*Want in on the action?  Details of the contest at the end of the post.

I was very excited when I got a pretty red package in the mail two weeks ago.  It was the wrap dress from Katy over at A Life Fulfilled.  I immediately knew which (public) event I’d be wearing this magic garment.  A friend of mine and my sister’s has been living in New Zealand since September and is back home in the ATL for a few weeks.  A BBQ was thrown in his honor for his (temporary) homecoming two weekends ago.

Prior to the BBQ, I did watch (part of) the instructional DVD.  The DVD shows a cute Indian girl displaying each of the 1 billion possiblities of how to wear this dress/skirt.  This video was looooong and to her credit, the model/actress who displayed the options never once quit smiling.  Katy, you were right – much harder than they looked.  As you can see with how I opted to wear the dress, I chose an “easy” option, but it really was the most flattering for me.

 

 

It was fun to twirl.

Believe it or not, I actually got a lot of compliments on my muu muu version of the dress.  The girls were much more intrigued once I told them how I got the dress and that the dress can be worn a million and one different ways.  Katy, they wanted the dress.  I told them that you got it on ebay.  My sis wants one for her birthday and I found them at etrendy_ethnic store on ebay (I think this is where Katy got the one I’m wearing).

So who’s next?  The rules are simple, if you win the drawing, I will send you the dress and the instructional DVD and you just have to wear the dress in public and supply photographic evidence on your blog and continue the contest by offering your readers a chance to  sport the magic dress.  If you want in, just leave me a note in the comments section and I’ll pick the lucky recipient on Friday.  Since only 3 people read my blog, MB, I’m sending it to you if I don’t get any entries
