Too good to be true? Well it kind of is. These are all pretty pricy. They do have sales though—I'm tempted by this one:

REISS
So I'm on a continual mission to find dresses that don't need two things under and two things over to wear in public—some of you might have picked up on this by now! I just love the idea of throwing on a gorgeous dress and not having to mess up the design of it with one of those modesty tanktops. As much as they are a great invention I feel like in this day and age I should be able to find what I want! Well folks I have to say I'm getting pretty close with this latest store. I don't know if this is just a seasonal thing but REISS is rocking the sleeved-knee-length-awesome look. You didn't even know that was a look did you? NEITHER DID I...until now. Apparently Kate Middleton does a lot of shopping here and while I find her a little white bread, you've got to give the girl some props for playing the modesty card as a personal style. Check out these dresses from their website!
Which is almost in the affordable range. Especially now that I waited too long and the modcloth dress is sold out. *sigh* There is something comforting in knowing they exist though isn't there?

Hi Jessi! I know it's been forever but I just saw the link to your blog on facebook and had to check it out. Nice work! I really love all the dresses from REISS so thanks for sharing. It seems like it's been so long since I wore a cute dress like that. I usually just resort to skirts and tops, but there is just something flattering about a dress... Hope everything is going well for you & Trent!

You have great taste! Have you heard of Shabby Apple?

Their mission statement sounds very similar to what you wrote about not wanting to wear a dress with multiple layers above and below it. I bought a dress from Shabby Apple for my brother's wedding and I love it! They are a little more pricey than other modest options...but then again I'm a college student so my opinions of what things are "pricey" could be a bit skewed :P
The Reiss dress that Kate Middleton wore to meet the Obamas was knocked off immediately by a Chinese company. The knockoff is available on eBay. I'll admit, I was tempted...
LOVE the 1st one!
oooo. i love the blue one!!
