The Best Laid Plans of Mice, Men & Moms!

As I posted a week ago, the prom dress has been difficult.  The tailoring, the gathering, the making things "poofy"; none of it has gone according to plan.  Unless increasing my stress level WAS the plan!

So this week, I was pushing forward with the sewing, and hating every minute of it.  Then I had a "brilliant idea".  To calm myself and to be prepared in the event of a dress emergency...which frankly, was looking more likely at every passing minute; I decided to take Cindy to the mall "just to look"!

The first store we went to didn't have anything in her size that she liked.  While that seems like a good thing, it is difficult to have dresses that you like but they don't have your size!  Hustling Cindy along to the next stop before she had a chance to be depressed about the selection.  One of Cindy's friends, had found an adorable (and fairly inexpensive) dress at Penney's just a few days before.  And we found dress nirvana (cue angelic choir here).  Not one dress, not 2 but 3!  Surely when she tried them on, at least one wouldn't look good on her.  No such luck!  Three dresses, one gorgeous girl and unfortunately 1 price point.  And that price point was somewhere between GASP and brain explosion!

Say Yes to the Dress always says "know the price point before you try on the dress" because any dress out of your price range will be "the dress"!  Boy have they got that right!  But at least I don't have to stress over a dress!
