The last time I had to buy a formal dress was when I was VERY pregnant with Lucas. Obviously I was less that excited about having to buy a somewhat expensive dress while feeling, to put it delicately, puffy. Well, with an upcoming wedding, (that is nothing like I've attended), I've been told to dress for a black tie/white tie occasion. Which means I was a little bit excited to get to buy a fancy dress. Fast forward to this weekend. My friend Heather and I started perusing the internet and local stores only to come up with the likes of the dress that is above. Finding a formal dress that isn't matronly, but not harlot-esque is a hard task. Everything was one extreme or the other! I did end up buying a dress (not the one above or below), but I had to have it altered!!?? Does anyone know of a place that sells dresses for this market? I know there are dress shops like
shabbyapple and the like, but I haven't seen the formal thing done yet. I know I won't have the need to buy a dress like this for a loooooog time, but when I do I would appreciate someone starting a company to take care of my needs. Thank you!
