Well, my suggestion would be to comb the malls of North Carolina. Head to Crabtree Valley and hit up Lord and Taylor. Also go to Nordstrom at The Streets at Southpoint. I think you are going to be able to find a dress... you've just got to look at the right places. Sometimes Belk and Dillards are just not going to cut it!
My dress is from Ann Taylor but I got it at the outlets at Myrtle Beach... it's very lovely but I'm not altogether sure it's going to fit me by now

When are you moving in?
And it makes me laugh that your signature is just like PhiMuJulia's... it is nice, though
