Where to get XL/Plus Size Nice Maternity Dresses?

Hi, I'm nearly 28 weeks with twins and wear size XL-1X.  Our shower is coming up in a couple weeks along with maternity photos and I'm looking for a couple nice dresses that fit and are affordable (no more than around the $100 mark).  Up to now, I've been shopping the clearance racks at Target and Motherhood (with a little Ross thrown in) for work and casual but would really like something flattering and nice for the upcoming occasions. Any suggestions?  Appreciate any feedback.

 

Thanks.

    Plus Size clothes are actually fairly stretchy. I am a 2x, 3x and I still am in non maternity...
    Torrid, Lane Bryant, and onestopplus.
    Maxi dresses with Empire waist lines are EXCELLENT cheap maternity wear
    Here's some of the things I have gotten that are non-maternity. all these pictures are me after 30 weeks, so I am pretty big. Really... take the chance and go to a normal old store and get stretchy clothes!

    i never found a maternity dress i liked. i wish i knew about the above posters suggestions instead :)

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

    kgs0505, I hear you, I've been looking at a number of websites and visiting a few stores and just can't seem to find 'the one'.  I appreciate katiebenes' suggestions and will definitely check them out.  Thanks!

    no problem. the first time I visited my maternity store I cried because I didn't want to be forced in to a moomoo... and that's the style of all of the dresses I saw

    I spent 90% of my pregnancy in old navy maternity dresses and had a couple nicer ones from motherhood. Loved them.

    Yes, definitely no moomoos please!  I checked out the websites and found some dresses I liked.  Hopefully, they'll fit nicely.  Thanks again all!
