this is kinda interesting. [note: coat, not dress]
It is very nice. The only reason I returned the one I ordered was that it wasn't *quite* fitted enough through the bust & waist or full enough to drape over my skirts.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I need this skirt. The fact that I have no where to wear it and nothing to wear it with notwithstanding. I also love this coat but double breasted styles and my figure are non-mixy things.

Ooooh, that dress is gorgeous. I thought wearing black to a wedding was "not done".
The bride is closer to my age than his...but she lacks even a shred of maturity.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
For that skirt, Calli? Make the occasions. The color and the swingy hem would be stunning on you.

That's pretty much gone by the wayside, especially for an evening wedding, double-especially that far into the fall.

Good to know, if I'm going to get a new dress, I want something I would wear again and black is my usual color.

Thrive to spite them
At an evening wedding black is fine. One of my cousins got married about two years ago and almost all the women were wearing black dresses. Some were dresses with a print and a black background, but still black. The most popular style (including mine) was sleeveless, almost mid calf, with black underdress and a black chiffony over lay thing with a pattern or design on that. And a whispy little shawl thing, usually that came with the dress. No hose and sandals or pumps -- that turned out to be a good choice because it rained the whole night and the dance floor and part of the food were outside (under cover) and most of us ended up barefoot and dancing on the dance floor/in the mud.

Thanks! Yes, it's very tempting. [bookmarks] I may see about getting either cash or a gift certificate from my folks for my birthday, and blow it all on clothes. 'Cause I'm liking a fair bit of what I'm seeing this season.
