have to worry, but apparently the craziness of some GCers can't be overestimated.
