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.
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?)
Now here we're right in sync.
The last one that Bev linked is awesome. I could rock that, if it was precisely the right occassion. It feels a little OTT for what you're going for here though.

I have that problem with shirtdresses. I love them...I love that style. But they do not look good on me at all.
Barb, I think that dress would be PERFECT on you.
Hivemind, who's hosting the oscars?
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
Barb, I think I like this one for the event so far the most.
It's gorgeous.
It is. I've sworn off buying dresses ahead of the occasion, and I'm certainly avoiding the occasions, or that would totally be on the list.
