Please help me find a dress!

I am looking for a dress for an evening party at a work conference in Las Vegas.  The conference is in two weeks.  The dress code is "Resort casual" but I'd prefer to be on the dressier side than the casual side.  I found a really cute dress today but it is not available in my size:

http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=60&pageId=1&productId=570046196&viewAll=&prd=Black+Safari+Shirt+Dress&subCatId=&color=&fromSearch=&inSeam=&posId=1&catId=cat210002&cat=Dresses++Skirts&onSale=&colorFamily=&maxPg=4&size= 

Sorry if that is not clicky.  It is the safari shirt dress from White House Black Market.   I need a 4 but it is not available.  I've been to the mall twice, have looked all over Nordstrom's site and Zappos and can't find anything.  I also LOVE that new Halo color block dress from Nordstrom - but I can't spend $350.  Do you know of anything similar?  It can be any color - I love bright jewel tones (I have dark Italian coloring) but black is okay, as long as it doesn't look like I am going to a wedding.  The shape of the Safari dress is perfect for my body (I am 5'8"). I can't seem to find anything!  Thanks so much :)

  • If you really want that dress could you call their CS and see if they can locate it in a store for you?

  • It is completely not available.  The black was never available in stores, and the CS associate was not able to pull any up in her system, either.  :(

  • I just bought a dress at the BR factory store that would meet your general guidelines. It's a new item that just came in like last week so they should all have it. It's a poly jersey material with elbow length sleeves, boat neck, geometric colors on the front with black panels down the sides/neckline. I really like it and feel like I can dress it up and down a lot with accessories - like casual dinner to wedding.  And it's only $70. 

     

    Ha ha! Found a link with a picture! You can't see the black down the sides through (like the slimming effect it gives!).

  • Omg- I totally tried on that dress about 1 hour ago at my local WHBM!!! (San Antonio- La Cantera.) In a size 4.... wasn't good for me bc I'm short... but very cute. They need a petite version. Wish I would have known; I would have happily picked it up for you :)

    ETA.. no I didn't. I'm a total liar ;) I should have gone to your link before I posted... I tried on a diff. dress.  and thenest won't let me delete.
