I HAVE A DRESS!!!

We (Mom, oldest sister and I ) went to Bridal Reflections in Carle Place today and had a WONDERFUL experience there. I walked in and told our salesperson (Maddy) that I needed a dress to cover the tattoo between my shoulder blades (see pic below). I was very limited in my choices. Most of what she brought was very classy and elegant straight and not poofy. She knew my style without me having to tell her. My guess is that she saw my age and knew I wasn't looking for excessive fabric. So just when we gave up hope(because of the tattoo issue), Maddy brings out this dress with an asymmetrical back and I asked her 'Is that a Romona Keveza? I saw it online and loved it and it meets my needs but didn't think it would look good.' She confirmed my suspicion and I tried it on. I knew right away as did my mom and my sister. I am very excited. I got the dress I wanted!

PICS:
#1 My tattoo
#2 The dress to cover it

OY the issues. Again, I dont regret having a tattoo but I know my FMIL doesnt like them and Id rather not see or hear her (or her family) pointing and bi*ching about it all night. In fact when we first met, she saw the tattoo and said to FH: 'What do you think about her tattoo?' which to me meant 'I dont like them,' 'Who is this crazy girl my son is dating?' or 'Couldn't he do better?' She is judgemental whether she would admit it or not.

Though I'll be honest, I would have picked a dress like this anyway. Tattoo or NO tattoo.
