|  Looking for a *tacky* wedding dress! I am planning my best friend's bachelorette party for the end of the month and I've came up with a pretty good idea..or so I think!   I am asking everyone to wear gaudy formal wear, like poofy prom dresses and feather boas, etc. Then, I want to have a wedding gown for Amanda to wear. I'm thinking the uglier the better...long sleeves, full train, beading, the works! My problem is that I can't find one here in town! I just looked on ebay but I can't find one tacky enough! Would you mind checking the goodwill/ salvation army stores in your area for me??? You can not even imagine how appreciative I am to anyone willing to help me out. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

| What a great idea!!! I just found this one on ebay, but the starting bid is $499. No way they're getting that. I'll keep my eyes peeled for you online ... no thrift stores where I am. |

| I was also going to mention... normally the tackier ones date back and the sizing is not comparable to today's sizing. For instance.... the 80s bbq for the b-day girl (21) they took a wedding dress from goodwill size 8 ... well she is a size 2-4 in today's world so be careful if ordering an older size.

| Do you have a Salvation Army Store near you? Or a consignment shop? I frequent our SA Store and there are currently a couple wedding gowns of questionable class (so many beads and bling they must weigh a ton  ) and some pretty hideous gowns. Extremely cheap!!! If you do have any, keep an eye out for half-off day. Good luck - that's a super idea. You must post pics. OOP! Just reread your OP. Missed the last sentence, lol. I'll be happy to check back at ours. I think the one dress was about $45 and a size 10 or 12. But, my memory only lasts about 20 minutes, so I'll have to go back and check again .

As far as size goes, she wears about an 8 or 10. I think her waist is about 30-32 inches...I'm guessing. I don't care a whole lot if it fits perfect or not because I can also alter it and add a lace up back or something..no worries about making the dress look any worse! I don't want to spend a whole lot of money...probably $50 is my maximum. You ladies have no idea how much I appreciate your help! You're the best!!
