Dress me: part 3.

The package looked like a throw pillow - Pleasantly big, squishy and a little heavier than I expected.
And he wouldn't let me carry it home. I got to hold it for approximately 3.6 seconds before I gave it back.
I tried it on as soon as I walked in the door.
So so nervous as I opened it.
And it didn't help that I looked at the information paper tucked behind the label on the walk home. And it read "Satin".

Wait.
What?
Satin?
I didn't ask for satin.
Satin?!

Oh man that made me nervous.
And then a certain someone asked me "what if it was really pink instead of white? what would you do?" Oh yeah. That's not gonna make me any more nervous.
OH WAIT. yes it did.
So, I made him rip a corner open so I could make sure then and there that it most definitely was NOT pink.
It wasn't. Hallelujah.

But I still couldn't tell if it was taffeta (what I ordered) or satin(?!). The inside plastic was too hard to see through to tell.

Good thing I opened it as soon as I walked in the door and threw my backpack down. They put it in the package inside out. As soon as I realized that, I was smothered in ruffles trying to turn it the right way. But once I saw it, I knew.

I LOVE IT.
Holy smokes.

It isn't exactly like the website one. But when I say "not exactly like", I mean there are only slight slight slight (get the idea?) slight slight differences. And if you hadn't even seen the "original" before, you would never have known.

Seriously. Best decision ever.
I cut the price down by........ guess how much!
95% (after purchasing extra fabric which added to the total price.)
1/20th of the in-store designer price. ONE-TWENTIETH!
Oh man. I love it.

Dress me. Part 2

It's here!!!
I got this awesome text while sitting in class:
"The eagle has landed! I repeat, the eagle has landed!"
Oh glorious words. No longer could I pay any attention to childhood obesity and what we, as friends, parents and concerned citizens can do to help this "CRISIS".
It's here. My dress. At my front door!!

But I can't go home until after work.
But it's at my FRONT DOOR!!!!
