Glitzy tops

[gypsyrose]

These are impossible to find!! Where can I go in search of a really nice top to go w/ velvet pants? I have worn the same 1 for the past 2 cruises and you can imagine my formal photos. Same outfit, different hair:rolleyes: Don't want to pay a small fortune just to wear on the cruise. ANy ideas?? Checked ebay...nothing. Help!

Hi:)

 

Do you have a Steinmart nearby? Or Dillards? Or any major

dept stores?

I have always found plenty of dressy items at both of the

ones I mentioned.

 

Good luck with your search:)

I like Cache for dressy tops.

[cb at sea]

All the major dept. stores carry tons of those tops!

Got my new one in December at Dress Barn. Obviously, right before the winter holidays is a good time to find them!

And right after at the sales:D . How about Coldwater Creek online? Keep checking eBay, too. good luck.

Anything by Cache, Mary J. Couture, Sky, and BCBG Max Azria.

 

Search all on ebay for the best deals. I can usually find the Sky tops for under $100 whereas they retail for closer to $200.

I was actually at Penney's yesterday and they had quite a few--I also agree with SteinMart.

There are some really dressy ones at Dillards.com:

I noticed a bunch on clearance at Sierra Trading post earlier today (www.sierratradingpost.com) I think this is my favorite but it doesn't come in my size:(

"Glitzy" can mean a lot of things. Is there a particular style you're looking for?

[celbercrz333]

With prom season around the corner, you might find something that way. However, if you're a plus size like me (size 18), then you need to look online at plus size catalogs. They have all kinds of items for wearing to a wedding. You might rethink the velvet and go for more Springlike fashions.

Chicos and White House, Black Market have lots of glitzy tops. Check those stores. Good luck!

[Chesneygirl]

I was just at Ann Taylor loft and they had some gold glitzy tops there and a few silky/satiny black tops as well. All were on the clearance rack. If you don't have one near you try them on line.

[crewmom24]

I've bought 3 different glitzy tops on e-bay in the last couple weeks. The most I paid was $19. Search formal tops.

[crewmom24]

Oh, and I also bought one at Steinmart for about $12 last week. I think the regular price was $60. Now I have so many, I may have to wear a formal top every night.

I bought a beautiful silver sparkley sweater set very dressy for our cruise to caribbean and I washed it before I left and oh my heavens I had silver every where and on everyone that got close to me, so I will wash a few more times in hopes it will tone down some, but it did look very nice.

Try www.venus.com. They have great clothing and swimwear. I find their sizing accurate too. I've bought a lot of dressy tops there and the clearance and sale sections have some great deals.

How about this one??

beading around the top and bottom, simple but dressy.

WOW! Unbelievable. You guys are amazing. I have spent over an hour at the sites you named. I did bid on a hot pink beaded top on ebay. Never done this before so not even sure if I know what I am doing. Just didn't want to spend more than $25 and have absolutely no time to head to Charlotte. Nothing in my town. Thanks guys, a bunch.

Gypsyrose,

Good luck on your bid! I saw that top when I was searching for something, very pretty!

[mauiedin87]

Two words. Resale/consignment stores. At least in my area they are loaded with them, in any color, any size, any weight. :D

[sandij]

Just be careful, those beaded tops weigh several pounds and there are all those airline weight restrictions now.

OMG! I have to stay off of ebay for a few weeks or even a month. I found some gorgeous dresses. Bought 2 formals ,Also 2 cocktail dresses spent* Check out these sellers. Big city outlet and BH factory. regular prices total around 450.00 paid 246.00 thats with shipping and handling.

[misty57]

Chadwicks is often good for inexpensive formal wear. I found my dress for my daughter's wedding on their web site.

I'm not a regular customer of ebay. I just took a look and it appeared you had to have an account name and bid? I just wanted to make a purchase. :confused:

 

Everywhere I look, it seems either the dressy clothes are heavy/wintry looking or totally sleeveless. Cruising in May so I don't want something like the former. OTOH, my upper arms are very heavy and I'd look awful in something sleeveless. I need a short sleeve dressy looking top but they seem hard to find.
