The Long and the Short of Dresses

The Long and the Short of Dresses

I’m confused. I just don’t get it.

Yesterday, we (Miss A and the bridesmaids) went shopping for bridesmaids dresses!  It was a l-o-n-g day and we went all over the city but returned home empty-handed. Now Miss A is not difficult to please. She has a colour range in mind and a fairly good idea of the style she wants- classic and elegant. They style in mind will look lovely on the bridesmaids as they are tall and slender.

So why is it so hard?

In summer I can buy long dresses- maxi style. Ankle length.

winter dresses

But in winter most of the dresses are short. What’s with that?

Are we really so odd for wanting a long dress in the colder months?

    Hmmmmmmmmm…….interesting development………maybe why people have to revert to getting them made! The cost though! Hmmm more searching required………one of the gals from church just ordered a Bridesmaid dress online???? Scarey?

    But the good news is, there will be other odd balls out there who will actually supply long dresses for colder weather! You’ll find them Susan – you gals are resourceful homeschooling gals!
