My "not ugly" requirements were not too many sequins, no huge flowers, not flourescent, and couldn't possibly be mistaken for a Lilly Pulitzer. (Lilly Pulitzers are fine in their place. The "Special Occaision Dresses" section of a department store is not it.)

I think you should get a cheongsam.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can larger people actually wear cheongsams? Without looking foolish and falling over, I mean.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did you have a religious dress code to meet, Hil?
If this came in another colour, I'd totally be behind it.

I'm a size 16/18, and I wear them. Okay, I slit the sides up to the hips and wear them over a Big Skirt, but I've seen women my size and larger wear cheongsams in the usual manner and look fabulous.

Yep. Skirt past the knees, sleeves at least to the elbows, not even a hint of cleavage. I was figuring that if I could get something long enough and with a high enough neckline, then I could wear a cardigan over it, or if I could find something with the length and sleeves but not the neckline, then I could wear a camisole under it. I wasn't too worried about skirt length, since things that are supposed to be miniskirts tend to be just above knee-legnth on me, so anything reasonably long would work.

This needs a home, though I suspect with neither Hil nor Shrift.
I'd wear that style, I suppose. Just not in pink.
I'm just not glamorous enough to pull off the black one, though.

Austria has built the world's first beer swimming pool.
Babelfished from the original site:
Highlight of the 4000 square meters of large experience world including medieval castle: Filters beer pools. Everyone is filled with approximately 20,000 litres barley juice. However the beer does not flow by any means freshtapped from the cock. The original fermenting tanks made of high-grade steel are filled with the so-called Biergelaeger, the remainder yeast, which sets off when brewing in the beer tank.
The 4 times 4 meters of large tanks can be rented for 135 euro in each case one evening long. Amann: "natural does not have to bathe anybody in the Bierbruehe of its predecessors, we fills up the tubs for each Mr. or also lady evening freshly."
