I was only 45, but everything was so matronly. I was okay with that, because after all it wasn't my day, but my daughter was emphatic that I wore just what she wanted - fair enough. I finally ended up with an Ellen Tracy suit that I loved.Kathie Truitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112414357583203795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-92142461403400970802009-02-22T20:09:00.000-05:002009-02-22T20:09:00.000-05:00Funny: That's why I advocate vintage; one of our b...Funny: That's why I advocate vintage; one of our blogfriends recently bought a Chloe silk dress at Goodwill for $4! I'm for looking gorgeous, not matronly, regardless of how one's dress is acquired; retail, resale, dressmaker, DIY or borrowing.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-67418146117580654692009-02-22T19:38:00.000-05:002009-02-22T19:38:00.000-05:00Beautiful outfits!Where on EARTH do people get tha...Beautiful outfits!<BR/><BR/>Where on EARTH do people get that kind of money to spend on clothes????? If I had that much laying around, I'd get some French doors installed in my house...or maybe stop worrying about whether & when I'm going to be laid off.

Description. Ever....<I>Mrs. Doubtfire hit a prom </I><BR/><BR/>Best. Description. Ever.<BR/><BR/>I dread ever being invited to a formal occasion, because of the dearth of stylish dresses that aren't sleeveles/ see-through/ cut-down-to-there. But then I could probably find something to rent from the place I rented my bridal gown. I like the choices you've shown here.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.com
