Anyone know where I can find a good deal on a formal dress. My husbands company holiday party is on the 14th and he told me that it is formal. (not poufy gowns- but like a New Years Eve attire)
Problem is I'm a size16w-18w or a 20 misses.

I dont want to spend a lot- hopefully less than $50- heck less than $30 would be nice, but I might be dreaming.

I'm not sure how much of the frou frou stuff you like, but here's a link to a couple that are cute

Gold Dress $35.99/ Roaman's (http://www.roamans.com/roamans/product/product.asp?pf_id=71221&dept_id=3479&parent_id=&)

Pink or Blue Dress $23.99 (http://www.roamans.com/roamans/product/product.asp?pf_id=68598&dept_id=3479&parent_id=&) I'm not overly fond of this one because the colors just aren't me, but you might like them

White Beaded Dress $43.99 (http://www.roamans.com/roamans/product/product.asp?pf_id=55336&dept_id=3479&parent_id=&)

These are all from Roaman's Clearance section. There are ALWAYS Roaman's coupons out there for usually 20-30% off to help a bit.

This coupon code #0751-00144-368 is for 40% off your highest priced item from Roamans.com but it expires on 1/2/06

i would look at fashion bug, lane bryant, avenue, deb shops(some have a plus section). i also did a search on ebay for you since i was curious also as to what is out there for a plus size. i came up with these 2 :

I LOVE THAT RASPBERRY ONE!!! I'm bidding right now!

I would also suggesst a thrift store. I get all my "nice" dresses there. I am a size 14, and I always have good luck!

I agree. The raspberry one is awesome.
