Deep breaths, Consuela. If you can get them into this place, all of this will be very much worth it.

Mayim Bialik's dress doesn't look like anything you couldn't find in the mother of the bride department at any store. Also, don't call a designer, call a dressmaker, if you want to tell them exactly what you want. It's not hard.

I love her character on Big Bang, and the way she plays it, but every time she says anything about parenting, my eyes roll out of my head.

and so obviously HER quest for a long-sleeved gown is totally different from, say, Julianne Moore's or Julia Ormond or Lena Headly...

Yeah, those are all completely modest and attractive dresses.

Modest I will grant you, but that color on Julianne Moore was anything but attractive.

I once shopped with a friend who was looking for an orthodox-approved dress for an LA fall wedding (she was the sister of the bride, who'd converted), and you'd think that would not be that hard, for fall. Knee length or longer wasn't much of a problem, but finding things that covered the clavicle was. This was just in a mall, not at tv-star levels of access to things, of course, and could vary by season and current fashion trends, but she had very few choices indeed. I imagine for summer it could be nearly impossible.

Really? I thought she looked amazing.

I liked that color on Julianne Moore, too. With her hair and coloring, I thought it worked. It didn't look as good on Julie Bowen at all.

As a person who prefers to wear dresses with sleeves, I have definitely found the shopping easier in the last couple of years, although department store formalwear gets Mother of the Bride really fast.

Frank, I'm so sorry.

This is why I'm learning to sew.

Frank, I'm so sorry, and I hope her last days are easy.

I'm so sorry, Frank.

Much love to you all and ease to her, Frank.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Frank.
