Marilyn, I found a few things in my closet! Some were my sisters dresses too, so there are a few options. When do you need them? Should we plan a fashion show sometime soon? It's even better than shopping - NO florescent lights! 
I'm not sure I am that much smaller than you, Marilyn!

Oh, my!
My 18-yr-old dd must figure I'm a lost cause.  But she does have lots to say about how her 10 and 6 yr old sisters dress (ie: how "I" dress them).
I try to tell her that "they" dress themselves. Then I remind her of the Farmer Brown cover-alls and yellow boots she use to wear all the time.
Oh, well. One day she'll understand.

I love Laura Ashley! I still have one of the dresses that I bought there years ago. My dd doesn't like it nor does she like the clothes there (there is a shop in a nearby town). They are "old lady" clothes.
She is in a phase where all she wears are jeans except to church, of course. And she protests over that as well. 
But she does help me to look smart!

Silk Skirt $19.95
I guess a 6P would be too big, huh? I was buying a gift here today and saw this while browsing the outlet area--I figured for such a steal, you might know someone who could alter it for you!

You are guys are really awesome - I just got in after most of the day out - and all these responses! You rock!
Fuzzy I will email you later tonight - thank you so much.
And to all of you for your tips and advice.
And where else would I find people who understand that shopping can be stressful because of the fluorescent lights - seriously - those lights highlight every flaw in my skin and everything - I dislike them!!!

I now have two beautiful dresses to choose from - thanks to my friends Fuzzy and Jenn. Jenn hosted the fashion show and Fuzzy's dresses fit perfectly (I may have to hold my tummy in bit!). Thank you my friends - I actually felt quite glamorous (well except for my Catholic school knee high socks  )
If I am feeling brave I will post a picture of dh (in tuxedo) and me in the chosen dress when we go to our dinner in a couple of weeks.

Oh, Marilyn, you must post photos. I've been wondering what you were going to wear. We must live vicariously through our more glamorous members.
