I have to go to a business meeting on Friday where I will be meeting several important people for the first time. I don't feel great about my body right now, so I really want to wear a dress that gives me confidence. I'm envisioning something structured and flattering, in a bright color.
I went to Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor LOFT, & Banana Republic yesterday with zero success. They only have a few options and their sizes are very picked over. Any suggestions on stores to hit up today?

you could try H&M or even Old Navy... sometimes I get a gem there that looks more expensive than it really is.

I usually go old school for dresses and hit up a department store like Macy's or Dillard's. They always have the widest selection.

Oh, I second Mrs. Yoyo! I always have luck at Macy's or Lord and Taylor.

I second White House Black Market, The Limited, NY & Company: i usually have pretty good luck for work stuff at these places! (I'm required to wear skirts/dresses!) The Limited is my favorite to be honest, they seem to fit my body the best and really hold up well.
Edit: Target also has some nice work dresses right now! And the price is always cheap and the quality looks good!

J crew has conservative dresses that you can wear to work but are in fun patterns or bright colors. A little pricey but the quality is very good and it will last you several years.

Thank you everyone for your awesome suggestions! I knew you all would come through for me. 
@Jennimac: Your idea ended up being the winner - I got a dress from Kohl's! Here it is: http://www.kohls.com/upgrade/webstore/product_page.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524892913023&crosssell=true
