I like this one (in black), this one (in black), and this one. The first and last ones are really awesome, and the second one is more "red carpet" - a little more formal, so wouldn't get as much use.

I hope to wear it at least a couple times before shrinking out of it. I'll be ordering their size 1, since it's a tad snug on me for now, so I'll get at least a few months from it. So, that might factor into not getting dress 2 as well - not sure when I'd wear a floor-length formal again in the near future.

Any thoughts?

I vote for #1. What story won this? Did I miss this? I wanna read it if you don't mind posting where it's at.

Kiyonna has a "12 Dresses for Christmas" contest on Facebook, where they post a new question each day, and select one reply as the winner.

Yesterday's question was:

What is the best gift you've ever re-gifted?

My reply:

I received a sculptured collectible plaque that depicted the birth of an orc from "Lord of the Rings". It was truly hideous and frightening. I re-gifted it to my new boyfriend for his birthday. He absolutely loved it, and I was happy to see it leave my home. Well, it ended back up in my home, since I ended up marrying him. It's now on our wall.

True story.

And, I'm also now thinking of this one in purple, since I've got the "assets" for it. Cinch dress.

I love gag gifts. Especially when you can give them anonymously.

Yeah, but I was honest about this one. Although, anonymous is a lot more evil and fun. It's how I roll.

1. That is the cutest story ever. Orcs are highly reprehensible and so hideous to behold; orc birthing sounds even more repulsive. But I don't remember ever seeing any female orcs, so maybe the depiction is more of a metamorphosis? Either way, no matter what this plaque looks like, it clearly deserves a place of honor on a wall of prominence in your home. I'd keep it over the bed if I were you. Best story I've heard in a long time.

2. Am I the only one who likes dress #2?

Hmmm...

They're all great choices. I nearly bought the retro glam lace dress myself, so I'll put in a vote for that, but I also like your other two choices.

I vote for #3.

I think you should chose this one or this one, however this one's not your type.
