It’s a beautiful gown! It is just the thing for my left leg!

… Amen and again to what Twistie and Pencils had to say – although I think it is fantabulous that you didn’t need to change the hem length, Pencils!

Although there was a brief point in my life (it was even my adult life!) when I could wear the occasional “size 2″, I was never the shape of the gown shown – it’s far more linear than I have ever been since I was nine.

Wow what a gown- I love it!

It reminds me a little of a designer here called Lisa Ho who did some black and white gowns for celebrities. Stunning!

That is an amazingly beautiful gown!

However, like Twistie, I am a larger size, and, more importantly, six feet tall, so it was impossible to find a full-length consignment or used gown that would fit me and my taste. And I did look, as I was trying my best to save money. I did end up saving money on alterations, as I didn’t need any, not even the hem.

I think that would have to be the other question for me: what can I get in my size? Clearly, there wouldn’t be the selection in that regard. If, say, I fell in love with the gown pictured, there’s no way I could wear it. Even when I weighed a hundred pounds dripping wet, back when I was ooh, about twelve, I couldn’t have fit into that gown.

Still, if you go in knowing that you’re not going to be able to special-order that gown in your size from this place (and remembering that bridal sizes run smaller than street sizes) it looks like you can get a heck of a deal.

And as I always say, it’s nice to have choices, but you only need one of them to work for you.
