Why does it have to be $7,000????? :(
Ah well, all the more argument to have a similar version made for a virtual avatar... It'd have to be at least a *little* cheaper than that!
[November 2009 update]
Call me crazy, but I just purchased my dream dress. Splurged on what could have been an investment on the Canon 5D Mach II, one of the most powerful dSLRs on the market. But you know what? I reasoned it thusly: I have a perfectly functioning dSLR right now that I can use, and electronics are always falling in value, and being replaced with more advanced and powerful options. With fashion, once it's gone, it's gone. And this dress was is so timelessly classic and awed me so much, I couldn't pass it up. After trying it on during a casual browsing trip to the mall, I could barely bear to take it off.... and so I knew... it was an investment I was going to make.
Now, to just make it worthwhile, I need to find events for the rest of my life to wear it to. One great thing: it will serve as my incentive to keep in shape (the dress is gorgeously shape-defining, but it is also merciless at showing any untoned body parts)!
