YES

An actually good dress must fit at least three of these numbered points:

  1. my mom or relatives do not hate it

  2. rachel does not dislike it

    • is light blue, lavendar, or yellow

  3. Is under $400. or I get it quickly

  4. I and my friend group likes how it looks; I'd wear it later

    • I generally prefer: A lines, sleeves over broad straps over thin straps, skirts with folds/ridges/flare rather than hugging the legs,
      synthetic materials, timeless or futuristic aesthetics

    • I'm trans and I have broad shoulders

    • Here are my measurements: https://airtable.com/shrjj1h1Datnx54NV (just look at the last row.)

I went to a store today and found a dress that fits only 2 and 3, and a different dress that fits only only 1, 3, and half of 4.


Austin's wedding is on Friday. If I order from a place with 2 day shipping maybe it comes in time. But realistically it's probably gotta be from a place in SF I can go to.

I now have a dress that satisfies 1?, 2, 3, and half of 4 - it looks nice but it's not very comfortable. I'm thinking of trying a different dress today that I am much more likely to like, that my mom is slightly less likely to approve of.

@Sinclair my mom likes the dress (the first one, which i wore to the wedding) so this resolves YES

@Sinclair i got a lot of compliments from my and rachel’s relatives too hehe

Rooting for you but base rates are SO against you--good dresses just take time to find. If you find a dress that meets almost all the criteria but you don't like the neckline/shoulders, you can also get a pretty scarf to adjust the overall silhouette.

Do you believe in me? Did you arb against all the other stuff I have to do this week? Check out that post for markets to short, and details of a Ṁ10,000 bounty if you help me be a great bridesmaid at Rachel's wedding by helping me pick a dress or save time elsewhere this week.
