What Not To Wear...

I've been looking for a dress for a fun social occasion coming up in September and am having a hard time. Most stores I have perused seem to have one of three choices:

Teeny-Bopper Homecoming Dress

Hoochie-Mama Dress

Mother of the Bride Dress



I did find a few online that I like on the twig mannequins they're showcased on, but the biggest size they came in was an 11 (except the last, black lace one). It will be interesting to see what I end up with.

I'm looking for 33-year-old sophisticated fun with knee length minimum and chest support (no strapless).




Wish me luck!
