Mother of the Bride Dress Despair

I'm laughing in the video because I'm trying to have a good attitude and I realize that there are a lot of other more important things to be concerned about. But I have to tell you, in my little world, today was not a happy day. Ugh.

I think part of it is that I am too vain. But part of it is that I can't find a dress that actually fits me. Until last week, I was going to re-wear a dress that I had in my closet, a really nice formal occasion dress that I had only worn once or twice. I took it to the tailor for a fitting and unfortunately, I look like a sausage in it.

Now, the seamstress is going to take it out a little, but I'm not sure that this will make enough of a difference -- so it's back to the mall for me.

Tomorrow I may try some boutiques in Beverly Hills because I feel like I've done all the online shopping that I can do! But I'm not going happily. This is exhausting!
