Raleigh area Ladies - Dresses
Hey ladies!
Sooo DH just told me to go find a dress. .. nothing fancy, but not like your typical warm sun dress, but nothing over the top either. Just a nice dress to wear out to dinner for our anniversary (I have no idea where we're going to eat, but he's wearing his suit). It'd also be cool if I could wear it to church two (two birds, one stone)
So my question is. . do you ladies have any recommendations for dress shops that aren't too pricey (would loveee to stay around $50, but If I really like it, I can go for more) Im also 'bigger' 16-18 range depending on the cut.
I know about the general stores, like mall shops, but was curious to see if there were any local shops that you would recommend?
TIA!! 
I get to go shopping on Friday! Woo!

Ditto the Belk suggestion and the Nordstrom/Nordstrom online suggestion. If there's a Dillards, it might be worth it to check their sales racks as well. I've gotten almost all my fancy dresses from Nordstrom online, and they have bigger sizes too.
Good luck! Sounds like your DH is very sweet and romantic!!
Thanks ladies! We're def going to either cary towne center or crabtree, so we'll check out those stores
I've seen the sales online and so wish I had time to order online, but we're going out this Saturday. .little pushed for time LOL.
Again ,thanks!
What's the name of the store?!
Just wanted to say thank you for all of the suggestions!
I actually ended up finding the dress I wore at Ross. I randomly popped in there and found a really cute one for a great price (30).
Anyways, Thank you
Sorry I haven't been on to reply - Songbirds, its on Lawndale across from the Target in a little shopping plaza just past the bank (if your headed away from UNCG area). Her name is Katy, she's almost always there somewhere. All the dresses are in the back of the store! All the women who work there are really nice and will help you out tremendously!
