I love a theme...

Sigh.

So, I went on the quest to find a perfect flapper dress for the Bon Voyage Ball, because no one loves a theme more than me and the idea of trotting out a dress that WASN'T somehow a perfect replica or cheeky homage to 20s fashion simply wasn't an option. If I could have actually gotten my hands on some replica Lina Lamont costumes from " ( Read more... )

Where have you been hiding? Let's have brunch or drinks, I'm officially done with end of semester hell tomorrow!

Also, you're going to Terminus, right? Shall we talk hotel?

i've been apartment hunting - oy! - but all done now!

YES DRINKS OR BRUNCH!! i'll email you.

and another yes to terminus. we should definitely talk hotel when we see each other. :)

That is just totally awesome! I can't believe Terminus isn't really that far away at all. Hopefully, when you get the dress, things will be fine :)

I know, it's so odd to think we're only a couple of months away, I'm really getting excited!

I'll definitely update once the dress actually arrives and I see if it actually fits...I've never bought clothes on ebay before for precisely this reason!

Very nice.

Being the cheeky sort, I'd wear that dress other places. Heh.

I could use links, if you still have a list! Not that I have any idea ever what size I am and it changes about every month.

Ooh, I've got an amazing one that would have been my back-up had I not won the auction:

The site as a whole has amazing, reasonably priced dresses broken down by era:

They also have a whole section of flapper dresses:

Thank you! I think I've figured out why I've been avoiding buying a dress, now that I've looked at some of these--not that they're not gorgeous, but the style is almost everything I avoid in dresses. Heh. I may perhaps have to go up to the 40s to find something that goes with pear-shaped. :))

Dude, why do you think I went to ebay? ;) The drop-waist thing isn't terribly flattering on us ladies who have hips. 40s/50s is the way to go- they have some awesome stuff on that site.
