Okay, Bitches, I need some dress~ma. I am going to an awards dinner requiring "festive cocktail attire" at the end of the month. The thing is that I have no cocktail attire, festive or otherwise. I need something for a size 14/16 WITH SLEEVES (not cap sleeves because hideous) and under/around $100. Any good sites I should look at?
Gunn: You ready? Fred: Is no an acceptable answer?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

They've got a lot of cute options, a good size range, and everything I've ordered from them arrives in a week.

Scrappy, I'd try Lane Bryant or Macy's. Barring that, I'd say a simple black dress with fabulous shoes and/or jewelry.

Vortex is right. Also, Lord & Taylor has some good stuff for those sizes.

Also, I like Payless for fancy shoes. They're inexpensive, and if I only wear them once or twice (or they fall apart), I've gotten my money's worth.

I like this for Scrappy. Very Joan Holloway. (Wear your hair up.)

I've purchased three jackets (well, two jackets and one long skirted waistcoat) from Chicstar, and I am in love with all of them. They're my new favorite fashion place!

The jackets are even cuter! Oh dear, this could get bad.
