great news re my 50s vintage party dress



I scored this dress from The Salvos last year, but it's the tiniest
 bit tight at the bust. I was showing the mother-in-law and she said that
the last owner had taken it in and it could easily be let out, so she's going
to alter it for me in the next couple of days. I'm SO EXCITED. I thought
I'd never get to wear it, but it was so pretty I couldn't pass it up.
Oh, and it only set me back $20. I know! Happy Porkchop.
