Ladies Plus Size Formals (not spam!)
Does anyone here know of a good source for plus size formals?
I am starting to look way ahead of time for a dress for a ball in February and I am already feeling frustrated. The plus size options seem to be really limited.

Not totally sure if this is what you're looking for, but Nordstrom and David's Bridal have pretty good selections.

Long, short? What size, price range, etc? I have been shopping for dresses for several upcoming weddings and could suggest more if you give more detail.

I love Eshakti.
Eshakti offers to make any of their designs custom measured based on what you tell them as well. I get almost all of my cocktail dresses and formal dresses from there.

fullbeauty.com has some also, depending on how formal you want it to be.

I want it to be long but no sleeveless or strapless styles. I would prefer under $200.
I can't believe I forgot David's Bridal!

When you visit your son at Nicholls, try the Bridal Corner downtown. The owner is a Phi Mu.

I ordered a dress for a military ball from David's Bridal and it was great! Not at all bridesmaid-y.
It was a size 16, I had it altered to a bit smaller though.

I'm teetering on that straight/plus borderline, and I've had surprisingly good luck at Group USA, which also sells online at www.camillelavie.com. Many of their dresses go to a 24. I also recently bought a dress I loved from www.asos.com, from a line called Chi Chi London. I just took a quick spin through the site and that brand seems to stop at a 20, but not sure whether that's all the time or whether they're just low on stock. The site has other plus options.
Nordstrom Rack is my go-to, though.

http://www.torrid.com is a plus-size store - not sure exactly what you are looking for but they may be worth checking out!
