Where can I find a unique and flattering black floorlength bridesmaid dress?

Please help me find a unique black, floorlength dress for a bridesmaid dress! I don't want to look like I'm going to prom, and am having a hard time finding online stores that might carry something more unique or whimsical while still appropriate. I'd love something with a fun skirt that's organza, lace, or something similar. I've tried the usual suspect stores from Jcrew to Banana Republic to Saks and can't find much. What are some online stores that might have something unique and afforable (Under $300)? I've looked on Etsy but am having a very hard time narrowing down the results using search terms or their categories.
Answer:

ModCloth has a few http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Dresses/Tender+is+the+Night+Dress http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth%2FWomens%2FDresses/A+Grecian+Turn+Dress black dresses to choose from. And tons of other dresses in several other categories, as well. Hubba.

There are a few black, floor-length options on http://www.eshakti.com/clothsrpage.asp?catalog=Clothes&cate=maxi+dresses&pagecount=1&view=all. Bonus: you can get it custom made to fit you.

That tulle one is lovely! I wish it wasn't sold out!

Maybe this one from http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10847242 or this http://www.shopbop.com/drytown-lace-dress-leyendecker/vp/v=1/845524441885725.htm?folderID=2534374302063651&extid=affprg for a more relaxed feel? The http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?&productId=570007616&ci_src=14110925&ci_sku=570007616&cmp=AFC_linkshare&LkshrPID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ&LkshrCID=570007616&CMP=AFC-LS_Affiliates from White House Black Market looks good too, if you can get your hands on it.

You can find http://www.foreverbridals.com/collections_fy.html# at local locations depending on where you live. I can't link directly to the ones that seem interesting... but just click on bridesmaid dresses and have a look. Really interesting designs and some "normal" ones.

Where are you located? I just got an amazing dress for our very formal company holiday party at a shop in Oakland called "Dress" that, like sidhedevil's suggestion, rents couture dresses. The woman who runs it is super awesome. If you aren't near Oakland - I'm guessing she is connected enough that she could tell you if there was a shop like her's where you are. http://dress-sf.com/

BCBG is a good one too, they always have a ton of dress options.

MsMolly - I actually love that long tutu, but am not sure if it's too much as a bridesmaid. I am afraid to do anything with too much additional color too. I actually love the skirt on this, but not the top... http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&langId=-1&storeId=301&productId=502227170&view=20&No=20&Ntt=lace+dress&Ntk=all&N=1000894+4294959923&Nty=1&searchUrl=%2Fendeca%2FEndecaStartServlet%3Fview%3D20%26No%3D20%26Ntt%3Dlace%2Bdress%26Ntk%3Dall%26N%3D1000894%2B4294959923%26Nty%3D1&R=03275981 I wish there was a listing of beautiful boutique shops on the web. I know they're out there, but not how to find them!

What about http://www.etsy.com/listing/47200626/fishtail-flared-floor-length-black on etsy? Or maybe this http://www.etsy.com/listing/58441969/black-tutu-skirt-adult-sizes-tutu-skirts? http://www.etsy.com/listing/60099990/black-dragonfly-silk-brocade-bustle?
