Looking for a white dress...

With Hannah's 8th birthday approaching, I have decided that we need to find her a baptism dress. And I'm wondering if any of you have any advice for me. I have found a few websites that sell white "first communion" dresses but most of those are a little too frilly for me. I don't even want to show them to Hannah because I think she'll want one but I think they're kind of hideous. I've found a few things that I like but they're not cheap. Someone told me that Marshall's and T.J.Maxx occasionally have first communion dresses but I haven't seen any at our local stores. What do you think of the following dresses? And where have you seen cute baptism dresses for sale?

I like the third one best, but I also like the 3rd one. I bought a bunch of white dresses for my wedding at Jolene's here in UT, i'm not sure if they have other location. They usually have a few choices in white dresses, and they are usually reasonably priced and machine washable. I can keep an eye out for you.

okay, third comment. I would totally be willing to shop for you at Jolene's if there is something you like. I love that store. :) These are my two favorites so far.

Okay, two more. The first one is the one I had in my wedding for my youngest nieces. Love it. The second one is very simple if that's what you are looking for.

I like them all. My solution of course is to make one, it is usually cheaper and you can get what you want easier.
Good luck trying to find something!

I think all three of those dresses are a cute balance of classy white and dressy, but not over the top fancy - I'm also not a fan of over the top lacy frilly dresses - just not practical or comfortable.
