April 2nd, 2008

When I was in high school and prom dress shopping, I had the most ridiculous time finding a nice dress. I went to JC Penny and Macy's and came away empty handed (and usually in tears). It wasn't until I stumbled into the (now defunct) Lancaster Dress Company that I found the prom dress of my dreams. It was strapless and floor length and shimmery and blue, with a heart shaped bodice... I felt like Cinderella. I'd never felt so lovely in a dress before. It's a size 16, and in almost perfect condition (the only thing that's not perfect is that I used double-sided tape in the bodice, and it's still there, if no longer sticky).

Later, when I needed another formal dress, I found a beautiful dress at the same store that I called my "Titanic" dress, because it strongly resembles a dress that Rose wore in Titanic. It's a size 14W, but I'm a 16 and can wear it fine.

I'm asking for $200 dollars for the Cinderella dress (originally $350), and $100 for the Titanic dress (originally $250). The Cinderella dress comes with a nice little matching shawl with silver beads (a few of the beads have fallen off). Pictures below the cut! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
