it's that season again....the most dreaded season of all to any mother of teenage girls. Worse than baby shots, worse than trips to the dentist, worse than Suzuki violin book 1 (squeak, screech)It is formal dress shopping time.
Why is everything immodest, over priced, not in the right size, "makes me look fat", "looks like something you would wear", looks like something a street walker would wear?????
I was hoping to dodge the bullet, put off the pain a bit longer, avoid it all together...become Amish, ANYTHING!
but no,
J is going to her first high school dance. And I have to take her shopping.
Homecoming is in two weeks, and she's going to go with a bunch of girl friends. She likes the dress, above, and it would be cute with a little black shrug, which she has agreed to wear. But we are yet to step into a brick and mortar store and see if it exists on the racks.
wish me luck :(

Gosh, taking your teenage daughter shopping for "the dress" has got to be hard. Wishing you luck! I hope you find the perfect dress.
Not looking forward to that. Luckily your girls always find something cute and look great!
That is one of the hardest things to do--I hated it!!! Although it was fun to see them looking all beautiful in their MODEST dress. Loved your description at the beginning--it is definitely WORSE than any of those thngs mentioned!!!
Have fun.
i found a better dress, and its ALOT better priced!
i blogged about it
go look
<3 u mommy!
I like that dress with the shrug. looks cute. I hope all goes well...
I had not thought about that. H will be starting that soon I suppose, 5 left to go. Think they can just share 1 dress?
Sei and I were just talking about this exact thing. The dresses out there are carzy immodest. I'm glad you were able to find one and a solution. Hope it works out!
not loving any dresses i have seen lately
Ugh! It was hard to find modest formals 10 years ago. I can't imagine how much harder it must be now. Good luck! :)
