What is happening to formals???

   I really hope whoever said "less is more" wasn't thinking about formal dresses. I suppose literally, yes it's true here. Less fabric = more skin. They're everywhere, and that's part of what makes it so difficult. You can't find a dress that is longer than mid-thigh if you're lucky. These dresses are uncomfortable. You can barely move for fear of exposing all your secrets to the world. Busting moves is not an option. They're itchy, not made for women with curves (no bra, really?) and they cost an arm and a leg, give or take a toe. Glitter is on most of them. This glitter will get everywhere. Ironic they call it the herpes of craft supplies... Oh yes and another thing, if the dress has any poofy stuff, short or long, going to the ladies room is going to be an adventure that is completely inconvenient.
   Thankfully, I'm past that stage, but I can't help but feel sorry for the girls that have a dress code (either self-imposed, or by higher powers) and 95% of the options out there will not fit it. Bonus points for the ugly sack dresses that are much more covering, and OH so much more ugly... I don't understand at all, and I despair for the fashion industry. I think it's gonna get worse... Dang it.
