a dress or wear to buy a dress? I am looking for something that I can wear to the Dreamgirls musical. Not to dressy, but not so low cut I can't wear it to school (where I work) or to church. I have found several that I like but I don't have a ton of money!
 
I Love the Dressbarn. They have cute stuff both dressy and casual dressy. And their prices are not bad either.
 
I agree. They have a decent plus-size collection, too, if that's what you need. (I know that's where I have to shop ;))

I always forget about the dressbarn! I do love that place. That is where I got my dressy dress for Chicago musical last year.
 
Dressbarn, Kohl's. Mervyns (if you are lucky enough to still have one), and Penneys are my favorites for casual clothes.
Our TJMAXX, Marshalls or Ross also has great deals on nicer things. I bought 2 Jones New York dresses hang taags were over $150 (I had tried 1 of them on at the mall) TJMaxx price $50 LOVE A BARGAIN!!
