2014 White Dress Sightings
Please post your white dress sightings so that the 2014/2015 PNMs have an easier time finding that sometimes elusive white dress for rituals. Please post dresses that would comply with the majority of NPC ritual standards, i.e. modest (hem not too short, neckline not too low, dress not too tight, etc.) and pure white(not ivory, cream, eggshell, or ecru, etc.). If there is trim, it must be white.
I have heard that some sororities want their members' dresses to have some sort of sleeve. If that is the case, and your dress is sleeveless, a white shrug or white sweater might suffice, but it would be the determination of the officer in charge if you dress passes muster or not.
PNMs: even if you will not be rushing until Spring semester 2015, it will be a lot easier to find a white dress now than in the dead of winter. If you are a 2014 Fall PNM, start looking NOW!! As time draws nearer your fall recruitment date, it will become harder to find that all white dress! At some colleges the New Members wear their white dresses to bid day celebrations. Even if that doesn't happen at your school, pledge ceremonies usually happen quickly after bid day, and there may be no time (or no white dresses in the stores) if you arrive at school without a white dress and have to look locally.
There are a few sororities that do not wear white for their rituals, but since you have NO WAY of knowing which sorority you will receive a bid from, I would recommend arriving to campus prepared with a white dress.

I think 7/9 of them are great...I'd avoid spaghetti straps and the one with no straps/sleeves at all.

I agree. If a PNM went for #s 4 or 6, they should bring an all white sweater with them, just in case. #9 looks fine on the dress maker's form, but I scrolled down thru the customer reviews and one customer had posted two photos of herself in the dress. YIKES!! Dress #9 is not for the shapely, and it would probably be best avoided by the PNMs.
BUT ...they are all true pure white dresses, with no color trim, and that is the color that the PNMs should aim for!

Some from the junior's section of Kohls. All of them would need a sweater or shrug.

I think some of them might be a little on the short side for a taller girl.

I saw a number on Zulily not long ago when I was looking - our new initiates were complaining how hard it was to find a white dress - I found 11 on Zulily in 30 seconds.

New York and Company (TONS!), Old Navy, JC Penney, and Ann Taylor LOFT had loads of white dresses within the last week.

I should point the girls in the one chapter I advise to this thread, some of them need help with their whites.
From J. Crew - really cute.

Please don't judge me for this post from 1998, but...
Delia's still exists apparently, and they TOTALLY have a great selection of white dresses!

Pardon me while I find my JNCOs, tattoo choker and rainbow ringer tee.

For bigger pnms, I've seen lots of white dresses at Ashley Stewart that have cap sleeves. Also seen some at Macy's too by Guess, Calvin Klein, etc.
