Oh, I totally agree, I'm just saying that, in my chapter, everyone would have pulled out their godawful initiation dresses, and the advisors would have really had to throw down.

We asked women to show us their outfits in April, so there was ample time to fix any issues before fall rush.

A few I've been working on:

Black, white, and blue to bring this back to the top to replace some spam!

I really like the sleeved dresses you posted in this one--any chance you still have info on the brands/models? I'm playing in a classical piano duo on a cruise ship this fall and will need some cute concert-black dresses that don't show too much! (It's really hard to shop around here so I'm relying on Ebay mostly...)

The rest of the outfits are generally cute, but I might be careful about things like the brightly colored bottoms, khaki skirts, etc--these are really unflattering on my own, fairly common body type (not that I'm overweight; I just have proportionally heavy legs) and if I were determining the dress codes, I'd want to make sure everything would work well on the majority of body shapes. It does seem that a lot of the trends from the past 5 years or so work better on those with skinny legs, but a bit of a belly, so it might take a little more work to find cute items for those of us not built like that :p Great ideas though!
