When I first started wedding planning, I dreamed of a beautiful off-the-shoulder wedding dress. Unfortunately, church rules and bridal salons conspired against me, and it was not meant to be (although I do love the wedding dress I ended up with). So I thought instead, I could find a fabulous off-the-shoulder dress to wear for the rehearsal dinner--except I can't find many! So I need your help.
I am looking for a dressy but not formal off-the-shoulder dress with 3/4 or short sleeves, below the knee or full length, $150 or less, in a solid color (blue would be my first choice but I am open to others). I am a curvy size 10, so it needs to have some shape to it--I can't pull off those beautiful but boxy styles popular these days.
These are two I love (but which are out of my price range), to give you an idea of the style I am looking for:
