Has anyone seen a dress similar to this?

I really love the slightly vintage yet classic look of this dress (sleeves could be a little less pouffy IMO). I'm already on the lookout for the dress to wear for graduation. Yes, its not until April!

Has anyone come across anything similar?

OMG! I am so excited for you, Nikole!!!!

How about something like this?

I love Maggie London dresses!! They look great on anyone and the prices aren't too bad...especially when they're on sale!!

Nicole's dresses are right on.....I like the first one the best

First -- many congratulations, Nikole!

Next -- I love the dress suggestions here (including your "inspiration dress," Nikole).

Finally -- might any of these help w/the decision-making?

All that said, I think Pam's and Nicole's ideas are right on! (And I also find Maggie London dresses to be consistently flattering -- and frequently on sale

.)

I knew you guys would be able to help, I love all of those dresses and most are very reasonable! I can't believe that black lace dress from Mod Cloth is only $49.99!

I love all the dresses, but I think this one is my favourite:
