Wanna help me shop?

I've been looking for a casual summer dress.  Something to go to church and festivals, or dinner.  SIL's wedding reception has a request to dress "island."  I'd love to find something that might fit that too. 

Specs:  I need to wear a bra with straps.  I prefer long just because I don't have to worry so much about chasing a kid, but can make knee length work.  Under $50 please.

ETA: on-line also

I need coffee before online shopping.  DH needs to wake up and make me some.

Dh is the coffee maker here too.  I was all confused yesterday when coffee came out, but it didn't smell and it wasn't hot.  It was Monday's.  DH had labwork and had to fast.  I still say he should have made coffee.

mrsconn23

Yeah...I have no idea how to work DH's coffee maker.  And he has a 'special' way of making his coffee.   All I know is I need some.  So.tired.

i think "island" could be in the successories.

I really like that LE henly, but I worry I'll just look like a sack in it.  It could be worth a $30 try.  IS fuschia too bold?

I don't think fuschia is too bold for a summer island-themed wedding. 

hmonkey

you can dress it down with neutral successories.

Is this ugly?  I know it's not islandy, but at that price it could work for other things and if I'm going to try they fuschia why not ship 2 things?

I think the navy dress is adorable.

I own a dress very similar to the navy dress and love love love it.  I've dressed it up and down and it just works so well.

the navy dress is pretty - i have some cut similarly just not in solid colors.

Darn the blue isn't available.  $9 for s&h?  I need to think about this.

I'm going to point you towards Sears and JCPenney.  I was in store last week and they had long summer dresses that you could wear a bra with.  I actually thought of you when I saw them, and then forgot to mention it to you.

You told me about them, but zville Sears had bupkis.  I may just wear something I have and call it a day.
