I had to find a dress for mine and my husband's Christmas party. Since this is my last pregnancy, I REALLY didn't want to buy a maternity cocktail dress, they are so expensive! So I went to minefornine.com and rented one for $30. Yeah, it's kind of throwing away money because you're renting a dress, but if you can't wear it again anyways I figure it's all the same! It's worth looking into
Now I am jealous that I didn't know about this website before I had a Gala to attend last month! I ended up wearing a hand-me-down dress from Destination Maternity but I really wanted a long dress. There are some really cute dresses on here!

I bought two at Target that aren't super fancy, but definitely dressy (I'm wearing them for holiday parties). One has the empire waist with knee length black skirt/bottom and fitted contrasting color top (I think it's silky--can't really remember), and the other is a sleeveless gray dress with a black ribbon belt with beading on it. Very, very cheap.

It fits really well and is comfortable.

I like these two!
I have this one, and have been getting a LOT of compliments on it for evening events: https://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=903140022&MasterCategory_Id=MC3
Saw this one and thought it was cute, but I think its one you'd want to try on first before purchasing: https://www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=904680023&MasterCategory_Id=MC3

I bought this one to wear to my sister's wedding in January.

Update:
I've ordered this one in teal, so I'm hoping it looks better than on the model.

If not, I'll look again. Target had a couple I liked, but the others weren't dressy enough for this particular party.
Thanks for all the suggestions!!!
