Well of course thrift shopping is not ...Fabric is not... BUT dress shopping for my son's wedding is !!! The problem is, as my girlfiends and I say, is that we don't dress like our Moms or Grannies...or like ........So, I have a date with my loving Sis to go to a fancy mall in Vancouver tomorrow and I am crabby ...Basically, I want a plain, pretty dress that doesn't look awful or costs too much!!! Plus of course I'm a larger size...+16....I'd rather spend less rather than more....So let me leave you with some of the dress images i found on the internet that are at least attractive..
I'll let you know what happens..I asked and no I can't wear my jeans LOL

Have fun shopping! I hope you find something that makes you feel absolutely gorgeous.
LOL. That sounds like me. I don't like to dress up either. Wishing you luck!
I am sure you will find a nice one! I like the first one, it seems like one you can wear over and over again and combine with all sorts of stuff! Enjoy shopping!
Enjoy shopping! I bet you'll find a great one. Thanks for visiting my blog today and your thoughtful comment. Looks like you have a fun blog here. I look forward to following you :)
I agree with you, I hate clothes shopping for myself. Also, am with Debby, I like the first one and think it would look pretty on you! Wrap dresses are so flattering too. Good luck and have fun.
Warmly,
Tracey

Darn... no jeans??? lol Those dresses are pretty! I just cant remember when the last time was I wore a dress. yikes!
Good luck on the shopping!
I know you'll find something wonderful and later will have good memories every time you look at the wedding photos!
Bettyann, these are all beautiful! I think any would be perfect for the wedding :) Cant wait to see what you choose!
Hugs,

May you find the perfect dress on sale no less!
I am peeking out of my turtle shell to say thank you for your kindness and support.
Oh I know the feeling! In today's styles it all seems like designs for the 20 something!!!
With the Canadian $ at par perhaps a trip to the states might be worth the time.I did just that when it was my time...selection far greater!
WOW...timing is everything. I am a size 16 too and while I was at a goodwill looking for "stuff", I moseyed over to the dresses outta curiosity and found a wonderful black and white wrap dress. I am going to a wedding in May and it would be perfect. Don't know what your body type is, but I'm an hour glass, so the wrap actually looks good on me. You might want a simple solid color sheath dress with a little print bolero jacket or sweater, so that in the future you can use them as separates. I'm sure you'll look divine whatever you choose especially if you go with someone to help you.
good luck...wanna see pics too.

You can never go wrong with a wrap style dress!
Love the fuschia one.
I saw the dress you DID get. Lovely!
