While Bugs and I were talking today, prom got brought up. I laughed and said she should see my prom dress. When I brought it out of my closet, she laughed. I don't blame her it is huge and a little embarrassing now that I think of it. Actually, Dave laughs at me all the time. Tells me I was a big peach poof ball. My defense is this: I lived in Gunnison and the only dress shop in town had huge dresses with lots of ruffles. As you all should know, this is my two way dream. Either I am going to be a princess one day or I will live on a plantation and wear big puffy dresses all day every day. They won't be peach and have a a gazillion ruffles, but they will be huge.
Anyway, once the girls saw it they all had to try it on. I just took a pic of Cait in it. I still love it and it's beautiful. Laugh it up if you want to, but I loved feeling like a princess for a day.
And as you can see I was not the only one that wore such a huge dress. These two lovelies were my best friends in high school and this ad for the dress shop was in the County Fair Magazine.

this is what i missed today?!?!? darn it!
you rock!!! I'm so glad that I have a friend like you! One I can laugh at, I mean with, or whatever. It was fun, thanks!!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a pretty princess dress in your closet that you take out and swish around in every once in a while. Why DID swishy dresses go out of style? Maybe we could give them a come-back?
My favorite part about that is when my mom and I came over and you were walking around in your hoop skirt, so you could "practice". Hahaha you're a dork cousin and I love you.
I'm getting old....I'm starting to become quite fond of fluffy, shimmery, shiney, poofy things! I need an overhaul I guess! Lol! I think it's actually quite pretty! My advise to you is to SAVE IT! It's amazing how things come back in style! Maybe in a hundred years.....just kidding. :)
