Buh-bye money...
Went grad dress hunting again today (and fetched my Fantasy Games manga order). AND ASDFGHJKLPOIUYTREWQZXCVM WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYY MUST I BE SO BIG? T___________T
I saw this BEAUTIFUL halterneck dress that had white background with painted light violet and pink here and there, not in floral patterns though, although the shapes resembled them. The fabric wasn't satin I think, but something like it... The breast parts had been sewed crumpled in straight vertical lines and then there was a... damn the word for being purple in English... not violet, but a dark pink-ish coloured wide "belt" that had been sewed the same way but horizontally (it was completely attached to the dress though so it was just a detail, not a real belt). And the hem just flowed so prettily...
AND OF COURSE MY SIZE HAS NEVER EVEN EXISTED WITH THAT DRESS, I asked a clerk to check if they had one size larger for me but the computer told her that no, they didn't T_____T I haz a SAD, it was PRETTEH!
So I bought two completely black dresses from two different stores, seeing as black ones were the only ones that fit me ok and didn't look ridiculous... (Yes I tried one completely pink one and one floral one and who remembers what more. They looked NU-UH on me...)
This one's from Halonen, where I saw that halterneck:

And the other dress is from a small-ish boutique located 50 meters away by the same road. It was pretty much by accident that I glanced at its window when I was making my way to Halonen from Fantasy Games and saw the "NEW [EVENING/GALA] DRESSES OF SIZES 32-50 NOW ON SALE" sign, I don't really look at shop windows that much when I'm headed somewhere...
After the halterneck at Halonen didn't fit (it was the last of about seven dresses that I tried on) I grabbed the dress you have a photo of above, and then a pretty traditional short-ish black graduation dress that had about 10-15 glass diamonds in a vertical line in between the breasts, and a scarf. Then I asked the clerk if they could hold them for me for today and for certain they could, so I headed to the boutique to see if they had something to make up for the halterneck.
And you know what? After having the halterneck not fit my chest at all, THIS BLACK DRESS FROM THE LITTLE BOUTIQUE FIT ME PERFECTLY EVERYWHERE. The clerk couldn't stop wondering about that aloud, as usually there are at least some small bits to take in and so on. But the only changes I'm having them do to it is sewing some glass diamonds and such on it, otherwise it would be too simple and plain (in my opinion, and that's what counts right?). It's kind of long for an upper secondary graduation dress though, but that's okay since I can use it elsewhere after graduation, and I like my dresses longer than knee-lenght anyway. It's about to the middle of my shin, traditional grad dresses can be as short as mid-thigh in some cases, usually they bare the knees at least.
I'll add a photo of it later on when I have it home~~~
So I headed back to Halonen and bought the scarf for the boutique dress, took the dress you have a photo of above, and ditched the traditional grad dress.
Pretty happy now, it's just... I spent so much money today in manga, clothes, bus trips, food and rent that it almost hurts x.x BUT I RECEIVED ACID BLACK CHERRY'S RECREATION 1 ALBUM AND JANNE DA ARC'S JOKER ALBUM TODAY TOO SO I HAZ A HAPPEH! ^______^
