JenP, my sizing issues are bust related and back related. Also the dresses were shockingly short waisted to me. And I'm already short waisted. I only tried ones that had no give, though. So perhaps I'd feel differently with a more forgiving fabric?
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

Early voting in Texas starts on the 24th. We close on the new house on the 24th and move (in theory) on the 26th. I'm worried if I update my voter registration now, something will go wrong if I try to vote in the new place.

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, make sure you get the vote in on the 24th then! I have visions of Texas surprising people.

It doesn't even sound like a stretch, does it.

Alarmingly plausible. Be as official and rule-following as you can.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I find their deep V-necks very deep, almost to the point of a misdemeanor.
Yeah, mine is a deep v, and it's just barely on the side of propriety.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Also the dresses were shockingly short waisted to me. And I'm already short waisted.
Good to know, Kat! I'm long-waisted and already disappointed in several recent online dresses that looked totally fine on the models but were practically empire-waisted on me, even after ordering a size up to accommodate for bosomal amplitude. If eShakti is short-waisted on an already short-waisted person, it's clearly very emphatically not going to be my beautiful cake.

Thanks, all. I don't have the bust area amplitude, so maybe that will mitigate short waisting a bit. I think I need to order one to try. I mean, it's the only way to find out, right? Thanks, all. Now, finding a tape measure might be an issue.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I just got a Craigslist item out the door at my asking price! Woo! Now to get the remaining two pieces out of here.
