Eek! We decided I need to try them on to decide.. So we ordered all except the blue one (loved it, but it was the most expensive and wasn't returnable)... So in about a week I will be trying them all on, and returning two! Ha ha.. Never did anything like that before! My hubby is a baaad influence, lol..

 Good for you!! Make sure you take some pics so we can all enjoy you trying them on!!

I thought you'd like my dress cos you seem to like that whole 'vintage' look - what's not to love about the 50's! The dress was a hit and I felt like the belle of the ball!

Good luck

I will def take pics! Ha ha.. I love, love vintage or vintage inspired clothes! I was so hesitant to purchase three dresses... But our local stores are kinda pricey for new gowns, and was able to order all three for $200.. So not too bad.. But still. I feel... Excessive!

I love the blue one but all are beautiful.  Is this for the Marine Corps Ball?

Yeah, I loved the blue one too.. But when it came down to it, I couldn't bring myself to buy a dress online that wasn't returnable- what if it didn't fit, yanno? Plus, the material (jersey) made me question if it was truly formal enough- yes it is for the Marine Corps Ball.. My fave part of being a Marine spouse, lol- prom every year! Ha ha..

My son is a Marine and is excited to attend his first Marine Corps ball. Have a wonderful time!

How awesome for him! Is he stationed locally? You must be a very proud momma!

I am a veru proud momma! No, he is station in 29 Palms California.  One of the reasons he chose California is so he could attend a family wedding in San Diego.  Also, my nephew is in the Navy and he is station in San Diego as well. He is trying to get on a list to get deployed which does not make momma happy.  I am sure you are a proud wife!  I know it is not an easy life.

I like the blue the best, or the red one that is glittery. The first red one kind of looks like it has a thong painted on the back of it.
