I need a dress for a wedding. I love this dress, but it's sold out in my size. http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shopsale-dresses2/4130241187947.jsp#/ The main thing I love about the dress is the silhouette (not the price!). Anyone see a dress with a similar silhouette anywhere else? Also, please give me suggestions of where to look for dresses online. I've tried the following:

Anthropologie
Ann Taylor
Banana Republic
Boden (have a dress from here that might work)
Lands End
LLB Signature
Nordstrom

Try Modcloth. They have a million cute dresses. Rent the Runway or Blue Fly are worth a look too.

I have rented from Rent the Runway a few times and love it. I am no help w/size small dresses, but if you need a L then these are some suggestions:
I have always wanted to try this dress but it is always sold out for the dates I need it:

I rented the longer version of a dress similar to this one and really liked it as well:

I rented this dress as well and I really liked it:

What kind of wedding is it? Location? Time of day? How dressy? I love Anthro, Saks, Neiman and Nordies so I would start there.

This has a similar silhouette and would be great for a daytime wedding:

The dress below from Loft is similar but a camisole style so more casual. I think it would be more for a daytime wedding. Not sure if it would be dressy enough for an evening event especially if it's formal. It's also much cheaper and is 40% off. Not sure when the sale ends.

I just happened to see this on a blog and thought of your post - a little shorter though.

Have you checked out Rent the Runway? I just went to a wedding and rehearsal dinner over the weekend and rented both of my dresses from there and got tons of compliments on both. I've rented 10 dresses from them so far, and sometimes jewelry and bags too.
