Rivka Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The prom thread makes me feel compelled to post this picture of my kids and me at a homeschool "family dance." Incidentally, there was no dress code... and no one said a thing to me about my cleavage. All right, let's see your dressed-up pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Rivka, I want to see but I can't get my machine to load the picture. Bummer, stupid computer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivka Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Rivka, I want to see but I can't get my machine to load the picture. Well, in that case, Faith, let me assure you that I am drop-dead gorgeous. Supermodel quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Supermodel-no question...but how did you get a dress that matched the balloons?? Or did you get balloons to match the dress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Boo, I was going to post one of a turquoise dress I wore on our anniversary a few years ago that I was later criticized for wearing to a wedding - not one held in a particularly conservative church either - because it was "provocative". But, the jpeg is too big and being the technological ignoramus I am, I don't know how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This made me realize I don't think I've been truly dressed up since having children, and very rarely before that. DH and I got married at our new church (as we were not Christian when we married) after we were baptized last summer, but my dress was not "formal." I was in a friend's wedding when my second son was 6 months old, but I don't think I have any pictures from it. My first wedding, i wore the traditional dress. I went to prom even though I'd already left school by then (a friend who wasn't going bought tickets in her name and gave them to me). I do have pictures from that, but that was almost twenty years ago. just don't get really dressed up apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Okay, here is hoping this works. My brainiac son shrank it down. Just so you know, it was the V she objected to though nothing can be seen. The shape of the neckline, no matter what is showing or not showing was "bad". LOL The hem was about 3" below my knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got big breasts so I'm usually falling out of most v shaped necklines. But come on people use common sense. I love the color btw!

Now, I am dark chocolaty brown with soft, barely there red highlights...mahogany might be a good way of thinking about my hair color. The dress looks even better!

FaithManor Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Know what I did with the wrap? I coordinated a wedding this winter and at the last minute needed a spangle table runner for an unexpected table. Silver was one of the accent colors and I had it with me (two dresses to choose from in my hanging bag) so I tossed it on the table. Looked great! LOL, had to wear the other dress that the wrap would not have worked with but still it all came together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't just click on the quick window because that doesn't allow attachments. You have to go to the top of the thread and click on the black button. Type what you want for a caption. Click on "attachments" which will be below the post window, and then you'll browse through the pics on your desktop or tablet. When you click on the pic you want and hit open, it will automatically attach if it's not too big of a file. My son had to crop and resize mine because it took up more than the allowed memory.

swellmomma Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This is the last time I was really dolled up. 6 years and 40+ lbs ago, ready to go out to watch Love according to John. I felt this dress showed a little too much cleavage so I safety pinned it closed, you can see a bit of the pin but I figured you could see less of the pin than of my cleavage so it was good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 At oldest dd's wedding with my girls and grandson (pg dd in pic's firstborn). This is about as good as it gets these days.
