I know this is supposed to be a thread about white dresses, but would you ladies mind giving me your opinion on a dress? My daughter got this for a high school formal and I was hoping we could get another wearing out of it. Is it too much for pref night? It's a Big 12 school if that matters any. Thanks!

I didn't go to a big 12 school, but my opinion would be that it would need a little sweater (like a black bolero sweater or shrug maybe?) and only if it's a little bit longer on her. It should hit somewhere around the knee or lower. It's a very cute dress.

Go to women's dresses, and narrow search by color (and price, size, etc) with menus at top of results:

Also, you can check ebay for dresses -- easiest if you have a specific dress or brand in mind -- but check the return policy of the seller if you are unsure of fit. Here is a link to Lilly Pulitzer dresses in the white/ivory category currently listed, for instance:

I am an avid online shopper, thanks for the links! We got her original white dress through a Zappos link that I followed from here.

I was at Ross Dress for Less over the weekend and saw a Mom and teenage daughter heading toward checkout. I first noticed the shoes and I wondered, then saw the white dress. Then I noticed the daughter was wearing an AOII t-shirt and kind of chuckled to myself. So I guess you can buy white dresses right now at Ross.

I found a great short sleeved white pique shift at SteinMart last summer for Convention and paid around $50. Best part is that it's a dress I would wear in public. Only $50.

Hey y'all! So I found this dress and I adore it, but it would be for initiation and I was wondering if this counts as having your shoulders covered? Technically they're covered, but it's lace so I wasn't sure. Any input would be much appreciated!

That would be fine for AGD. I think that's a lovely dress for Initiation.

Any suggestions for plus size white dresses? I struck out at Old Navy, Avenue, Lane Bryant and Sears.

I got lucky a few years back with a white polo dress from Lands End. Not sure if they are carrying those this year though.
