From the mind of Liz

ramblings of a burnt out mom

Hello ladies! I am in need of an evening gown in size 14~16 to wear to a military formal this friday! I know its short notice but I just found out about it! My hubby is required to go but I dont have a single thing to wear and we are tight on money, and since tickets to the event are 30 bucks, well, im looking for something nice but cheap.....or even if someone would be willing to let me borrow the dress just for the eveing and I would dry clean it before returning it!

If anyone can help that would be awesome! Im in Rockville, Md.

Thanks so much

Liz :)

Thanks guys for all the helpful suggestions......I actually did post an ad on craigslist and I had a lady contact me that was only 5 min. away from me and offered to give me a gown! I was so shocked I couldnt see straight! She is a navy wife and said she just has too many and this gown is only like a month old......its very very pretty! I just cant believe she gave it to me......im still sometimes amazed at the kindness of some people, I wish more were like her!

Thanks again you two!
