Lisa, I'm so sorry for your loss -- that is horribly sudden and enough to throw anyone into a tizzy. I am sure we've all had those days when the dress we imagine could help to soothe our sadness and stress. And then it frustratingly won't appear. As for the Bay, don't get me started. I don't even go there any more except to make the occasional return from something I have ordered from their (almost equally horrid) online "shopping experience." Granted, our Bay must be one of the worst in Canada and even Winnipeg's is probably better, but still. I know exactly what you mean about that factory of sheath dresses.
I say order that EF dress from Nordics for next time. It's on sale, no duty, and why not?
Meanwhile, I suspect Cheryle is right -- you look far more beautiful than you feel and what we'd see is probably gorgeous.
I do have a friend who had a breast reduction and it helped her self image enormously. I have another friend who had augmentation. And I have other friends who are the sizes that both friends were to begin with and who are leaving things as they are and feel fine about it. A very personal decision.
