Willow ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Found a pic of the dress: [link]
Oh, I remember that one now!
I will confess to really liking this halter dress. Reminds me a bit of a dressier Trixie and perhaps with a nice stole, it could work.
And I'm having a serious unholy love for this dress. I just have to remind myself that a) I am not 5'9" and reed thin, nor can I wear heels to give the illusion that I'm taller.
(And I think the print negates the black background.)
Oh, that Nightingale dress is lovely.
This one they actually call the Zelda dress: [link]
That one's really lovely and I love that color. Unfortunately, it make me look like ass on toast.
Love that dress, even if it made me feel sort of naked.
That site is good at making me moun not being five nine.
I'm always a ho for silk: [link]
And I keep telling Cass she should buy this: [link]
Personal style is so interesting. Those dresses are so lovely, and yet there's not a one (maybe the halter neck) I can see myself ever being comfortable wearing. It's one thing if you don't like something, but the gap between "that is so gorgeous" and "I can see me wearing it" is an odd thing.
(I can see them on other people, sure. I remember that turqoise dress from before and it's perfectly Trudy. Not remotely Brenda.)
ETA: though that one skirt Barb linked is right up my alley. I don't have a good enough sense of Barb-style yet to know how close it is to hers. Though I loved the dress you ended up with at the last big event.
Barb, any of these
from that site would look fabulous on you.
msbelle, you have all my hugs tonight. I so get the room with only a mattress impulse. What you're doing is incredibly strong and loving and so, so difficult.
The parents on this board just all--well. Every single child born should have parents like you and Cash and Kat and Laura and the rest of you, each of you, all of you.
Y'all are linking to all of my favorite dresses on that site! I bought the paisley scarf dress, but haven't had the courage to wear it yet.
msbelle, I'm in awe of you, honestly. It just amazes me, how well you deal with all this. And yes, I think you DO deal with it all incredibly well.
Bev, I really liked the Sunset Dress [link] but I wasn't sure how it would look with flats. Maybe flat sandals?
Argh.
Formal gowns are so much easier. (And what does it say about me that I can be more comfortable in a formal gown than a simple dress?)
Oh, msbelle. I hope he takes the right amount of time before coming back out.
ZK, that paisley scarf dress will be cleavagalicious! Use it wisely!
