Hot Pink Hunt

Girls, I'm asking a favor.

I am on the lookout for a hot/neon pink cocktail dress for my sister's rehearsal dinner. I just want to wear hot, neon pink because it's an amazing color. So have y'all seen any said color dresses that are fun and flattering but also rehearsal dinner approps?! If so...send any ideas my way. Please, please, please! [And though I'm a maxi fanatic, I'm looking for cocktail length since we're wearing long dresses the on wedding day.]
 
I went to two local consignment stores yesterday and didn't see anything. I'm not trying to spend a fortune...because that's just not my jam. :)
 
Inspiration:

This dress is perfection. I'm obsessed with it. But it's on back-order nearly everywhere...and even if it were available, I'm not spending $280 on a dress. (Oh, yes. That is Kim K rocking the dress. Don't hate. Mark has been traveling for work and I am almost all the way caught up on last season when North was born. Yep. I will return watching it as soon as I publish this post. Also my booty is large too. So if she can rock that dress, so can I. Truth. Owning it.)

Love this. But I think I'll get too hot in long sleeves on May 31. This price point is what I'm talking about thought...$39. Bam.

Yes, I professionally stalked and pinned this now out of stock dress by Naven after someone wore it to a rose ceremony on the Bachelor this past season. I think it was Andi? #confessions Anyway, Naven knows how to nail this color (they call it pop pink!), but it's still out of my price range at $253. Which brings to ask: why isn't Naven on Rent the Runway?!?!? That would've solved this problem. Meh.

Cute. But too much for an extended family filled rehearsal dinner with a cutout back?! I don't know. What do you think? $79 for this one which isn't too shabby. Only available for pre-order at the moment. Meh again.
 
Okay, girlies...I'll take any thoughts/ideas/opinions. Or a slap of reality to choose another color. That works too. Help a sista out. But I still love me some hot pink dresses the most. Thanks, lovelies. Comment below or holler at me via email! {cheersyall.elise [at] gmail.com} Woopwoop!

Cheers, my dears!

    I love the long sleeved one. Have you checked Rent The Runway website? I'm sure they'll have a cute dress you can wear there. My cousin always gets such amazing dresses from them!

    Love this look. Can't sleep so I spooked around...I found some things...the first one isn't completely pink but I've seen it in person and it's perfect for a rehearsal dinner.

    Also found this which is spot on for color but a bit more structured: https://m.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/katespadenewyork_dresses/caroldress

    Sleeves but it seems really light weight? http://shopriffraff.com/collections/dresses/products/wrapped-in-harmony-pink
    Did you try ebay for the Kim K one you love?

    Oh my gosh if you find any good sites let me know, I am looking for a dress for the same reason! And I love the idea of neon pink.
    I am not sure what your budget really is or how fancy you want, but you can check out reddressboutique.com - they always have bright colors!

    I'm in love with the last one. I think it's just the right amount of sassiness with still being classy!

    Another vote for Rent the Runway! You can search by color and the prices just can't be beat.

    I think the last one is so precious but still classy. I think for the rehearsal dinner those cutouts would be fine...Im emailing you now!

    Love these! That 2nd one is my favorite! So sad it's out of stock. I found a fun dress this color last summer on Revolve Clothing. But some of their stuff is def spendy. Might be worth a look. :)

    Have you ever tried Rent the Runway? I see other people have mentioned it, too. I use them all the time and I am obsessed! I tend to be someone who will spend money on a dress and then never wear it again. I've had such luck with them. Here are a bunch, most within your price range!:

    I love the long sleeve one -- what about taking it to a tailor and having them alter the sleeves? I think it would look gorgeous sleeveless and it would probably be really inexpensive to do!

    Polyvore is great for this...I just searched on there for "hot pink dress" you get a ton of hits.

    This one was my favorite though and it's SO different:

    Ok love so I totally haven't checked out any pink (total friend fail) but loving the color and you will look amazing. Can I just stop and say how jealous I am that you have a booty? What I wouldn't give for one. Seriously. You're going to have the best time!
