When I find a nice 70´s dress at the secondhand shop in the size I wear, it is invariably too small, particularly in the waist. And young people are generally getting taller, at least here. I registered for school today, and some of those young women are so tall!

When my daughter was shopping, they were mostly strapless which did not appeal to her at all, but eventually we found just the right dress. You are so right about the service, and that makes a big difference in the final decision. Perhaps the sales girls don't quite realize that?! You seem to always find great little places to take us for lunch too....happy T day!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657202600364368434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-83284616768859978692015-08-18T16:55:14.652-07:002015-08-18T16:55:14.652-07:00Congrats on finding the perfect dress.

Now I'm much thicker in the waist but still wear the same size, because they've changed the measurements so we won't feel bad about ourselves ;) That said, she has always been slender. 0 is the smallest size I know. I don't know any adults who would wear a smaller size, but if they did the clothes would have to be altered to fit. <br /><br />My new top for the wedding is a size small, but it didn't come in petite sizes, so it'll have to be shortened. Everybody's so tall! Or that's what it looks like from down here ;)Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-14846268484780151342015-08-18T13:43:13.210-07:002015-08-18T13:43:13.210-07:00Sounds like you are having fun with preparations t...Sounds like you are having fun with preparations to the wedding! I like your decision to wear pants - very elegant and sophisticated! <br /><br />You know, I didn´t realize that size 0 was actually a real thing - I thought it was just a retorical magazine expression that meant "impossible standards for supermodels and therefore young impressionable girls = eating disorders". What if one is smaller than a 0? Are there minus-sizes?

Sounds like you have things in hand. I wouldn't want to deal with indifferent employees, either, for such a big event. When you are paying a lot you do expect decent service. <br />Myself--I never wanted the big wedding. Don't regret not having one, but I know many young ladies have imagined and dreamt of it for years. I hope everything goes as she wants it to. Happy times!<br />And happy T-Day! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-79881159400674486642015-08-18T09:03:35.765-07:002015-08-18T09:03:35.765-07:00Divers looks like you are having a fabulous time. ...Divers looks like you are having a fabulous time.

I know dresses are expensive because back in the 90's I helped a friend (I was her maid of honor) pick out a dress. Of course her parents spared no expense and the dress was $6000.00. I can only imagine what it would cost today. It was a beautiful dress, but she lost a bit of weight before the final fitting and they had to take it in quite a bit TWICE before the big day. The shop didn't make much money on the deal since the fittings were included in the cost. I kept thinking though, how much they could have saved for their future if she had gone with a less expensive wedding. I think the final total was around $11,000.00, but thankfully that included the reception.<br /><br />The place you ate lunch looked like it was fun, but it would have been too hot to eat outside here in KS.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your good, bad, and indifferent wedding dress experiences, as well as your lunch with us for T this Tuesday. I also look forward to your other Tupelo adventures, too.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-69019124982597096182015-08-18T08:16:35.344-07:002015-08-18T08:16:35.344-07:00Congratulations on finding the perfect dress!

Chicken salad sandwich sounds good, too, but the bad service in one of the Memphis shops was not encouraging. Sounds like our book shop here, I asked them to search for a book for me, and she told me I should look at home in he computer - I did just that, and bought it online!
