So I'm in the market for a dress to wear to my husband's retirement. For you savvy online shoppers, where is a good place to find appropriate dresses. I'm not a dress person other than the ball. Most of the sites I've seen are a little too dressy for what I'm looking for.
TIA

I posted it on the LU also for maximum input.

I know right. What more could I ask for, cheap dresses and eye candy. lol

I just started thinking about it today so I haven't looked anywhere. I will actually get off my arse and go look in about a month. I'm just trying to get ideas right now.

I have these shoes and was hoping to match something to them but if I don't, it's no biggie - just means I have to buy more shoes. ;P

I am not a heels or dress person (unless it's the ball) so I want to be comfortable but presentable. My normal jeans, shirt and flip flops isn't going to cut it this time. lol

I checked Nordstrom - nothing jumped out at me.
I started looking at Macy's but didn't finish so I will go back.
Didn't think about WHBM, I'll check there - thanks.

I like modcloth. www.modcloth.com, they have a lot of different styles. Mainly it's classic/vintage inspired and geared toward a younger crowd. It can still be appropriate for all ages. I think I found it through someone that used to be on here.

I actually found a dress by accident at the exchange. I'm
Still going to look in case I find something I like better. But at least I have one to fall back on. It was scary seeing me in a shorter dress. lol. Its been about 10 years since I've worn something above the knees.
