I have been looking (but not terribly hard) - please don't bother yourself to look for me. :) But thank you so much - you are a total dear.<br /><br />Thanks, Sher! Lingerie doesn't count in my ban, so I've been keeping an eye out for a slip (admittedly, not looking THAT hard). Enjoy the books!

Bummer that you haven't found one that would work for you. Probably would be better than the brown idea, I guess I was thinking a similar brown as the bronze just a touch darker to make it stand out. Strappy sandals would be very cute with it too. I do like the odd combo and light weight with heavy, feminine with a Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447252967846432732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4115841618725638085.post-47673191779111403402009-05-19T10:17:00.000-07:002009-05-19T10:17:00.000-07:00such a beautiful dress!

If you aren't put off by thrift store slips and want to tell me your size, I am happy to keep my eye out for you.

I use a large cooking pot, fill it a little more than 1/2 way with hot water, then add only about 1/2 of the dye mixture to the pot. (I find that using all of the dye makes the dye too strong and I get bright colors, which I don't want for my slips) It takes almost no time at all for the slips to soak up the dye.

They are hard to find, and yes, I have been haunting the thrift shops. You'd think that with all the dresses out now that lingerie shops would catch up, but no.<br /><br />Alison, there's no brown in it, so I probably wouldn't do that (and I loathe leggings).

May I suggest buying a full slip and then dying it a color that you woulld like to wear under the dress, like the color of your tank maybe? That way you get full coverage that is still pretty enough to peek out the top of the V-neck.<br /><br />I just dyed some pretty slips that I got at Goodwill.

Maybe something in a darker tone of brown. Or, cami and legging the same darker brown. I think in summer I'd go with a short capri legging or maybe with the Fluevog boots.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447252967846432732noreply@blogger.com
