Dress shopping is a saga which rivals that of bathing suits and pancakes.

I ordered "the strapless wonder" from cybergown.com last Monday. Yesterday I recieved a very different dress. Instead of the silver-blue beaded slink of a dress I have a toille a-line bedecked with Effiel Towers. And a matching scarf. Not only was it not the right dress, but it was two sizes too small. Three cheers for online purchasing.

So after I called customer service and found out that not only was my orignal dress out of stock, but I would have to pay for shipping and handling back to Cali and a new, more expensive dress, ect. So the dress just hung in my dining room.

After completely loosing my faith in the internet, I went to the mall with Cait, armed with mom's Filene's charge card and a note authorizing me to use it. After a fierce customer service director/store clerk battle at Filene's, I came out with a Cinderella-blue strapless wonder that I'm madly in love with. Then I went to JC Pennys and bought the pink, backless, dress that I was also in love with. So, $252.29 later, I had three lovely prom dresses hanging in my home.

Odly enough, the dress that was shipped to me from Cybergown is the same dress Caity has been lusting over the past few weeks.
