sj, did you try J.Crew?
They have a lot of silk and a lot in stock. Not all of it is through the roof expensive.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

(My Sister threw a big wedding crazy fast. She put the "maid" in bridesmaid I'll tell you what.)
Trying definitely counts, Andi. Good for you.
sj, how about this for under whatever you find?
poor smonster, had to go to Urgent Care, the opthamologist, the pharmacy (allergic reaction, I think) ON HER BIKE IN THE RAIN ON VACATION. Tom and I got back from work and she's crashed out in bed, poor thing.
I feel so bad for her.
sj, when you feel up to it, post a link to your ideal dress and size, and I am sure the hivemind can point you in the right direction!
Buffistas are the bestest, in case I haven't mentioned it lately.
sj, does it have to be silk?
I would really prefer it, but I would be happy with an natural feeling soft fabric that isn’t polyester or the like.
sj, rest up and hydrate to clear out the overdidits...then relax and try again.
Margaritas don’t count as hydrating do they? TCG took me out for Mexican food, even though I know he really really didn’t want to go out.
sj, did you try J.Crew?
Yes, the 2 I really liked do not come in a large enough size.

I already bought a pretty white crinoline on ebay, that was the easy part.

I don’t have a link because I can’t find the ideal dress; as usual it only exists in my head. I wear a 14 in most clothing but I am finding dresses are running smaller.
Most dresses created for the wedding industry run about 2 "sizes" smaller. Assholes.
Buffistas are better than the birds in Cinderella for trimming finding a pretty pretty dress for a pretty pretty sj!
Jilli: What's the recommended method for getting odors like smoke out of something you don't want to wash, like a corset? Cheap vodka in a spray bottle? Do you dilute it with water?
