Where to find "dressy" baby clothes?

nutmegger · May 2010

Nora will be going with us to my cousin's wedding in July (she'll be 8 months) and I'd like to find something cute for her to wear. It's at a swanky hotel, so I'm assuming it's a fairly fancy reception.

I'm planning to look at a couple of consignment stores in the area, but where else should I look? I really don't want to spend more than like $25 on a dress since she'll probably only wear it once and I know I'll probably also have to buy shoes for her too. I've looked at Janie and Jack online and will see if they have anything in the store, and Baby Gap doesn't have much. I'm drawing a blank on other stores.

Macy's has a ton of dresses for babies. They always have coupons too.

Lord and Taylor and Macy's have cute fancy stuff. Nordstrom has more trendy expensive stuff IMO. You could also look @ Gymboree and Children's Place, but those are hit or miss IMO.

Oh my gosh, this dress is absolutely precious! It's on sale for only $14.

Here is the link, let me know if you can see it.

Maybe Etsy... although I just checked and it looks like those dresses are expensive. Maybe Babies R Us, they always seem to have 20% coupons floating around.
