Oh, the dress and shrug are both size 22/24. I'm wearing 22 pants now, but the cotton pants are reeeeeaallllly snug, so I'll stick with the jeans that are more forgiving in 22, and the other pants in 24 for another 10 pounds or so. I'm debating if I should exchange the shrug for the 18/20, since it's the open-weave crochet knit style. I won't be needing it for another 7 weeks, and I'm hoping I'll be down 20 pounds by then, which is another size. I hate spending $70 for things I'll only wear once, but I figure if I get the smaller shrug, I might want to wear that in the fall, too.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I like Dress Barn.

You look great, Kathy!
I've never been to Dress Barn but if the clothes are that nice, I'll have to check it out.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cute, Kathy!
I'm eyeballing this one for the Black & Blue Ball in Vegas. I need something cheap, comfortable and sexy in either black or blue.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I like it, Kathy!
And Cashmere, that dress looks to fit the bill just right.

Oh, that's pretty, Cashmere!!
ChiKat had recommended going to the store and looking at the dresses in person before buying. My main problem with the selection was that all but four of the many dresses they had available were polyester and they felt like it. Florida in August does not lend itself to polyester, and I hate the way that it feels, anyway. The dress I got is one of the few that were cotton--the others were either black or almost-all white, both bad options for a wedding.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have such a first world problem I'm stewing over, it's literally not worth it to go into detail. But just know, first world problem, ok? This is real, people!

Kathy - you look great. (It amuses me that the shrug cost more than the dress.)

Diamond shoes suck, bon!
I hear they give terrible blisters when they're too tight!!
But seriously, first world problems can still be annoying, and when you're grumpy, everything else gets to you more too, and it becomes a big ball of suck that is hard to get out of.
