Or LucyKKG as she's a Northern California girl, if the OP wants perspective from different parts of the state.

THIS.  Paging ellebud!
(Not to diminish the pretty dresses already linked, of course. But when I read the OP, I immediately thought of ellebud.)

Oh my, I want this dress, even though it isn't green and gold sequins. http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/aidan-ma...esultback=3192
Well hello, this dress solves my torso/waist drama and fulfills my sequin needs without taking it too far http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/calvin-k...esultback=5006

Though I fully believe there are body image issues in the fashion industry, I don't think we should body shame women who may naturally have bodies that are very slim, and extending from that, some women may have health issues that prevent weight gain. As women, let alone sorority women, the prevalence and risk of eating disorders is one we're no stranger to, and body acceptance and health needs to cover the whole spectrum of women, and men.

I like dresses that allow me to add something with accessories if I want to, but also let me be savvy yet alluring.
