I'd probably also want to have the waist taken in though, which I wouldn't dream of doing myself.
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.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Perkins--I got my Daddy O's dress yesterday, and it just didn't work. It had a nice high waist (so little hits me there), but then high hips too, and since I don't have my hips there it resulted in strange bulges of fabric.
I have to admit I wasn't impressed with the construction too much, or the fabric. Not a $73 dollar dress, even if it fit.
If only the chick at dangerdame would talk to me! My e-mail's gone ignored, and no one picks up their phone.

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.
hmm- flights are hella 'spensive now with fuel costs, etc. + on holiday weekend...
I suggest a drive to Vermont and a stay in a cute inn! Summer in VT is beautiful and off season, so quieter and cheaper than in the fall and winter.

ita, she emailed me last week to make sure I had gotten my dress, and to let me know that she's been flaky about responding to things because she's been flying to Florida to help take care of a friend who has cancer.
I have to return/exchange my DaddyO's dress, because while the tag says XL, the actual measurements of the dress are the ones listed for a size Medium.

I would be willing to go before or after the holiday weekend if it would get me near other buffistas, but you're right about the gas prices. I didn't think of that.

Mostly lurking...
Oh, shit. Em could be home soon, and I haven't showered or anything. Actually, I was really productive this morning...it's just this damn headache. I can hardly move. Thank goodness Not!Emily was home when my package came, so he could go down and get it.

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.
Quite. I don't think the lines were quite enough for you, young miss Fay. Report to the headmaster's office.
Miss Plei is going on report too, oh yes indeedy.

Feh. Both of these are bad to hear. I ordered one of their sale dresses, which I should get in a day or so, but it sounds like I may end up returning it.

I can recommend a kick-ass restaurant in Vermont....
