dresses near 19th and L NW
I want to shop for a dress for a wedding I'm attending in Dallas this weekend, and I have about an hour each day during lunch to look. Anyone recommend a place near 19th and L that would have cute dresses? I'm a size 12, so places like Ann Taylor might not have my size 
I think Filene's is there... but any place else I can check out? I'm not looking for super formal, but DH is a groomsman wearing an all black tux... so I'm thinking a black dress might not be the best? The reception is at the Hilton ballroom, and the ceremony is at a church, if that makes a difference

Re: dresses near 19th and L NW
Ann Taylor, depending on the store, definitely carries up to a 16 and sometimes up to a 20.
Also, if you can find a dress online, you can check its availability in store on the website and call and ask them to pull for you. (this is my secret I have 5 minutes shopping trip trick)
Stand up for something you believe in.
I think there's a Talbots near that Ann Taylor. Also, I have never been to this store, but near the Potbelly on L St, there used to be (and probably still is) this store (not a brand name store) that always has lots of dresses in the window. It's on L Street someplace bewteen Wachovia and Potbelly. I have no idea what sizes, brands, or price points they carry.
You could also check that wedding dress store on the corner of Connecticut and L St. to see if they have anything on sale. I think they have regular formal-y dresses too. It's on the second floor. I can't remember the name.
i would definitely check out filene's basement, they actually have a lot of dresses downstairs.
macy's is a little bit of a trek but they do have nice dresses. and don't rule out ann taylor most stores carry dresses upto a size 16.
HTH
i actually have been suprised with dress barn lately. One opened around 14th and G (or?) recently and i actually got some cute things there.
i would hit AT on Conn Ave and Filene's basement!

So I tried Filene's first, on the off chance that they had something and it would be cheap... and scored a dress normally $100, on sale for $39.99.
SCORE!
So I got new shoes, too
Man that store is dangerous!
