Mary Chris, the organza skirt set is beautiful! (fawn colour) and would look goregeous with a nice, lacy camisole under the top to add a little flourish and bring up the neck line.

Mary Chris, I love the skirt and the faux two piece. I wish I could have shopped, but we were clearing the old house.

I love them all, but the stripe one is my favorite. You'd look great in any of them! Wish I were closer for some shopping with you - that would be fun! Good luck, Mary Chris!

I decided not to order the wrap from Modest World, I was worried about shipping. I went to Nordstrom and found that the dressed online are not available in the stores . I did find a lovely long black skirt and a beautiful top in "Lipstick", a kind of coral color. The top is a lot like the the top on the Organza skirt set. I will post pictures when the board opens up again. I can't wait to see dh and Carter in their tuxedoes!

Thank you all for the input! Now to get a haircut and manicure.

Yeah, I'm glad you found something. It sounds scruptiously beautiful, and I'm sure you'll be glowing. Can't wait to see the pictures with the family all dressed to the nines!

Mary Chris,

That top was beautiful, it had a lovely shimmer where different subtle shades of red and orange and light could be seen - you looked simply lovely!

Mary Chris DID look beautiful that evening. (I know because we hosted Carter's brother and sister here that night.)
