Cute Maternity Dress for the Holidays??

Has anyone seen any cute maternity dresses for the holidays? I am frantically looking online because we have a few parties and events that we are going to but I cant find anything that is even remotely appealing!! I would like something with short sleeves or three quarter inch sleeves because it is cold out and I really dont want to have to wear a sweater over my dress and look granny. So strapless/halter top/spagetti strap is out of the question. Any ideas? I'm going to try and make it to the mall this weekend to look around but if anyone find something online or in a store can you give me a heads up? Thanks a bunch!! Oh and I dont want to spend more than $50 /per dress. I'll only be wearing it a few times!!

Just got the email for the holiday work party...this year at the bosses big house on the ranch.  Last year there was about 100-150 people but it was held in the bar/restaurant area.  Last year I was still losing my baby weight from my son but could at least fit into my dressy cowboy boots.  I have no idea what to do this year!  On a ranch in Montana....but a five star resort.  I am NOT wearing heels! lol!

Haha I know, I'm surprised that I haven't locked myself away at home yet either. But surprisingly I am excited to get out and go to the parties. I may say that now and change my mind when the time comes but I figure that these are the things that we wont get to do once the little ones are here. We have no family around and will have to resort to a babysitter which I dont see happening. So we figure we midas well get out and socialize while we can because the only socializing i'll be doing in a few months is baby talk with the twins :)

Thanks for the suggestions ladies!! Luckily I was able to find something cute at JCpenny while out shopping on Black Friday. Got the dress half off for $40!!

I'm just impressed you WANT to get dressed up and go out. I am perfectly happy these days staying in since I'm usually ready for bed by 7. HA!  Hope you find/found an awesome dress.

Good luck!  I tried to find a cocktail dress for a fundraising gala I went to last weekend and couldn't find anything I liked.  I bought FIVE dresses online, and had to settle for one of them because I ran out of time...it was not remotely like anything I normally wear to that event or others like it.  I LOVE getting all dressed up so having to wear a pretty plain looking dress totally bummed me out.  Here's the link to the BORING dress I ended up wearing...http://www.apeainthepod.com/Product.asp?product_Id=15772Z10023&MasterCategory_Id=MC3

I got a black 3/4 sleeve dress from Target in cotton material and I got a knit material one from macy's.  I'm going to get thigh high stockings and a cute necklace to go with and I should be good to go.

babiesnbellies.com has some cute dresses for the holidays, not bad pricing...around $35 and up (if its on sale, otherwise it can be pricey..sale/clearencei s the way to go anyway lol). I went to dresses and clicked on "casual & semi-formal dresses".I especially like the red/short "cowel neck dress/tunic" for christmas! and the "suzy kimono" black/short.

motherhood.com has some cute, more basic dresses for like $25 in the "sale/clearence/discount" section.

http://www.destinationmaternity.com/maternity/dresses-skirts-sets.asp the red dress on this page is super cute too. :)

JC Penney has basic cute dresses too from $25-$35.
