I need help finding a casual dress

I want something that I can wear to just go about my daily business in - comfortable and attractive, but not too dressy. I want to be able to wear it with flip-flops as opposed to dressy shoes, for instance. And I don't want to look like I'm headed to a party.

I've tried on some of the new babydoll dresses from Old Navy (I love this one!)

but I think you have to be really skinny to pull off that look. Or at least less busty than me.

I like the look of a sheath dress, but they seem a bit dressy to me.

Anybody have any ideas? Or (even better) links to share?

Thanks!
Lisa

As it turns out, I can wear one of the Old Navy babydolls if I wear a matching bra-top camisole underneath. Now, if only it would get above 45 degrees around here...

No particular reason, just haven't shopped for one in years. I do wear casual skirts w/ a tee shirt type top & flip flops, but I don't have a special place to buy them.

The Old Navy dress is too cute, have you worn it?

I bought the darn thing and then every time I've put it on I've felt like a beached whale in it. I really should know better than to buy things like that - clearly they are meant for people who are built like sticks

I'm with you on the t-shit-skirt-flip-flop ensemble. That's what I always go back to.
