Going to a wedding in 3 weeks
Wanted to wear a dress I have in the closet but doubtful it will fit me now.

I looked on Nordstrom's website. Only place I see nice dresses. L&T have the same ones, usually. May got there instead.

Which do you like? The wedding is in Ireland - I think pants outfit is OK there.

**Update** The outfit we all loved IS PETITE only. Nordstrom made a mistake on their website. Thankfully they called me first.

I'm 5'5'...maybe 5'6' normally (ie: w/o heels). I don't think that a petite would make it for me.

**UPdate again** I called NOrdstrom and the man said that petite fits up to 5'5'. So...I'm going to try it anyway. I can return to a Nordstrom store if it doesn't fit. Maybe I can have the hem let out a bit if it is too short. I *really* like the outfit.

So here's one more dress I found. I really didn't want to go to a store (I ordered the outfit online) but I think I'm going to have to now because I don't see anything online I like.

If anyone can find (if you have time of course) another poncho/pants set for a dressy occassion in a size 20W I'd appreciate if you can post or let me know.

I see you changed the order of the outfits. I still love #2, the old #1, but I also like the new #1. They are both very nice.

Have you been to Lane Bryant lately? I was there on Saturday and they had a dress poncho set. I also was at Dress Barn Women last week and found a really nice dressy pants outfit, the top wasn't a poncho - but very nice.

I think this is pretty and easy to match up. All you need is a black top and black pants. You can get a lot of use out of it.http://lanebryant.charmingshoppes.com/Shopping/product.asp?product_id=L1005149&nav=L1

I didn't mean to change them but it's just that I was told that the one we all like (now #2) was a petite size only. But I'm still going to order it. If worse comes to worse, I'll buy another pair of pants to wear with it.

I'm not crazy about #1. I'm not into dresses that show my legs, lately.
