My wife and I were invited to a large annual holiday bash at a good and very wealthy, and prominent family friend’s mansion for New Year’s Eve. This means that I had to rent a tux and she needed a new designer formal dress. So we started shopping around online for designer formal dresses and found a few great stores. Unlike tux rentals, which are relatively inexpensive, renting designer formal dresses is far costlier. So we decided that if we really shopped around and found some great sales on designer formal dresses, we could get one for her that would work great for many future formal occasions. That’s exactly what we have done. She knows her sizes really well, so that part was easy. In fact, shopping for the designer formal dress online was rather a good time for my wife. She called her sister over and it was like a day at the mall. Except they didn’t have to drive anywhere, and they found a much better deal on the designer formal dress that she wanted while watching their favorite TV shows in meanwhile!
