dress shopping

today was our first day of dress hunting with tash. she got voted to be her junior prom queen, which is soooooo cool. now it's time to find an appropriate dress that tash likes and her aunty will approve of....and that will be difficult. we went to six places today but only tried on dresses at two.

i didn't quite understand how difficult dress shopping is for tash until we did it for the first time when we were looking for her 8th grade banquet dress. even at that age, no matter what kind of dress we tried, her boobs were the first thing anyone would see when looking at her. the dress we eventually found was nixed by her aunty because of the amount of cleavage that showed.

so now it's prom time and i'm expecting that finding the right dress is going to take a few more visits to the stores. the best one we saw, a white, strapless, sweetheart cut bedazzled dress may get vetoed by the aunty because of the cleavage factor. i told tash that probably the best cut for her is going to be strapless with a straight across cut...yes, the boobs will still be evident, but at least it won't show as much cleavage as a halter type neckline.

my vote is still for a white dress, but tash is a lot more daring than me when it comes to colors so i think she'll end up with something quite colorful...lol.
