... I want another opinion. Usually I'm fearless in online shopping, but this one will be custom-made for me. They accept returns, but what will they do with it? And I really want to like it, so I'll probably talk myself into it even if it's not the best.

Doubts, with my internal responses.

- Gathered waist makes my hips look square. [But it's long and flowy, and jersey, which should act differently than crisp cotton!]
- I haven't worn teal in forever, and I'm not sure it's my favorite. Was that itchy sweater as good a color as I thought? [Yes, it was. And it made your hair look red, which is fun. Teal just hasn't been in stores much.]
- Mom isn't sure it's a flattering design, at least on the model. [You have more of a waist than the model does, and the stripe layout is AMAZING.]
- No front slit like the other maxi. [Well, you can't have everything.]
- Would the yellow version be better after all? [Who knows? And it's been out of stock for 2 weeks and counting.]

Pluses:

- Love the stripes. Love the design. LOVE THEM TOGETHER.
- Full-skirt maxi with waistline = comfortable, casual dress with the feel of a BALLGOWN and it's AWESOME.
- I cannot stop thinking about it. Good sign of future regret if I don't try it.
