…fromMaree.  Thank you! After several days agonizing and several attempts at making something that actually fits me and total frustration,  DH and I made a last ditch shopping trip and found a gorgeous 2 piece floor length taffeta dress at Dillards.  Fit was decent, but neckline of the jacket was a bit low for my taste and comfort, and the invisible zipper was poorly finished at the end and formed a bulge (probably why the price was reduced from $170 to $60!).   Waist a bit loose, but elastic.  I decided I would be able to fix...
