I pled for help…and help is what I received! (That and a TON of laughs! HOLY COW are you gals are a hoot and a half!) 
Well, the tribe has voted…and, by a landslide #3 won! I returned tonight from our weekend away in the West Virginian mountains very eager to report to bride Stacey your vote. Stacey will order all the bridesmaids dresses in one swoop this February so we can get a 15% discount.
Yes, she was cracking up that I asked for you to vote. But not surprised…she knows the loon that she’s dealing with!
Well, so far, bridesmaid Christina picked the one shouldered dress, but bridesmaid Wendy also picked #3. So I defaulted to the runner up, #1. And, for your viewing “pleasure” (cough, cough…), I contacted the dress designer, got a whole bunch of spanx, and “the couch”. This picture is just for you lovelies that took the time to cast your vote…
Okay, so maybe, just maybe, I took a couple of artistic liberties…
But I did give Stacey fair enough warning. I told her that a real pic will be posted, with her, right here…after her August wedding! And WOW is her dress gorgeous!
So after my dress is shipped to me, poor Bella has the daunting task to help me get “the girls” lined up (and I do mean UP) and the rest of me as flat as humanly possibly.
Spanx…Gods speed to ya. 
Which inappropriately (or appropriately) reminds me of an email that I received moments before typing this post. Maya Angelou spoke about growing older and her body changes. She brought up her “girls” and that, “They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.”
Dr. Angelou, are you free to shop with Bella and I next month some time? 
steph- this is so totally you! and although it is hilarious as you posted it, you will look fabulous in it! you managed to put a humorous twist on something that can be really stressful! Good for you.
Steph, you are HILARIOUS!!! I love you! and I say you wear your hair up the next time you put on the dress … hahahaha!
so can you leave a big hem on the bottom so I can borrow it sometime when I get as small as you—and I am assuming that black is the actual color, right? glad this one was picked–I think it will be very flattering to whoever wears it!
spanx, huh? (sounds a little kinky!) I’m not sure it could do a whole lot more for me than accentuate the rolls. But at least they’d look like TIGHT rolls!

Love it! Spanx is a little cheaper at Nordstrom Rack and also target has a line of the same thing. Let me know if addie (or I) could lend a fashion hand!

I missed the vote! But that’s a great dress! And mocha color will look great.
