looking for bridesmaid dress for cruise

[Fire14]

I'm looking to buy myself a nice bridesmaid/formal dress for our cruise in early oct. I am hoping you girls could maybe give me some ideas.

I have to have sleeves, am around a size 18-20 and would like to keep my costs around 100.00.
I live Near Columbus so should have access to most chain stores.

If you're just looking for something off the rack, I recommend Dillard's. I have had th emost luck there in the past few years. For my wedding in 2005, my mom and both grandmothers found their dresses for my wedding there. My mom also found a bunch of new clothes there (her size had changed) that were dressy for church. I would have worn several of the things, so it stretched across age-limits. Recently, I found 2 beautiful dresses to wear to weddings this month there and mom found one to wear to another wedding. Just go and explore their women's section-they have so much good stuff!

I searched everywhere before our last cruise, we were on the 10 night southern DCL, so we had 2 formal nights. I was using Davids bridal as my last resort, knowing I could find something there...but probably more $$. Well, I lucked out. I found 2 dresses that I loved both on the clearance rack $29.99 each!!!

I thought about trying Davids Bridal but figured they wouldn't have much in bigger sizes.

I believe the ones I got were 18 or 20. and they had plenty!! I had to find a lines, as I was 4 months preg at the time...and I am top heavy as well I normally wear a 14 or 16 (well hopefully not too much longer) on the bottom and have to get 18 for my tops...so the 18 dresses worked out perfect with my starting baby belly.
