Suzy....I agree Beauty is Pain...the dress sounds Beautiful. I say go for the dress!!!
I am about to jump in the shower and get ready too. We are attending a party at my moms from about 5pm till 8pm and than off to our friends house for a Fire and Ice Themed party (the real fun)

.
I am wearing a Silver cocktail dress and hubby is wearing a black suit with a black shirt and a silver tie. I am super excited, the party sounds fun. They are having fire pits, torches and ice sculptures all over the place and even an ice shot dispenser. Whoo-hoo....I think it may be a late night!!
