completely OT but need help!! Wedding attire!!

Hello ladies...

Well as you may or not already know... hubby is getting deployed, he will be going to Kuwait end of June... I will be going home to Miami since I dont know anyone here yet and plus I want to be able to save the rent money... anyways... the week after I get down there I have a close friends wedding... a lot of ppl i havent seen since I got married and moved to Virginia, and a lot of people that have talked crap about me getting married and having a child so young... I REALLLY want to shut them up... and have them eat their words, so i wanna make a statement I wanna look better than anyone there!! lol... Hubby doesnt know this but I am gonna pamper myself and buy a nice dress get my nails and hair done, but im not sure what kind of dress to buy, I also have another friends wedding two weeks after the first one, and this one although is not as important to make a statement i do wanna look good cause (coincidentially) he fiancee is the son of one of my moms cousins so lots of distant family that have really strong beliefs about getting a diploma then thinking about kids...

Anyways... I am stuck on the dress, I HAVENT wore a elegant dress since my wedding day!! yea 2 1/2 years... and after pregnancy i do not know what size i am ... i want a really nice dress but since i have to buy 2 i dont want to spend a lot on them... at most 150 on both?? i am looking online and really like a couple that i see but dont have the money yet and dont wanna wait too long in case it doesnt fit... if i buy at a store it will probly be easier to return if i find a better deal but, i havent seen too many i like in stores... at least not where i've looked...

I am 5'0 and about 130lbs 34c bra size about 28" waist and 41" hips so its really hard to find something that fits and looks good... 3/4 dresses look too long, short dresses look too short to the point that i cant even bend down with them on (cause of my big butt), and then there's the chest problem.... the ones that fit on hte hips are big on the chest... i really dont want anything too fit to my body because i do NOT have the same body i did when i got pregnant, but i dont want anyone to know that... lol...

do you ladies know of any stores or websites that sell cheap pretty dresses?? Also remember I am only 22 but have a child so i dont want to look too junior but i do want to look my age... any suggestions on dress styles are welcome!! I have to buy the first dress before i leave for florida, but the 2nd i can get there...

I would suggest one dress super nice tailored that way you can spent the extra money to have it tailored and look drop dead gorgeous!  Go to Davids bridal try on dresses see what looks great then go online and look through websites for dresses that look like the ones you liked on your body :)

Check out Davids Bridal. The stores are great and dresses are around 100 and tailor in store. But I'd say get it tailored elsewhere for less money. You can get a dress hemmed and altered. Get spanx brand pantyhose it will suck everything in. It's like a tummy tuck!
