I have searched every site I can think of for cotton (or at least 90% cotton) dresses that are at least 42" long. We have two confirmations and two graduations to attend. I'm not looking for anything formal, but rather dresses that can be worn dressed up or down. I am also a plus size due to weight gain from prednisone. I appreciate any suggestions and I thank you for any suggestions.

I prefer to wear cotton and other natural fabrics rather than cheap polyester, but the price of cotton is at an all time high and isn't being used as much. There are some cotton rich dresses sold at Lands End in regular, tall, petite and plus sizes that are nice. They have matching cardigans to wear with the sleeveless styles too. Good luck in your search for 100% cotton and be prepared to be wowed by the price if you do find any.... So dissaponting.

Last summer, I bought a pretty blue cotton dress at Dress Barn. They have a web site; check them out. And at my local "Ross for Less" store I have bought several cotton dresses over the last few years.
