GratefulGramma, I just have to say that you're the coolest Gramma EVER. I'm sure your granddaughter TOTALLY appreciates you!

Oh, that's so sweet! She and her family are all I have; I lost my son 4 1/2 years ago, and my husband 3 years ago. My extended family has always been prone to live "in each others' pockets" and my daughter is extremely gracious in letting me share her children. When the two girls got home from church camp last week, she brought the oldest one to me immediately. The youngest was sick with a cold, and wanted to go home, but ended up back over here the next day for the rest of the weekend.

Right now, my daughter is in the back part of my house on the treadmill, the youngest is upstairs playing on the Wii, and the oldest is watching recorded segments of "Criminal Minds" about 10 feet away from me.

Oh, argh! I called the actual store, they have TWO size mediums. BUT they won't take phone orders from the store and ship, anymore. I can't get to Athens. I guess I'll call their online division on Monday, and just pray that they will be restocking.

She did find a really cute white one for those "white-out" football games. We found one that looks absolutely the same to me at another online boutique, but she's afraid it isn't exactly the same. I kind of think it is.

This is the one that is in stock, different boutique http://www.southernflair.com/everly-...dress-magenta/

This is the one that is out of stock http://www.reddressboutique.com/dres...nic-berry.html

LOL....it looks the same to me too. Have her look at the necklines of both dresses-they look the same, as do the sleeves. And the manufacturer or the "style" of the dress is Everly for both dresses. I vote that you order the one from Southern flair-she can always send it back.

Just took a quick look thru the Southern Flair website-tell Granddaughter that they have many of the same dresses that Red Dress Boutique sells. I am impressed that you all found another one!

GratefulGramma 06-15-2013 03:10 PM

LOL...thank you, she accepted your opinion even though not mine. We have ordered the one from Southern Flair.

FSUZeta 06-15-2013 04:10 PM

Hooray!! I hope it fits well and looks just like it does in the photo!

GratefulGramma 06-15-2013 09:27 PM

Thanks, so do I. Southern Flair has already sent a shipping notice; I know it really won't be mailed out until Monday, but I am impressed.

FSUZeta 06-16-2013 09:29 AM

Well, you have to come back and tell us all about it, please!

That's how it works! ;) Just say "FSUZeta said" or "(insert GC member name here) said" or PM us and we'll post your opinion as ours and that will be that.

Played this game before. You gotta do what you gotta do. It's okay! :p

ETA that is a darling dress and I am now thinking about doing some shopping based on all the suggestions. And don't forget about Zulily. I have picked up some darling things very reasonably priced. But if you see it, BUY IT. The sales last about three days max and things sell out.

Cute!

GratefulGramma 06-19-2013 08:03 PM

Woo Hoo! The dress came in, and it's perfect! What could have been a long, miserable ordeal was made so much easier by coming here and asking for help.

I took a picture, here's the link for anybody who might be interested.

Thank you again, ladies!

WCsweet<3 06-19-2013 08:06 PM

That's super cute!

KDCat 06-19-2013 11:41 PM

Wow!

She's adorable.

It's cuter on her than on the model. Yet another reason for me to scratch my head at having models be 6 foot 20 instead of anything resembling normal height.

I'd have her wear it for awhile, sit on the floor, sit in a chair, etc. I'm concerned for it being a wrinkly mess and she doesn't want to be tugging on it or trying to steam it between every party.

barbino 06-20-2013 01:41 AM

Very, very cute-both your grandaughter and the dress!
