My Modus Operendi when buying a dress for my children’s’ weddings seems to be: buy something that is adequate first to make sure I have SOMETHING; then go out and find something I REALLY like. With 2 weeks left before my son’s wedding I wasn’t sure I would get to the second part. But I ended up with a few spare hours this afternoon. This Komarov dress seems like a miracle. Von Maur had it on clearance (final sale). A $345 dress for $79! And it is very forgiving to my very imperfect figure.
