Ha ha, I clicked on this thread to see just how quickly some jealous mom would react to OP in disgust. You pulled the trigger even more quickly than I thought!

I still remember the parents' formal at our daughter's sorority. It was very nice. As I recall, it was black tie? One of the sisters came from a billionaire family with well known parents and they actually showed up. We got to meet them. It was interesting! No harm done at all.

That was UVA, btw.

If it floats your boat, sounds great! The other poster suggesting people are jealous, hmm...maybe not? I am always interested when people jump to that as the reason for a reaction. Pretty self-serving usually.

Try Neiman Marcus.

There are fewer and fewer reasons to get dolled up and celebrate, why not get together with your daughter and her friends to have a good time.

Bloomingdale's and saks have better options than Nordstrom these days. Tuckernuck might also work for you. Rent the runway is also good if you are confident in your size for a certain brand.
