Many of you helped me try to choose a dress for my daughter, a week or so ago. I ended up bidding and winning one on Ebay, but it is just way too big in every way.
I don't know if I mis-took my daughter's measurements, or just was really, really hopeful. But this dress is so big, the amount of alterations would be crazy I think.
Anyway, there are 3 more dresses I am considering if I can find the funds again.
The measurements of my dd: 49 inches tall (so the 27 inch dress I got off Ebay was definitely too long). 26" waist, 26" chest. Don't know how to measure for sleeves, but the dress I got was listed as "21 inch sleeves". They were WAAAAYYY too long.
Here are the 3 dresses I'm considering. DD has dark blonde hair, medium-beige skin, and dark brown eyes. Which dress(es) seem like the best option(s)? Scared to try again, and eat shipping AGAIN!

http://www.emeraldkeyonline.com/servlet/Detail?no=385 (DH thinks this color won't do anything for dd, but neither of us is good at fashion!)

Please help me get this right this time! We'd wait to buy at a feis, but obvisously my dd will be hard to fit a dress to (her school dress is 25" long, with a 27" waist I guess).

- None of the above will fit. They will all be too big for your daughter. (NT) -- x, Tuesday, April 29, 08:56:10am
- Be warned that Emerald Key does NOT take returns. Sale are final, so make sure you are willing to deal with what you get. (NT) -- Reluctant shopper, Tuesday, April 29, 09:42:23am
- Another thing to consider is that the sequins and possibly the lace may feel rough to the touch. Did your daughter dislike certain textures or am I thinking of someone else? It is a lot to ask but I would also look for a dress that had 1 inch of let-out room on each side just to be safe. (NT) -- Mom, Tuesday, April 29, 10:08:35am
- my suggestion is for you to leave an email and those who make dresses could contact you directly-many of us are very willing to help (NT) -- need better way to contact, Tuesday, April 29, 10:26:12am

- OP here. My email inside..... -- op, Tuesday, April 29, 10:33:57am
- What about dress #410 on dance-again? It might be a bit snug in the waist. You could ask if there is any let-out. (more) -- LynnToledo, Tuesday, April 29, 12:40:07pm
- Is there a dressmaker in your school (perhaps who does your school dresses?) Or a local person that does Irish dance dress alterations that would help you measure your daughter and advise on what dress measurements you should look for. Even a very experienced dance Mom from your school could probably help. (NT) -- hope that helps, Wednesday, April 30, 10:40:59am
- be careful of X741 (NT) -- square holograms peel, Wednesday, April 30, 11:21:19am
