They aren't really "cheap" at around $60-80 each, but I think they are a decent value. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87512 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:45:49 +0000 artsy1 87512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>try TJ Maxx, it's hit or miss but a wide variety. I found two dresses there recently that fit your guidelines. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87503 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:46:19 +0000 Taffy 87503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How tall are you? Could you get away with buying a "tall" dress, even though you aren't? THat might give you the extra length. If you are very tall (I'm 6') Boden seems to have the longest talls that I've seen online, often 2-3 inches longer than the tall dresses posted by Gap and Banana (my other go to stores for tall clothing).<br /> Hope that helps... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87460 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:22:30 +0000 Sarah 87460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what's "cheap" but I'll take a stab at under $100. Also, keep in mind that unless you are 6 feet tall like the models, the dresses listed will fit you longer. Just measure what length you need and check for those measurements online. You can also get a cami bra or a cami if the top is too low cut.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3022525/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=2" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....4&#038;P=2</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3023872/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=5" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....4&#038;P=5</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3064287/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=5" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....4&#038;P=5</a><br /> (this would be lovely for evening)<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2981477/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=6" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....4&#038;P=6</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3038232/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=7" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....4&#038;P=7</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2963992/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=11" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....&#038;P=11</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3029690/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=13" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=13</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3019927/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=14" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=14</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3017449/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=15" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=15</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3013659/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=15" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=15</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3032994/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=16" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=16</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3060279/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=20" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=20</a><br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3056308/0~2376788~6002242~6007533~6007554?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6007554&#038;P=20" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....&#038;P=20</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87459 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:57:49 +0000 Melody 87459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, my brain is working now ... here's some sites to check out.

At the Christian college I attended, we couldn't wear strappy dresses, but skirts/dresses were allowed to be one hand width above the knee when standing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87457 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:40:40 +0000 Komandr 87457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Strappy dresses are allowed - the only problem that I have is the length! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87455 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:37:10 +0000 merry77 87455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the cheaper dresses you've found - are you referring to strappy dresses? If the length is okay, strappy dresses can be layered in all sorts of ways: with cardigans or shrugs over, tees underneath, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87454 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:36:34 +0000 Komandr 87454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I live in West Virginia - which is why I do most of my shopping online. </p> <p>I double checked the handbook, and the knee doesn't have to be completely covered, so they can be to the top of the knee when sitting. Most of the 'knee length' dresses I've found aren't really knee length!</p> <p>Also - I have skirts, which is what I wear to class most of the time, but I need some simple dresses for slightly more formal occasions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87452 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:29:16 +0000 merry77 87452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Having to have the knee covered while sitting definitely makes it more of a challenge.</p> <p>If you wear leggings underneath, can you wear a little shorter dresses? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87450 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:26:34 +0000 Melody 87450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is difficult. I have problems finding knee-length dresses appropriate for work and I'm willing to pay whatever is necessary, but there is just not alot out there. I click on "Work Dresses" links on the internet and a majority of the dresses show too much thigh. Skirts may be an easier to find option. I would recommend Sears, JCPenney, Macy's ... department stores will have a better selection &#38; prices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/modest-low-priced-day-dresses#post-87449 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:20:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 87449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where are you located?

Day dresses, casual dresses - whatever you want to call them! The only cheap dresses I can find look like they belong on a stripper, and the only modest dresses I can find cost about as much as a car!</p> <p>The reason I need modest dresses is because I don't relish looking like I belong in the red light district, and besides that, I'm going to a Christian college where modesty is a must. The dress code states that all dresses/skirts must cover the knee when sitting, and no slits can go above the knee. </p> <p>Help! D: </p>
