Registering Inaugural Gowns
A website that tracks formal gowns so you don't wind up in the same dress as someone else.
You wouldn't want to go all the way to D.C. to one of the presidential inaugural balls and discover someone else in - gasp - the same gown you are wearing. Some stores in Philadelphia such as Nicole Miller keep track of which of its dresses is going to which event. But that only gives you so much reassurance. What if there were an independent source, perhaps with a national scope, where you could go and stake your claim on your gown to avoid seeing double on the big night? Well, there is. The Associated Press is reporting that a new site called www.dressregistry.com has been set up to do just that. You go there and describe the cut, the designer, the color, etc. Heck, you can even upload a photo.
