Question {from Anna M.} : Hey Jacqueline! Hope you can help me out. I'm planning a wedding on a very quick timeline.  I know it can take a really long time to order a dress from a bridal salon.  Are there any great "off the rack" options I can try in the NYC area?

Answer: Great question, Anna! As a Manhattan-based fashion stylist, Bergdorf Goodman can literally be my office... I'm there several times a week perusing the pretty for all kinds of clients.  In fact, I was shopping for an uber-chic mother of the bride this week, and came across these five fab gowns that might work for you.  They each have very "bridal" elements, while also being chic, fashion-forward, and most importantly, ready to buy! I'm sort of obsessed with them {added bonus: A few even have very "non-wedding dress" prices}.  Without knowing more about your bridal style, I hope this is a good start!

p.s. Readers, Would you wear any of these on your wedding day?

xx,
