As Promised, Red Dress Photos
I had my son snap a few photos of the red dress after church on Sunday morning. It doesn't look quite as fresh as it did when I left the house earlier in the morning, but you get the idea.
I'm very pleased with it. It wore comfortably, even though it is pretty fitted. I'm still not quite on board with the pleated skirt, but I don't think it looks horrible, either. I think if there wasn't such a disparity between my waist and hips, it would look less out of proportion.
Thank you all for the comments on the running outfit. Cidell had used gripper elastic, too, and so I ordered up the gripper elastic this morning and was able to get it in 3/4" wide, which is the same width as the hem. I think the fabric definitely had an influence on the creeping up of the shorts, this lycra stuff is pretty slippery. That's certainly something to think about with future garments!
Parting Shot: With a Bow. Oh yeah, we just had to put a bow on Wellie. My daughter was looking through the ribbon bin with Wellie's help and that's what he got as a reward for "helping".

Both you and Wellie look great in your finery. :)
Wellie looks REALLY unhappy. I'd be concerned about retaliation.
Mr. Wellie is saying "I am NOT amused". It's amazing how clearly we can hear him!
Your red dress looks great!
The red dress looks really nice on you - wish I had some hip/waist disparity. . .lol. But really, from the pictures you shoulders and hips look balanced.
Wellie looks miserable. . .lol.

It looks fabulous on you. Great fit.
He's handsome!
Blue tie is better than black tie!
Your dress looks beautiful on you! It's a keeper.
I love this dress on you! I don't think the disparity is as "disparit" as you think. I love the pleat too. You have a beautiful woman's figure - not a Hollywood Barbie. As for Wellie - he loves you enough to deal with this - at least it is blue =:)
You look fantastic in the red dress!
Fabulous outfits on both of you :) although you look a lot happier than Wellie :)
my goodness wellie! So funny!
This dress is marvellous iand you look gorgeous. Red is definitely your color
You look stunning. Red is definitely your color.
That "disparity" is what makes it look so good!
You look beautiful in this red dress.
Wellie is pretty handsome himself :)
the dress is gorgeous, and fits wonderfully. have you ever considered going just a bit shorter with your skirts? It would lengthen your legs and demphasize your "hip to waist disparity" immensely. I'm petite as well, and always have to shorten things more than I think I want, only to discover they do indeed look better.
You look great in that beautifully made dress.
The dress is lovely and you great in it :)
