Request: A Red Dress

Thanks to Laura, Annie's wonderful friend, we are adding a new feature to our site. From now on, you can ask us to search for anything you want within whatever price range you choose, and we promise to find as many options for you as soon as we can. To request an item, comment on this post, or any subsequent request posts (any post within the "request" section of the website), with a description of what you're looking for, how much you want to spend on it, and, if you have a particular look in mind, list a couple of adjectives to describe your personal style to help us narrow down your options. We are open to any and all requests, so don't be shy!


Not only was Laura brilliant enough to come up with this idea, but she also just happens to be our first requester. Laura will be attending the Red Dress Gala, which is an annual charity event put on every year by the Alpha Phi sorority in support of the American Heart Association. Laura needs a red dress for the event, and is hoping to spend around $60 on it. We've listed options below, in order how price, from lowest to highest. Also, we've included some helpful hints where necessary. We hope this helps, Laura!



Price: $15

Who: GRASS, What: Stretch Satin Belted Dress, Where: www.15dollarstore.com


*If you don't like the belt, remove it and carefully cut the belt loops off with sewing (or very sharp) scissors. Voila, it's a corset dress!

*If you order this dress-- or anything from Forever 21-- online, keep in mind that Forever 21 sizes can be a little off. Word of advice: be sure to leave enough time when you order it so that you can return it if it doesn't fit.
