I saw this dress at Neiman-Marcus in Boca Raton Town Center mall in
January, I tried it on, but took the wrong size into the dressing room (along with a few other pieces). The "sales" woman never once came to check on me. I was with my mom and 2-year-old son, and were on our way to the beach, so I didn't look like I was in the bucks. So, I left and went to the Nicole Miller store to try it on, and maybe buy it there. I decided against, it, and thought I would wait and see if it would go on sale. So, I went back to Nicole Miller at Town Center a couple weeks ago when above-mentioned baby and I were again visiting for a thaw-out. It wasn't on sale, but the manager offered me a 10% discount. She was VERY nice, and I was very appreciative of the offer, but in the end declined. I know better than this, usually, as it was now something I really wanted. So, after coming home last week, I started looking for it online. Neither of the two boutiques here which carry NM had that dress. I wasn't going to drive to Chicago for it. I found it at Nordstrom online, but it said it was "unavailable" whatever that means. So, I decided this afternoon, while baby was napping, I would look it up again on the Nordstrom web site, and then phone and ask. Well, this time, it was AVAILABLE. There was only a size 12. I thought the 8 fit OK, but was a little snug in the empire waist-band, so I was going to buy the 10 and have it taken in. I think I will buy the 12, and have it altered, and will maybe even get a better fit altogether. To make a long story short - it was 50% OFF!!!! I bought it. And a pair of strappy bacl Vera Wang sandals from bluefly to go with it. ahmward...
