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.

So many sororities use them for one ritual or another; many schools require white dresses for Bid Day.

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 certainly be acceptable. Very cute!

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.

Are you still looking? Probably not now... Macy's usually has some and you can always find them on www.onestopplus.com.
