and cap sleeves. The skirt
is black chiffon. It looks
awfully good on and as
far as I could tell the material
was much better than in
any of the other formals I
looked at. I know you'll
be very pleased. It needs just
a little altering in the
shoulders and I wonder if
you think I should have one
of the girls pin it and
send it home to be fixed or
should I just pin it so it
looks alright and then have
it fixed right when I come
home. I'd send it home now
without question but I have
to wear it two weeks from
tonight and I don't know
whether I could get it back
in time. Please write me
as soon as possible and
tell me if you think you
could get it back. I'd really
rather have it fixed right
now but I don't want to
run the risk of not being
able to wear it after I've
gotten it.
