Search for formal dress

I'm posting this because my cousin is looking for a dress for her 15th birthday party. She is looking for a formal white dress and we don't really know where to begin the search at...so any information and help would be greatly appreciated!!!  Thanks in advance!

what kind of price range? Anything she really loves/hates in a dress? There are zillions of dresses out there so some kind of narrowing down would be helpful :)

Around $500 or so.  The theme for the party is going to be Breakfast at Tiffany's...something like Audrey Hepburn style.  She is short waisted, small bust, 5'6 with long legs, and some junk in her trunk...lol.  To get a better idea.

Check out edressme.com. They have an ivory/white dress section.

I would check out prom dress stores/bridal stores because they should have some good options.

Since the theme is Breakfast at Tiffanys, I would try to find a dress like Audrey Hepburn wears in that movie- only in white. Basically, something simple, sleevless, slit in the leg, and pair it with white gloves. I'll see if I can find anything...


ETA- Some I found that were cool and appropriate for her age.

If she wanted to add some black to it I think this dress is amazing:

formal is a loose term these days -- does she want full length?

I found this dress that has an audrey vibe to it ($50):

is this for a debutante ball? if so, this probably wouldn't be appropriate.
