I did some subbing while I was getting my business off the ground. If you sub high school students, know that they''ll try to test you. My DH calls it, "Sink the Sub."

I ordered a dress from netbride.com. It''s an Alfred Angelo dress that retailed $499, and netbride.com got it to me for $251. They saved me a lot of money. Might be worth checking out. |

I''m also going with the first dress. I''m not personally big on empire waisted dress, but the 1st dress with the gathers gives the dress a little flare and fits your body better than the 2nd one. |
