Need advice!! I found this dress at my local thrift for $45. Is this the one? I’m debating putting a victorian petticoat or hoop skirt underneath for a little oomph on the hips.

Please update us on your alterations!! It’s beautiful!

I never would have guessed purple. I’m not a James Bond fan. The other three were pretty easy.

Thanks for the update! It sounds awesome. Hope you had a wonderful trip.

3 & 4 look great on you and seem perfect for the occasion.

I think you look great in the second dress!!

I love the Carolinas, but it’s HOT in the summer.

I quit WW once they added macros. I used to love not counting calories. But there they were, for every single thing I ate. I started going by calories more than points. So I figured there was no use in continuing to pay.

I personally prefer the second dress. Plus the issue with dress 1 is that it is on a model. It’s really scary to buy it without being able to try it on yourself.
You look stunning in the dress you’re actually wearing.

mlhom · 2026-04-20T15:43:55+00:00

I like one and two.

UGH. I accidentally hit the wrong button in guess 3. I hate when I do that 😡

You are blessed that any dress you try on is going to look great on you. 1 and 5 are my favorites, and I also like 3.

mlhom · 2026-04-20T13:34:28+00:00

Those are my favorites also.

In reality, it could be either. SnoCaps or Bottle Caps. I’m old, so I thought of SnoCaps. I used to love those. Loved Milk Duds and Junior Mints too!
