Ballgowns and Ann Arbor do not go together, but yes, believe it or not, we are being taken to two formal events in the next two months--Red Cross Ball and St. Joseph Holiday Ball, and then optimistically, the Presidential Inaugural Ball in January. My standby is my St. John Knit long skirt and 2-3 elegant jackets. These jackets are beautiful and special, but not too memorable. Unless I want to wear a teen homecoming dress, my other options are "0".
Here are few pictures from the St. Joe Ball last Dec. The theme was Casablanca and we raised $600,000. This year the theme is Winter Wonderland and our goal is $1million. I have the honor of being the Bathroom (Lounge) Decorating Chair--actually is really a big deal--really. We have to transform sports arena bathrooms into a place that people spending $1250 a couple would find fitting. If you have any thoughts, I would really appreciate it.
Below are some pictures of the 2007 Ball where we created Rick's Cafe with Turkish Coffee,etc.
This is a basketball arena at Eastern Michigan University.

What fun!! Ball gowns are often tough to find, but I know you will be able to find far to many once you start looking. If you email me I can try and help you with bathroom ideas!!!
Hopefully we can have some wonderful discussions about Mad Men - esp. Don Draper ;)
I couldn't wear it b/c it's silk, but I love this look from RL:

Did you look while you were shopping in Chicago?
Thanks Mom X 2 (3) and Preppy Vegan. I did look while I was in Chicago but very little. Not sure what I need--and sometimes I just have trouble focusing. Love the RL!
I am living vicariously through you! I want to see what you wear!
