Prom dress.
7 May 2021 21:16Linnea's going to prom next week. I'm in Bend. She found a dress at Macy's online.
I checked it out, make sure it was available for pickup and put in the order.
Only to find out that, despite the fact that it said "same day pickup" on one page, it was 9 days out when I tried to order. That piece of info showed up at the very last page.
My sister, who was in on this whole text exchange while waiting for my mom to be taken back for her biopsy (went ok, no results for a bit), jumped in, ordered the dresses in the two potential sizes and with her Macy's card was offered the option of same day delivery for one for $5 and expedited delivery for the other for $10. She got them ordered. I don't know why that option never showed up for me, but of course I was checking out via PayPal not with an account.
Anyhow, dh came home from trains this evening to find a dress hanging at the front door, LOL. It's the larger of the two, and it's a bit big but will work if the other one doesn't show up.
She posed in it. Check out those shoulders and biceps! :)


Next up: shoes. Which can be a PITA because she's in a size that is the edge condition between children's and women's and that nobody appears to bother making.
