Thanks SS and Sandyb,

Does anybody have any thoughts on shoes to go with the one I plan to wear to the wedding?

If you look at that picture, you can see that certain things have been considered for women of an age. Those princess seams or darts or whatever they are called can be pretty wonderful sometimes. I am just hoping that they are miraculous. We will see I guess. And the 3/4 sleeves on the jacket solve a problem too. The beading is just enough and it is taken all the way around to the back of the collar and dips into a little design. And the beading detail looks like it will be just fine without worrying about a necklace. Earrings to find. Maybe a bracelet.

SS, about those knees. Oh, it will be too long when it arrives. Dresses seem to be made for really tall women. So if this thing fits right everywhere else, I will have to make a decision about the knees. But I can tell you one thing that is for absolute certain. THAT JACKET IS NEVER COMING OFF I DO NOT CARE IF IT IS 115 DEGREES IN THAT CHURCH, NOT EVEN AT THE RECEPTION!

That black one I am a little unsure of. The right jersey fabric with the right weight to it can cover a multitude of sins. But I have been sinning a lot lately so we will see how that goes.

Ohmygoshohmygosh! I have gone from being in a total freak-out frenzy just 24 hours ago to falling in love on the internet!!!! --- with a dress!

I will be looking out the window all day on Monday, waiting for that delivery truck. Cross your fingers, please.

And that shoe question, I am seriously asking. The color may be a tough one without going the dyed route which I don't think I want to do. We all know that limits the shoes from being worn with other stuff. But that color is going to be tough. BUT OH I DO NOT CARE. I'M IN LOVE! I'M IN LOVE! I'M IN LOVE WITH A WONDERFUL DRESS!! (I sure hope it works out. I'll let you know when the truck comes.)
