black dress ?
My lil bro is getting married end of April and I am a bridesmaid. We are wearing black, knee-length dresses and can pick basically whatever we want (just no extra color, full sequins, or casual). There are hardly any black dresses out right now. Any ideas? I've looked online at Davids Bridal, J Crew, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, & Nordstrom. I don't want to spend a ton of money and there isn't much time to order something. I haven't procrastinated since they have been engaged less than 3 weeks and just asked me a few days ago! And no, no real reason to rush it, just scheduling conflicts this summer and they are super excited to get married 
So basically, just wondered if any of you have stumbled across anything or anyplace that might help. Finding a black dress seems like it'll be harder than it sounds!

Re: black dress ?
Have you looked at JCP (suprisingly, they have some cute dresses for cheap!), Ann Taylor Loft or White House Black Market (although expensive).
I do have two black dresses you are welcome to borrow. You are alot smaller than I am, but they are both pretty basic. One's black, sleeveless-the straps are thick tho, knee length with sequins covering the shoulder straps (it's actually cute). I wear it with a black belt or a black sash. I also have another black one with more embellishments. It's kind of short so I wear it with black tights. LMK if you'd like to borrow one, I can post pics.
I just hate buying dresses I'll never wear again, so I thought I'd offer :-)
Dillards is my go-to place for dresses. They even have a "Little Black Dress" section on their website http://www.dillards.com/shop/Women-Dresses-Special-Occasion-Little-Black-Dresses/_/N-ydns/Rpp-3?catalogId=301&langId=-1&splashlink=dd_w_tc1_dressesspecialoccasion_060111&storeId=301
Try checking out Target's online website under Womens--Dresses---Party dresses.
Last year I picked one of them to be the LBD my bridesmaids wore to my wedding and they all loved it. They are pretty reasonably priced!
