And "too short" means above the knee for some groups.

While you are out shopping - don't forget white shoes!
Strappy sandals are cute, but get something you can stand in for a while.
For a lot of chapters, even if you don't need a white dress for bid day, you might also need one for initiation. It is really hard to find anything white in October.

Also take note that your feet may swell while standing for a while, so those cute strappy sandals that are a touch tight may not be the best choice...

I saw a couple cute ones at Dillard's the other day, however they were in the junior's department so only shorter/smaller girls could probably get away with them.

^ Not all of those are suitable, remember to avoid prints or anything that isn't pure white! Also juniors is NOT for tall girls (not typically a fan of the jr's section after high school, but I know how difficult it can be to find a white dress)!

Not every group allows sandals. Some require closed toe shoes.
White ballet flats are pretty safe.

We've found fantastic white dresses on eBay.

I feel like I always say this but remember thrift stores (Salvation Army, Goodwill, etc) and places like Plato's Closet can sometimes have great stuff too, you might just have to hunt a bit. Luckily white dresses aren't hard to spot.
Also remember that you may need white or nude undergarments (your group may specify white, otherwise I'd go with nude) so make sure to pick up one of each as well. Same goes for a good slip, if your dress isn't lined and any kind of shape wear if it would make your more comfortable. Some groups also require pantyhose but that could be picked up last minute. Make sure everything works together. Nothing worse than being able to see someone's blue leopard underwear under her dress. I wish I wasn't speaking from experience on this...

^^^ What she said. And yes, we can tell that you're wearing a thong under your white dress too, so don't think that is a solution.

A good option for white shoes is Dyeables. They offer several closed-toe flats, low heels, and high heels. When I got married, I wore Dyeables low-heeled shoes from David's Bridal. They were quite comfortable, which was important since I knew I'd be doing a lot of standing, dancing, etc. that day. (You can order them online, but I wouldn't recommend it - you really need to try them on or you could end up with a really uncomfortable pair of shoes, and it's not like you can just kick them off in the middle of ritual )
