Rockville rec for maxi dress

AARRGGHH!!! I did NOT think it would be this hard to find a maxi dress I like.

Tomorrow I'm headed to Rockville and am on the prowl for a maxi dress. I plan to hit Montgomery and White Flint Malls and then work my way up the usual suspects (Last Call, Ross, TJ Maxx, etc.). Anyone loving they're recently-purchased-so-BCP-can-still-find-it maxi dress.

Looking for:

  1. Halter or straps - tube tops and strapless give me weird 4 boob or aren't tight enough.
  2. prefer jersey or some other stretch fabric but open to anything EXCEPT the shiny, spandex feeling stuff.
  3. prefer empire waist
  4. MUST be full skirted (or at least not fitted through my 'ample' butt/thighs)
  5. Open to patterns but tend to lean toward solids
  6. "secure feeling" top. I'm a strong B cup so a bra isn't always necessary unless my "nipple poke" would be obvious. But don't like tops that gape or I'm always worried about slippage.

Prefer to stay in the $25-$50 range but will go for a $100 max if it's one I love.

  • I would look in lord and taylor first-they have a great dress selection.  i think nordstrom will be more expensive than you want and I personally HATE macy's so never shop there.

    I don't know if there's one near where you are shopping, but I just saw a few at the Banana Repubic Outlet that I think would meet your requirements. I have an older one from there that I love.
  • Forever 21 should have some - also try Arden B.
