I was hoping to find something now since she will have to wear white at future initiation ceremonies. I did find a pair of bright white leather pumps in my closet with a short heel which I never wore before because they just seemed too stark of a white. I went over them with tan shoe polish and buffed the polish off. We are left with an off-white shoe. They are super comfortable since I only ever bought comfortable pumps for work and she has the same shoe size.
Problem solved. We will look for a new white dress and shoes in the spring or summer when they have a better selection.

That sounds like a great solution!

I'm glad it worked out for your daughter and you were able to help her pull something together. Funny you mention about finding a dress for later use. Ironically, I ended up wearing my initiation dress when my husband and I got married in Vegas, so I felt better knowing my dress served dual purpose for two very significant events in my life. I didn't wear my white heels though.

Glad to hear you were able to come up with a viable solution.

That's one helluva story! Good thing you were able to get help so quickly - with a hand or finger wound, immediate attention and repair is imperative or you risk losing function in that finger or hand.

No repair needed, fortunately. Had an EMT looking at it within 15 seconds and in the emergency room within 10 minutes. Had to replace all of the blindfolds though.
