As a last resort...a store where they sell wedding dresses & prom dresses but they might be OTT.
As it's late Spring I would go for a shorter (knee length) dress...I'd only wear a long one at around Christmastime.
He he.....are you going to get a manicure and hair-do for the occasion too LOL!

But surely this is one of those occasions where 'the little black dress' (+/- pearls ) will do just perfectly?
Have fun! [better not too much though, seeing it's 'work'...]

Found this too: http://www3.shopping.com/xDN-Clothin...dresses~V-grid
I would personally steer clear of any "satin" ones... they look like long lingerie.

I'm completely clothed by J.C. Penney! LOL They seem to have everything you need. I hate wearing skirts and dresses, though. Am sitting here in my workout clothes after sweating my arse off (actually, that would have been nice) at a kickboxing class this evening, much more comfy in that kind of thing, so I know how you feel!
