won't zip past my waist.
Corset. It's the Buffista answer. IJS.
Whoa! I... I think I'm having a thought. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a thought. Now I'm having a plan. Now I'm having a wiggins.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Will a corset squish my upper back, though? I think broth and celery will have to be involved as well, alas. (Besides, the dress has boning in the bodice. Wearing a corset underneath might make me slightly immobilie.)

Weird. I was just looking at my last Halloween picture (strong evidence that my ancestors were as Dutch as Dutch can be) and considering the brown bodice (kinda corset-ish) for prom.

Let's put it this way -- the more it squishes, the more you'll find the you have cleavage like you never dreamed dared dream of.
And, you know, the less oxygen.
So, your choice. I like a waist-cinchy but not overtight corset, meself.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Wearing a corset underneath
Don't most people wear them *over*?

Hmm. I have to get a waist cincher to wear under a bridesmaid's gown anyhow, since the one I have is annoying. Maybe with it, the dress will zip?
I can dream. (And experience all the fun of oxygen deprivation.)
Edit: Steph, yeah, over probably is the true Buffista way. Not sure how that would help me zip, though, unless the idea is to cover the un-fastened part.

Whee! Just finished booking my nights at the Tabard Inn and my return flight. (No, thank you, I won't be needing a hotel for my "stay" in Memphis.) I may have to amend my after dinner cocktails invitation to the hotel's lounge rather than my room, as the overriding priority of getting a claw-foot tub seems to have put us in a smaller room with an extra bed rather than couch, chairs, and coffee table (they put down that a larger room with one larger bed is preferred, but that may not be available). But hey, that way we have live jazz music in the background.

Woot! How far is the Tabard Inn from the F2F hotel? Is it easy access via the T, or will those of us staying there need a cab to get back?
I so should go look this up myself. Okay, off to do that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm not sure what I'm wearing to the Prom. I'd like to get a new outfit, but I have no idea where to look for something appropriate. There were a couple of dresses that might work at Hot Topic, but the sizing often doesn't work for me.(They expect that someone with my chest size would be a lot bigger in the waist and hips. Also, most of my chest is rib cage. feh)
I have no clue where to look for funky, yet reasonably priced clothes that are made for non-toothpick women in the suburban MD area.

I may have to seize the cat.
Kiba needs to teach me how to go shopping.Decide "I think I'll go to 'Store X' now, even though I oughtn't." I've found several bargains that way in just the past week.
Not to mention, where, as she is right up the street from me, and yet I never find fab dresses for a buck ninety-nine.Ross Dress for Less, Northpoint Shopping Center.
For the record, my dress is rather plain. I need fabulous accessories now. A trip to Hot Topic may be in order - I always wanted skull & crossbones hairclips.
