You can find a plus size evening dress in the plus size section of a department store. Both Macys and Nordstroms have plus size sections. It is best to try them on in person.
The biggest dress size in most plus size stores is 32.

The best place to buy a plus size evening dress for under $100 online is to shop at a store that specializes in plus size gowns. The highest rated store online is One Stop Plus (http://www.onestopplus.com) which has many evening dresses for under $100.
Yes, a plus size cocktail dress would be appropriate. Just make sure it's not too short.
When looking for a flattering plus size dress, you should consider the style and print of the dress before purchasing. Try to find a solid color dress or one that does not have a lot of large print across the bodice. Look for a dress that has a structured form and avoid dresses that are loose fitting. When choosing a length, try to find a dress that ends mid-calf or just above the knee. Stay away from dresses that are too tight or that have big bows in the back, as they will not be flattering.
To turn a small dress into a plus size dress would be extremely difficult. You would have to find a great seamstress who would know how to incorporate extra fabric (which must be matching) into the dress to make it look natural. Not easy to do even for an experienced person.
There are several online stores with a variety of beutiful dresses. For example, http://www.sydneyscloset.com/ or http://www.igigi.com/plus-size-dresses/plus-size-evening-dress or http://www.curvely.com/formaldresses.html
Finding a dress for under $25 is going to be hard espcially for a lus size. I would suggest checking www.craigslist.org for used clothing.
Some stores, such as Walmart, Target, or Kmart, sell dresses in many sizes, including size 18. Also, one could easily find a dress in size 18 at a plus-size store, such as Lane Bryant or Torrid.
If you mean an online retailer,I would try J.Crew.They have lots of evening dresses and have plus-size choices.The sale section is a good place to get a start,then look in the new section if you don't find what you want.
