Congratulations! What a great bargain you have found too. I want to be tiny enough to wear a purple lace dress now. Do it!! Life is too short not to wear a purple lace dress! Lmao!! Yes, life is too short, as is my body, compounded by the fact it is also too wide. |

I'm not a fan of lace dresses, your purse, jewelry, nails could all nag it plus you have to be careful where you sit.

You guys. I’m in tears. I found it on ebay for $24 with free shipping. They had a 20% off coupon code so I spent a total of $19.21. Now that’s a gamble I’m willing to take!! And if it doesn’t fit, there’s another seller with the next size up for $45. Unfreakingbelievable!!!!! What a find! That's fantastic!!! |

UPDATE I sent a picture to my DIL to be, with the preface that I hadn't been able to turn it down and would happily wear whatever she preferred, and she responded with GORGEOUS!! Yes yes wear it!! It will fit in perfectly!! (She is such a gem!!) Now all I have to do is pray it fits. I looked at the ebay listing again and the measurements given are not at all what the online size chart said, so I'm a bit anxious. Will be on pins & needles until it gets here. But anyhoo - yay!!

Lovely update. You sound like you have a great relationship with your future DIL. We are working on getting to know each other. They live several states away so we’ve only met her once, but she’s a lovely girl and has been very good for him!! They make a fabulous match. |

So I know I said I have shoes but then realized that we’ll have a mom/son dance and that means swing dancing and that means boots for the reception. So then I started looking at purple & black boots which led me to these:  Have mercy!!!! |

Congratulations to your son & his bride-to-be on their engagement. The color, style, fit, & price of the dress are perfect, & you look beautiful & happy. (((hugs)))
(As an aside: Did anyone else re-read the OP to confirm that she's the MOG, not the bride?)
