thats awesome!!! I think its a great idea to have a dress from every country. Good luck on collecting them. You'll have to take pictures and post them. I'd LOVE to see those cool looking dresses.

I always wanted to get a tshirt from every state I visited, but that got to expensive , so now i just get magnets.

thanks...i definately will.

i have got some awesome deals on things though. my sari i'm waiting on cost 35.25 american dollars......that was 20 dollars shipping and handling!.. so the dress itself wasnt too bad.

the ao dai i'm going to get is 38.....dont know about s & h...

I get a Beanie from every airport I visit. That's not too many, on average 1 or 2 a year if we take a long distance trip. But I've been to quite a few now, so there's not many left.
And I think it's cool about the dresses. I wanted a Japanese kimono once, but they don't make them for larger people. :012: :)

that's because all the japanese people are really tiny. Honestly...have you ever see one who wasn't ? hurmmmm...I wonder what their secret is.

I recently have fallen in love with suits. I love a double breasted jacket. I have a really nice denim on that I found, and I just bought a really nice black suit with a skirt with no slits, along with another longer black skirt, also no slits. Heh, of course it was about $90, but they are nice, and you typically don't find nice black outfits that actually fit!

Suits? Hmm... I've never even tried on a suit. Probably because, I'd either feel too old wearing it, or too serious. lol

when i was in disney world, i saw larger kimonos. they make them, i know they do....you could even have them tailored especially for you.

my sari is being hand done....so, i sent my measurements.

its hard for me to wear cute clothes.....i'm pretty skinny all over, except upstairs. now theres a problem.....so, whatever i wear if it fits there, its too big elsewhere.

thats why i'm excited about my sari-perfect fit everywhere!

My mom got a book from the library last week called "Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat..."
It's basically a lot about how they eat, I guess. Pretty informative.

And I can't wear suit coats. They make me look huge and I have huge shoulders and rib cage enough as it is. I could be a football player with no problem.

Suits? Aren't they for guys?

Oh wait. You mean those matching jackets & skirts. Yeah. I have to wear one for work, and I pretty much hate it.

The only good thing about having a uniform is, no one notices if you wear the same clothes all week.

I LOVE those things.

I do have three suits that I have to alter the bottoms...and I should do it while the weather is perfect for them...but then again, I do have an outfit that I have been working on for over a year. Two years by Easter time. Was supposed to be last year's Easter outfit...A really cute sleeveless dress, with matching 3/4 length sleeve, long jacket, about the same length as the dress. Main thing is finding the jacket directions, and adjusting the neck on the dress, as it gapes really bad.
