did you find a dress yet???? You are so funny Natalie...i guess it's been a while since I've been shopping for a formal dress and even then...it was "pre-marriage" so i wasn't exactly looking for one with sleeves...sorry. i can't believe you got your babysitters to organize for you...what are their names and numbers again? You actually got babysitters too! Nat...we're making progress..lol

This may sound weird but when I was little I use to have a HUGE crush on Blanch! I thought she was so sexy...

I hear ya! I bought myself a LBD (little black dress) for just such an occasion, but it turns out that even if it did fit me, we never have those occasions...

Try Nordstrom.com, and my personal favorite website for everything under the sun (it's totally reliable) is:

www.emailyourfriendalicauseshemissesyou.com

give it a try, I think you'll find something.

I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I LOVE YOU NAT! You make me laugh so hard! I completely frrl you pain on the shopping thing. If it's not Wal Mart one stop shopping, I don't have time. Aso, finding modest clothing that does not look like it belongs on the runway at a nursing home is impossible. Have you talked to Tifini Nally? She can make ANYTHING!

I feel your pain!

I think that even if you went dressed like a golden girl...you of all people could pull it off! I have this gorgeous grayish dress that would look AWESOME on you. It's from the Black and White Store. It's modest and classy. I'll see if I have a pic to email you. I've sadly had to retire it due to this little critter bursting at my seams. I'm not sure but is it possible for you to have a baby "bump" on your bum too???? :)

have you looked on Shabby Apple? They have way cute dresses. here: http://www.shabbyapple.com/t-apparel.aspx

Also look in the non-black dresses. there's one called "Slate" hat is a tuxedo dress that's cute. I've never bought anything, but a girl can dream can't she?

2009-02-16T15:59:00.000-08:00

Nat! I love your blog, it always makes me laugh!! If you're interested, I have a black dress that I just wore for my sis-in-law's wedding...it's probably too big for you, but you're welcome to come try it on. It's definitely black-tie appropriate, call me!

2009-02-16T14:52:00.000-08:00

I'm emailing you some cute options, but let's be honest.....you could wear a bath mat and kleenex boxes on your feet and still look stunning!!

2009-02-16T14:25:00.000-08:00

Come on!! You of all people cannot find a good deal on a cute outfit??!!! Then I have no hope to dress 'cute' everyday!! sweats it is.

Wow! Thank you all for your wonderful offers(jessica!) tips and suggestions/emails! They are giving me some hope:)! Janaya, i can't get the links to work. Will you send them again or tell me the names of the dresses?

Remi, are you mocking my use of Wikipedia:)? my blog inspired a song??? or did project playlist inspire a song? don't spend too much finding a dress for me, but let me know what you find:).

Thanks again everyone...let me know if you have more wonderful ideas/sites/...I'm open.

you have to get it online (which is scary), but i really like jcrew dresses, and you can get them in different colors. anyway... there's always promos going on, so if you decide to do something at jcrew let me know and i'll see what promos i can find. :) anyway, not sure what your budget is, but i love jcrew. good luck!

Didn't Shade (or some other LDS company) make little black dresses for a while? It seems as if they did. Maybe it would be worth checking out! :)

2009-02-16T11:26:00.001-08:00

1. I love that you used WIKIPEDIA as your reliable source for what to wear to a black tie affair.

2. Because of your blog, I am now writing a second song for Cole that might be the same tune and mostly the same words as Ingrid Michaelson's Giving Up.

3. For the remainder of the day, I will be online shopping for a non-Golden Girls-esque dress. Consider it done....unless you have a budget. :)

2009-02-16T11:26:00.000-08:00

Don't be fooled...that Rue was a floozy for her age. I remember seeing some wrinkly cleavage from that broad.

Well I have a black number I had to wear for my brother in laws wedding. It was strapless so I made a bolero to go over it. I think it looked cute and not too "I'm trying to cover up my g's-ish"...if you know what I'm sayin...

When is this affair anyway? I'm not sure what your size is but I would totally send my get up to you if you want to check it out. I even have fancy shoes that I only wore for like four hours.
