    ButI thought i'd try anyway

    I am going to an awards night dinner thing (for 12 week challenge) on Dec 5th and I can see the dress I want in my head. It's black and it comes high at the neck (kind of like turtle neck I think but not rolled over)and is sleeveless so the top is almost like a triangle (the sort of shape that accentuates your shoulders) and I want it cut down low at the back.

    it's a Sixties vintage design, i think i know exactly the one because i have one...a Sixties original in black crepe and diamontes. have you thought of getting a pattern and having a dressmaker do it?

    i hope you find what you want! graduation dresses are very special

    I would say you may be looking at $200+ to get it made depending on the quality of the material and the complexity of the design. Shop around for a seamsmistress and just tell them you have a budget.

    Let us know how you go!

    I have found it...but it's in England!!



    A bit of a dilemma. Do I order it? What if it doesn't fit? It says returns have to be made within 14 days...timing could be pretty tight if it doesn't fit. Also it is a little on the short side...

    What do you think?? And what do you think of the dress?

    CQ - scope out the other images - it's not what you wanted hun - it's high at the back, and has a cross over neck line - so yeah, it emphasises your shoulders, but essentially has exactly the same back as the front

    I know the back isn't what I wanted but I don't mind! I love it!
