Help me pick out a dress - PIP
So I need something to wear for my confirmation later this month. I would prefer to stay under $50. It needs to be relatively conservative, so not too short, low cut, or halter. I've been looking at a few dresses on Dress Barn. What do you think?
I like this shape, but I think the lace may look cheap.
This is nice, but I can't tell if it's too dark for spring, and if it's too skimpy for church. If I got this, I would probably wear a small cardi with it.
I think this dress is adorable, but is it too loud for a relatively solemn event? If it matters, there will be a large party thrown afterwards, and since it's a Catholic church there will be an open bar. 
Or should I go super conservative church girl with something like this?
Halp! If you have any other suggestions, please send them my way.
Re: Help me pick out a dress - PIP
I love the last one!
If you're looking for a white dress, I came across 9zillion of them last week at TJMaxx on 41/Cumberland. I was looking for a R.D. dress so anything NOT white and I found plenty of them!
I ended up with a white/blue/turquoise pattened dress and mrBAMF actually said to me on the way to dinner "you should wear stuff like that more often".

what about something like this dress ($18 at target)
with this cardigan? (also $18 at target).

the target dress also comes in black, which would look amazing with this cardigan.

Thanks Hales, but that is shorter than what I am comfortable with. I wouldn't want it to be any shorter than the top of my knee.
Thank you though!
See, I'm leaning towards the floral printed dress cuz it's so pretty and feminine. I just don't want to look like a doofus if everyone else is wearing something more toned down.

this dress is BEAUTIFUL in person, if you could find a cardigan to over it...and don't mind strapless.

Thanks Hales, but I'm not really comfortable with strapless. Even with a cardi, it's obvious when you're wearing a strapless dress. Sorry, I don't mean to discount all your advice!
Lauren, I think you're probably right. Le sigh.
Oh, and for the amusement factor, my Mom thought I should wear something like this.
lol, whatever...i'll break up with you too
i was just at target yesterday and wanted every dress they had!

Pssssht. We can't break up. You don't know how to quit me!
I like that dress, where is it from?
chadwicks of all places...i got a few dresses from them a few years ago and they've held up really well...it's $60, but google for coupon codes, i never paid full price for things from them.
it also comes in yellow.

I guess I need to hit up the stores this weekend!
I need a dress as well, if you want to make a trek to the Saks and Neimans outlets, let me know.
(Grew up Catholic) This looks like what I wore for first communion in the first grade. I think for confirmation in the 8th grade, we wore a "nice Sunday dress."
