I would suggest a boutique in your town over a major clothing chain. Look to J.Crew, Ann Taylor, and Lilly for inspiration for what might be appropriate, and pick something that doesn't run the risk of being worn by ookabillions of other PNMS.

Especially for what it is.

It's nice, cute stuff of good quality, and I'd say it's comparable to Banana Republic (although I don't like the dresses they've got right now) and Ann Taylor (many cute options), and yet in price things are likely to cost double what they "should" at J.Crew, using the Banana and AT as price points.

I think I have developed a slight twitch trying to find a cocktail type dress and an appropriate white dress.

No wonder why PNMs get so stressed out before/during rush... this whole shopping thing is a major bummer because I cannot find a darn thing I like! Well actually I am finding things I like but they are about $500+ and that is money I would rather save for my dues

Any other website suggestions?

Oh and if I buy anything in this small town, I can almost guarantee that someone else will be wearing it! Another bummer...

Try Chadwicks or Newport News for white dresses. I was having a lot of trouble finding a dress for initiation, and several people on GC recommended those stores to me.

in the past i have seen white dresses at reasonable prices, or even better than reasonable, at target, old navy and gap.

i have 2 friends who can shop at marshalls or tjmaxx and look absolutely stunning-as if they had just walked out of saks. i don't have the knack that they do, but if you are similarly gifted, give those stores a try.
