Shower Dress Help - longer dresses?

I don't like my legs & don't want them showing at the shower (especially for pictures when sitting down, opening gifts etc)..

Anyone find a dress that is long & suitable for a shower? I'd prefer to keep it under $100.

I keep finding maxi dresses that seem too casual or really fancy dresses meant for weddings.. If it makes a difference, if it's sleeveless I will be wearing a little black or a tan shrug over it to cover my arm fat.

I have the same issue you do, I didn't want my swollen feet, ankles, calves to be shown. I stumbled across mine in Target...$27.99 Chat Icon It's a light and airy material.

I found a maxi dress for my shower at NY and CO. Originally $50 on sale for half off. It comes in dark gray and pink.

I had bought another dress from Destination Maternity and DH said it was too plain. I am still undecided. I got this dress in the dark gray, what do you think?

I should try a different Target, I never seem to find anything at mine & everyone else seems to get cute stuff there!
