| Hi! Any ideas as to an affordable outfit for a Derby party? I’m in my early 40s and am petite if that’s helpful. Thanks! |

| Do you belong to a buy nothing group? I would try to borrow something. Otherwise, get a fascinator or hat and wear a sundress (whatever you have already) |

| Go to Goodwill/secondhand for the dress and buy a cheap hat online. |

Almost any festive / "day cocktail" dress will work if you slap a fascinator on. You can get them on amazon for quite cheap. One example, but just do a search:

Do you consider this affordable? |

I mean it is affordable for me. It also really bugs me when people say “affordable” or “won’t break the bank” without posting a budget, because that can mean $5 to $5,000. |

You clearly missed the sarcasm |

Agree that a cocktail dress with fascinator or hat is fine. Alternatively a nice suit or pantsuit. |

| Vinyard Vines has a Kentucky Derby line, and they literally have a dress with the horses coming out of the gate on it, lol. Look to get inspiration, then look at second hand or a less expensive mall retailer for a dress, jumper or romper that works. The big thing is the hat though. You need a hat. I'd find a hat, then build around that. https://www.vineyardvines.com/category/derby-women-shop/?nav=category--derby-pillheader--derby-women-shop---- |
