Hi All,

I bought this dress last year and never had occasion to wear it. I loved this dress but now it's way too big. Kind of a bittersweet thing, don't you think? Anyway, as it's wedding/grad/party season I thought someone on the OH boards would like to have it. I don't have a clothing exchange in my small town so I thought I could Expresspost it to someone.No charge for either the dress or the shipping but here are my three requirements:

1. You have an occasion that you need a dress for. I'd really like it if the dress actually got worn and didn't sit in someone else's closet for another year.

2. Send me a pm, please. :)

3. When you "under"grow it, please offer it to someone else - nice dresses in plus sizes are difficult to find,

Description of the dress.

Size 2X. It fits like a 20/22. ****tail-mid calf length - depends on how tall you are. It's a pale blush pink with black satin sash. V-neck in both front and back. Crystal brooch on sash. Material is chiffon. Both the sash and bodice are finely ruched. It's a very flattering cut.

Here are a few pics: front, back, and sash with broach

ETA: I'll collect names of those interested through the weekend then do a name draw on Monday. Not everyone can check the OH boards at work so I thought this was more fair. I'll let you know on Monday who the lucky winner was. :)
