Haven't read other responses, but I'd bring it to my dry-cleaner and have them sew on straps. If there's enough fabric at the hem, very thin strips can be cut to make straps that match the dress perfectly!

:bigear: I have a similar problem with ds. Unless we have a planned activity outside the house, which he willingly joins, he's glued to his computer. Seems like a common theme with this age group, though that's not to say it's normal.

A similar thing happened in a class I'm taking at a community college... The professor was illustrating a point using 9/11 as an example, then she realized most of the class was less than five years old when it happened.

I wish I had given my kids more grace. For example, I recently learned that if I take my teen to Starbucks for an iced tea, or if I surprise her by getting it while I'm out and bring it home, she's so happy and thankful that her most dreaded schoolwork gets done a bit faster and with much less complaining.
