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.

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!

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.

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! 
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.

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!

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.
