Oh, Spidra. You're in my thoughts, love.

Spidra, I hope that your fears are unfounded.

Aimee, I'm glad to hear the talk went okay, and that you scored a sundae from the boss.

I really need to get off my arse and go to my yoga practice. It's on campus, near my office, so I have trouble getting myself to go that direction on a Saturday. It is however, my favorite teacher and I'm going to miss my spin class tomorrow because of a brunch.

Vibing for you and your brother, Spidra.

Fay's parents are clearly the world's best, which is unsurprising, given what we know of their daughters.

ION, vintage dress porn, specially for Aimée but really for everyone:

40” bust, 32” waist, both foofy and chic: [link]

Too wee for many Bitches, including myself, but maybe Kristin? It’s just too utterly fucking cute not to post. Plus, black and pink! [link]

40” bust, 30-31” waist, black with orangey flowers (sounds hideous, but looks pretty and vaguely late summer/Halloweeny): [link]

38-40” bust, 30” waist, black polka-dot taffeta with a pink shelf bust - crazy expensive but OMG so cool: [link]

Very erinaceousy - red fruit print sleeveless dress, 40” bust, 30 1/2” waist, in ridiculously good condition: [link]

Holy Hannah, this thing is gorgeous and Aimée would look hotter than a blazing-hot thing that scorches in it: cherry red chiffon short but crinoline-ready dress, 42” bust, 34” waist: [link]

Early 50s or possibly late 40s slim-skirted black lace cocktail dress, pretty and human-sized: 42” bust, 36” waist, 46” hips: [link]

Semi-swanky day dress in black cotton eyelet lace with teeny rhinestone buttons, semi-full skirt: 42” bust, 31” waist: [link]

Again too teeny for folks who are not Kristin or sj or the like, but so gorgeous that Kristin or sj or the like really should bid on it (and maybe a non-teeny person who sews or knows sewing people could use it as a pattern, backless black velvet party dress, 38” bust, 27” waist: [link]

Early mod does flapper dress in black and white, 46” bust, 44” waist, 48” hips: [link]

Utterly gorgeous black lace over taffeta evening dress (with sleeves!), 41-42” bust, 33” waist: [link]

Basic black silky-rayon evening dress (with sleeves!), could easily be tarted up witth lace or ribbons or whatnot, 44-45” bust, 36” waist: [link]

Impossibly tiny, but just look at it! I am totally in love with Lili Diamond: [link]

Silver silk strapless evening gown with bat sleeve bolero jacket, 40” bust, 30” waist: [link]

Utterly, utterly beautiful black evening dress, 40” bust, 32” waist. Whimper. [link]

eta: Except for the one 40s dress and the mod thingie, everything else has free hip measurements.

Oh, my. How much do I crave that wing-bust dress? But I've promised myself no more dress purchases for the month.

If you can't break a promise to yourself, who can you?

What Aimee said, ita.

Love those, JZ. I was already watching this one

Utterly, utterly beautiful black evening dress, 40” bust, 32” waist. Whimper. [link]

but I added several of the others.

Utterly, utterly beautiful black evening dress, 40” bust, 32” waist. Whimper.

Ooooohhhhhhh. And even kind of vaguely my size. But any new clothing purchases for this month will have to be summery nice-casual stuff that I can wear for teaching. That doesn't quite fit the bill.

that I can wear for teaching

This

It's Kentucky Derby Day, right?

Only saw a few minutes, but it made me wish I could wear hats.

Now to look at all the links. I haven't found anything yet.

But I did arrange to have MIL stay with the kids while I'm out of town. Yay!

I have a stupid question, but how do you measure yourself for dresses like the ones JZ linked to?
