I am not looking for something elaborate. Just a simple pattern that i can knit in white for the day. I like feminine things, and have a soft spot for lace. I have not yet decided if I want a long or short dress, so all suggestions welcome.
I would be happy with links to patterns, free or not, as long as there are pictures. I would also be happy with book suggestions, particularly if there is somewhere online where i can see pictures of the patterns in the book. Bonus points if you have knit the pattern yourself, and double bonus points for pictures of how it turned out.

I seriously recommend that you attempt to get your hands on Maggie Righetti's "Sweater Design in Plain English". If you want the dress to *fit*, her methods will be a blessing. Some libraries have this.
Then you can knit-to-fit modifying a knit pattern or to match measurements of a garment which you know to be fitting.
Before you begin knitting, gather your intended undergarments to keep their lines in mind for placement of lacework.
If you wish to wear the garment on later occasions, you may want to consider multiple pieces, perhaps a skirt and shell and a shawl. The border from the shawl can be used on the hem of the skirt. The shell can be brief and totally plain, or can cover more of you with lacework at the throat and upper back. The shawl will *always* fit. :-) It can be as simple or as elaborate and time and patience may dictate.

I just knit Annie Modesit's camisole as the top for a wedding dress (I'm trying to start my own business). It turned out better than I imagined. I did it in a bamboo yarn with a nice sheen to it.

I also like http://www.whiteliesdesigns.com, which has some very romantic patterns.

I don't have any myself but you can ask your local yarn dealer. The Suss Cousins book "Wedding Knits" has a pattern for a knit wedding gown and you can check out what yarn she suggests for her gown.

There's a book called "Wedding Knits" that has a dress as well as other matrimonial 'must haves'.

I like women in jeans. It creates them look more city like and it generally does not look like they try too hard but if you're looking to get this folks attention, this might not be what you would like

I really do enjoy wearing long skirts once in a while. These are actually convenient than Skinny jeans rather than as hot to wear also.
