Oh, and for you English people: dressangst!
Plan A didn't work, because it didn't really go with the dresscode.
Plan B was still-born because what my mother sees as a pretty dress, I see as a spaghetti-strapped nightie that looks cheap, fugly and beyond redemption by anything smaller than reincarnation.
Plan C fell through because I am not paying 1500 kr for a generic dress that I am not in love with and will not wear more than twice.
Plan D was a fail because of size differences and because see Plan E.
Plan E would have been a good idea if I had time to go second-hand shopping, but I don't.
Plan F sounded excellent in theory, but turned out not to be because see Plan D, Dress > Tanja.
Plan G 9 from Outer Space is brilliant in it's simplicity, will save Stangel from a hysterical fit to take care of, and looks seriously sophisticated.
Or else I'll just go for Plan A.
