Those are closer, but as a matter of personal tastes (and what we would see on pref night on my own campus), I prefer these:

Red One This one comes in other colors - but maybe only black

LBD #1

"Silver" * I would say this is silver-ish

Navy (this one comes in other colors)

all those links just go to the Target homepage HOWEVER, I HAVE found some very nice semi-formal type dresses there before. So I won't discourage you :-)

The navy is my favorite! I especially like it with the cute belt.

I might just have to get myself one for only $30

If the title of the page has something like "merona women's twist..." scroll all the way down to the bottom - I have no idea why Target's website is so funky.

Must be the whole intertubes are having a formatting error tonight.

It's best to try on ANYTHING you buy, but that is a good point to consider...I'm short so I very rarely have length problems (well, too short anyway...almost everything is too long), but a lot of my dresses from there would probably be way too short for recruitment on someone who is 5'9"+.

Stores like Forever21 are very hit and miss. Sometimes they will have dresses that do not look cheap, are classy, and appropriate for the occasion. Sometimes there won't be one thing that would be appropriate. It's partially luck.

All the dresses agzg would be good examples of what to look for if you are getting a pref dress from Target.

Do be sure to try things on, and if you order online give yourself enough time to send them back for a different size if the first one doesn't fit. I've called my local Target before, too, to see if they had an item I saw online in store. Usually they did and they were always helpful.

You can also return items bought online to the local store, whether or not they carry it locally.

Best idea, though, is if there's a Target in your area, check it first. That way you can try on and not waste your time on dresses that will be to short or fit weird (and Target really does have a very finicky fit).

Time problem solved, then. So to the OP, Target might just be the place to go after all.

I also buy a LOT of my accessories there, so if you find the right dress, it can be a one stop shop if you need shoes or jewelry to go with it. My local store at least seems to have a pretty good selection year round and it's usually easy to find things that look exactly like what I see in boutiques, for wayyyyyyy less.

I saw some really cute shoes at Target the last time I was there.

Particularly if you like flats (I really do).

[Aerylle]

Well I was planning on hitting Target for some last minute items anyway so I'll check there to see if they have any good dresses as well!

Thank you everyone!

Navy one is my favorite and IMO the most appropriate. Good work, great price and you'll be able to wear that one again.

Hi am rushing this semester at University of Miami and I am a sophomore. I really need some help in deciding what to wear for preference night. The rush guide says semi formal/cocktail dress but I am not sure what that is. I would really appreciate the help! Also is this dress to formal?
Thanks!

Without knowing what school you attend, I'd say it's a bit racy for Pref.

Like I said in your other threads, it's too bare, too short and too low cut. Dress to impress other women, not to attract guys.
