I haven't shopped for yom tov clothes for myself in a long while. I have little kids and am nursing, so I have to keep that in mind. I won't have time to go to more than one store/area, so I have to make it count. Where do yiu recommend?

(For reference, frum leaning towards yeshivishe, average height and weight, don't want to spend a fortune, but expect to pay up to $150 ish for a dress/outfit)

Before going out to stores, did you check on line.
Macys, lord and Taylor, off fifth, Nordstrom rack, Ann Taylor.
I live OOT, I always find in these stores. Never do I find in the Brooklyn stores.

Skip unique boutique

Go to Fallon's. I got four beautiful dresses today for a total of $390. I love that place!

They are on Bedford, right off J. In a basement.

They carry clothing for frum women and girls. Dresses, skirts, tops, tees, sweaters, robes, tights, shells...

Thanks! Is it by appointment only or do they have regular hours?

Op.

Fallons sounds interesting! I've never heard of them. Hours?

Is anyone else totally not feeling the t shirt dress trend? I've seen some people it looks ok on, but for me, it emphasizes all my problem areas, and I think on most people it looks like a swimming cover up ir something.

Do they cater to a young crowd only or would a middle aged woman on the bigger size do well there?

Op here.

So I tried fallons and fashion island. Both had nice stuff and nice staff, but I didn't find anything. I also tried century 21 and macys, with no luck. I have a simcha this week and all of yom tov coming up--where else can I try?

Did you try forever young? It's a similar idea to fallons, but they have different clothes as well. They have great prices. Let me know if you need location

Thanks for the suggestions.
Follow up questions:
Where is forever young?

Do unique botique and elzees cater only to a younger crowd? (I'm 30, and though I'm relatively slender, clothing meant for a teen won't flatter me!)

What type of clothing does le bon carry?

Op again.

Any other recommendations for not jewish stores? I think if I could find things that are long enough, that would suit me better than the styles I'm seeing in the frum stores. Tha nks!
