Well i tried and sent these dresses back....

Anthropologie
It was cute, but not cute enough. Despite having a tie in the back it needed more waist definition, best i think with a large belt. Twirled good though.

Nordstrom
Not cute at all. I looked like i was wearing an ill-fitting curtain.

And arriving today..... (not holding my breath but it is sooo cute in the picture)

Nordstrom

Well both dresses have arrived
Option 1: do-able
Option 2: less then attractive

and after a visit to the chiropractor this morning i am more or less mobile again
YAY!
