    Default Help! Trying to find a purple/lavender dress for elementary graduation...

    Can I get the help of the almighty BBB'ers in finding DD2 a graduation dress? She says she wants a purple/lilac/lavender colored dress. I have been searching far and wide for a simple dress that isn't loud, frilly, or ornate. Looking for clean and simple in style. No big bows or embellishments. Will need to order size 8 and 10 (possibly 12, if the size runs super small) to be safe. Budget is "preferably" under $50, but willing to pay up to $75.

    We already tried this one from Land's End, but the fit was off: http://www.landsend.com/products/gir...03?sku_0=::S5I

    Here are a few examples of dresses I like, in terms of style/look:

    Maybe too frilly? Dillards usually has a nice dress selection too. The Gap dress you linked would be very easy to sew if you know anyone who sews.

    I can't find a picture online, but our Costco still had Easter dresses last time we were there. DD found this one that she loved. I think we paid $16? The picture looks more pink but I swear it's lavendar. These run wide on DD, so we went with a 10 even though most of her clothes are 10-12.

    Does it need to be solid purple? I saw a cute shift dress on the peek website, but it's a print with purple flowers http://peekkids.com/allston-dress

    It doesn't need to be solid purple. Mainly purple or with a design is fine too. Thanks!
