Prom Dresses

On the weekend, I met my friend S for a walk. She wanted to see the new selection of prom dresses at the boutiques on Main Street. There were a couple of girls trying shorter length dresses on in one store. We enjoyed the fashion show and gave our recommendations. One of the girls fell in love with this designer creation that seemed to be made for her. 'Tony Bowls' and 'Jovani' seem to be the hot designer names these days. S thinks 'Alfred Sung' is a bit 'passe'. The saleslady said Miss World had been into the store the previous day and bought a dress. Apparently she's 6ft 2inches tall.

I recently ordered 3 items from Amazon, 2 of which arrived last Wednesday. So now I'm worried about the 3rd one because it was shipped at the same time. I've never had that problem before.

Did you receive a confirmation on your orders through email? If so, you can go in & check on them. I had to email once, because part of an order hadn't arrived. Turned out it was on backorder. Good luck!

Japra, these dresses aren't cheap, they run around $300-500 Cdn Dollars.

LadyCat, I'm going to wait until Friday and then email them. I had an email saying it was shipped Feb 8th. I just have a bad feeling...

I was watching the 60 mins thing with the Bloom Energy and the guy was very persuasive about using their product. If you are trying to be as green as possible it does seem to be the way to go

Prom dresses :-) It seems like it was a hundred years ago that I went to my prom-- But I remember how fun dress shopping was.

Hope your 3rd purchase arrives.

Cheers,

Don't worry about your Amazon shipment. They regularly split shipments....things get shipped from different warehouses.

Amazon, lots of stuff to shop. Hope the third item arrive soon.
