The company Mintee also is making a goddess style dress in a stone color that is embroidered with gold detailing.

This dress retails for about $314.
Another good company is Foley and Corrinna which has a cotton jersey dress that is only $237. This goddess style dress is a buttery yellow and has low cut v neck from which folds of fabric fall. Ruching at the side of the dress accent the bosom.

More formal is the classic Goddess dress by Marchesa which features a tight strapless floor length sheath draped with fabric over one shoulder. The waist is clasped by a broad silver belt. This is the most conservative take on floor length godde3ss gowns because it comes in a dark navy blue. It is a very conservative style.
