"yes" to the dress

Okay, we haven't set a date yet. Fiance and I have talked about it, and we even fell in love with an old hotel in downtown Flagstaff, and put it down as a maybe for location.

Our theme is vintage/west. We're not doing redneck west, but he'll be doing the cowboy look. Me, I've been looking at late 1800's dresses, and have some ideas. But buying a real vintage dress is probably not an option, because anything affordable looks like my grandfather's baptism gown that's about to fall apart with the slightest tug. But maybe getting something made is doable. I have pictures of things I am looking for.

Corset top - a must.

Long sleeves - probably.

Skirt - not too poofy. A small bustle might work, but I don't want to be taking out children along the way.

Neck - high collar can be done nice.

But I'm so uninspired that I'm not making appointments with dress makers yet.

need birthday date

My dad's giving me a birthday present that's nice, but it's not ideal.

I got two spring training tickets for the Cubs a couple days before my birthday.

On a Thursday afternoon.

Fiance is in school all day Thursday (until 7 PM). So hopefully I can find someone that can also get off work and go with me.
