HELP! Need a Dress to wear to daughter's bridal showers

I have looked high and low to find a nice dress, not too dressy and not too casual to wear to my darling daughter's 2 bridal showers & bridesmaid luncheon. Just haven't found anything in the local stores in my size and price range.

I am guessing I would be a size XL or size 18 in most of the dress brands on the Q but I have not bought any dresses in a long time from the Q. I would prefer something with a short sleeve and just below the knee. I looked through some of the Liz Claiborne items but was not sure about sizing on them.

Her 1st shower is 8/9 and is a brunch/shower....any suggestions?

Thanks!

Do you need them to be from the Q?

What about the budget?

I think you need to state your price range and if the dress has to come from QVC before people can make suggestions.

You might also get more mileage if you plan on buying only one outfit by purchasing a basic skirt and pairing it with different tops and accessories.

The dress does not have to come from the Q but thought I may find one easier there. The Q seems to have a better selection of Plus Size dresses compared to my local stores.

I would like to stay in $50-60 range and hopefully something that will travel well since one of the showers is 5 hrs away.

Liking some of the suggestions so far...thanks ladies!!
