Any fairy godmothers out there who can help out a Cinderella-type in need?
I will be attending a black tie event here on Oahu very, very soon. I don't want to spend a ton of money on a dress I'll never wear again, so I wanted recommendations from anyone who knows of places that carry discounted formalware/gently used formal dresses.
Most of the dresses I find are either too big (I'm a small size two), in "young colors/cuts" that make me look like I'm going to a high school prom (not good, since I'm in my mid-20s and am already often mistaken for being much younger), or just outdated 80s-style/gaudy. Ideally I'd like to find a simple dress, perhaps all one color, with minimal embellishments, floor-length but with a slit so I can actually walk without feeling hobbled (picky, aren't I? )
Places I've checked so far:
Goodwill Store on Beretania
Salvation Army store on Nimitz
Savers
Ross on Ward
Saks in Waikele Outlet Stores
Sears in Ala Moana
Macy's in Ala Moana
Somebody mentioned consignment stores or stores in Downtown (Chinatown?); anybody have any suggestions for specific places? I'm willing to drive anywhere on Oahu, as long as they might have what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance as always...
