This dress stress that A and I have been dealing with all week has taken a toll. We are both cranky, irratible, on-edge and just flat-out tired.
When we chose this dress, with the help of the girls at the dress shop, I don't think that either of us even considered the dress to be the type to cause even the slighest controversy. Now it seems to be the center of our lives. Ridiculous. Honestly.
Herein lies the problem. The dress shows a very small amount of abdominal skin in a V pattern. The bottom of the V is at the top of A's belly button. And it is not a gaping V. I am her mother, for goodness sake, I would not let her go out in something that showed all of her "stuff" hanging out.
We are having the dress altered to include what is called a "modesty piece" so that the skin that you see in the V, will be covered. We are still having to jump through hoops. And it has become very tiring. I've seen way "worse" dresses being worn to the school dances, yet no one else has ever had to go through this scrutiny.
I am hoping that the whole dress issue is laid to rest today. Please hope for us that it is in a positive way.

Have you seen the other dresses? I would think adding the modesty piece would settle the issue, but I'm betting it will depend on who has what up their butt that day.
It's too bad you're having to deal with this.
I've not seen the other dresses for this particular dance. But I have seen many dresses for the other dances that my children have attended (prom, homecoming).
I'm hoping that the principal is a smart man and realizes what an uproar can come from him telling us "no" about this dress.
Inquiring minds want to know.... :)
