Can't sleep, still.  Blog really does come in handy since I can't seem to catch you online anymore!  God, I wanted to document this to show HOW CLOSE I was to getting that yellow maxi (see Hayden Panettiere post (linked)) . . . but this is prob too big.  Although, I do like how this is double layered -- since the dress is a solid, lighter color, the double layer should prevent any panty-viewing.

And, the overarching question remains:  do I REALLY need another maxi?!

A -- 4/3/11: Aww…is this alterable at all?  I know how it feels to come SOCLOSE to the exact thing you've wanted for so long but have it be just slightly the wrong wize (see: my earlier Ella Moss post.)  It's such a good price…wwtgd? (whatwouldtimgunndo -- makeitwork!)

T, 4/3/11:  Ended with no bids, relisted for same.  Boo.

T, 4/4/11:  Ahh, seller lowered starting bid to $9.99!  Too bad s&h is still so high.  I'm gonna guess altering will be around $40ish, and even getting it to a tailor will be a bitch unto itself, given my hrs . . . sigh.  Dunno why I still want a yellow one so much, since I already have a cream, which is practically yellow.  What to do. 

T, 4/11/11:  Ended with 1 bid, $9.99.

First came across Miguelina at c21.  Tried on an xs maxi in a neon yellow; it was extremely well priced.  Fit well, but looked funny because straps were wide and it had a weird doily/lacy bib, I think.  Google'd brand later and realized it was high end -- meaning, dum dum dum -- must have!

Emailed seller for measurements, and seller replied:  "bust-36", waist-32" without stretching empire waist under bust, hips-crinkle gauze hips can stretch to 52", total length from top of strap to hem-55."

This won't work.

Ugh, we both know my search for the perfect yellow maxi has been long and arduous (that's what she said), ever since I laid eyes on Hayden Panettiere back in 2007 in her yellow Sweetees "Adalia" (was $147 at shopintuition.com; to be distinguished from the Gypsy 05 mustard maxi, which every other celeb has also worn and, btw, does not freaking fit me!!!):

My gawd, have I really been searching for 3 years?!  Measurements aside, Brigit kind of looks like the poorman's version of Adalia, huh . . . damn.

A -- 2/16/11: BIG FAT NO!!  I understand ur search for  a yellow maxi, but THIS IS NOT IT.  Everything about it is so gross -- the color, the neckline, the weird tie, the cheaplooking straps.  Shitty quality plus shitty construction equals -- waitfor it -- SHITTY!
