I don't know if I can afford it, but I do know that I am dreading the idea of spending a birthday here after T moves in June. I'll talk to Dave and see what he says.
Y'know, San Diego is beautiful and has many exciting attractions. Really, I could send brochures! IJS.

I would be willing to consider any options that get me out of New England for the 3rd of July, where the flight is around $200 a person.
Question for the people who sew-- based on the picture (which I know isn't always accurate), how hard do you think it would be for a professional to alter this [link] (especially getting rid of the bow)?
Perkins, getting rid of the bow should be the easiest thing - that's something that's usually added after the dress has been constructed (going waaay back when I actually sewed).
Perkins, I am willing to bet a pair of pointy-toed shoes that the bow is attached by about 5 stitches, and can be removed by anyone with a pair of small embroidery scissors.
Good lord. Really, the image that sprang to mind just then...for the love of Pete, don't tell Jeeves. I blush and boggle at the memory.
Bwah!

I could do that!
I'd probably also want to have the waist taken in though, which I wouldn't dream of doing myself.
It definitely looks like an easy enough matter to get rid of the bow. Other alterations, not sure.
So maybe I should see if I can get it for close to the $10 reserve and just hope that it is alterable, and doesn't look like pepto-bismal?

Eh, it looks like a matter of taking in two seams in the back. If you don't sew, take it to a tailor, but it wouldn't be a difficult alteration.
