That pattern is gorgeous. I bet you'll look great in it!

Ugh. The sleeve thing. I had a similar problem when I went looking for a prom dress. I wanted to get a dress that I could wear a bra underneath. But ALL of them were either sleeveless or backless or had inappropriately low necklines. I guess that's the style now; but we can't be the only people who still like to have sleeves on our fancy dresses!
In case you're wondering, I eventually borrowed a dress from the school's sewing teacher (her old students left behind some nice stuff!) XD
