New Clothes - Including An Anniversary Dress!

[Fierce Critter]

On May 4, there is going to be a celebration at my parents' church of all landmark anniversaries for people for the year. We're celebrating out 10th this year, so we're going to renew our vows at the mass. I wanted to get a new dress to wear for the occasion, so I went HolyClothing shopping on eBay again.

I was really surprised to see they have a gown they push as a "Romeo & Juliet" wedding gown. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with the silver color it comes in, but it turns out that the color for the 10th anniversary is silver, and the traditional gifts are tin or aluminum. So it turns out it's very, very fitting. So I made a "best offer" of $20 on it and it was accepted:

I also purchased a couple mini-dresses that I'll actually wear as tank/tunics. I got the blue one for $18.00, and the red one for $22.00:

I love online clothes shopping. SOOOO beats the crap they're pushing in plus-sized stores around here these days.

Very pretty! I'm planning to get a couple of those pixie-hem tunic/minidresses for summer.

I LOVE Holyclothing. Their prices are unbeatable for the quality you get. So often that Indian-made rayon frays out at the seams after a few months of washing/wearing, but I have HolyClothing tops that still look great after 5 or 6 years of workday wear. At one point a couple years ago I took a HolyClothing inventory in my closet and found:

8 skirts

6 tops

3 dresses

1 pair of pants

and oh yeah, how could I forget my groovy quilted coat which has lasted through 4 winters of regular wear!

I just wish they didn't make their skirts quite so long- especially the ones with fancy hemlines that can't easily be shortened by someone who's not a professional seamstress. I have 2 or 3 that are just plain too long for me now that I don't have as much extra padding around the hips to take up the extra length!
