Fashion Dilemma! Caught Between Two Slashed Tanks

I first saw this Ann-Sofie Back Purple Slashed Tank ($87, originally $173) and thought, how cool.

I first saw this Ann-Sofie Back Purple Slashed Tank ($87, originally $173) and thought, how cool. Then I met its fashion-forward sister, the black version! That's when everything got confusing.Here's the situation: The black doesn't come in my size — a UK size 10 is big for me — but I am in lust with it. The purple does come in my size, which means it would fit me perfectly, but I don't love it as deeply. It's definitely still unique, but doesn't have that same impact as the black. See what I mean? I can always get it taken in, but I'm thinking it's already pretty pricey for a tank. Plus, I can't return or exchange it. Help! What would you do?

Wedding Dress Dilemma!

A friend of mine who just got engaged needs our help.

A friend of mine who just got engaged needs our help. Here's the situation: this Ines di Santo Spring/Summer '06 dress she's madly in love with is completely sold out, everywhere. I have yet to be a bride, but I can imagine the horror of learning your dream dress is forever unavailable — sigh. There is one tiny morsel of hope; a distant friend wore the same wedding dress a couple years ago . . .

But the question is: Is it wrong to ask someone to borrow their wedding dress? My inkling is yes — what if they're not the same size and alterations need to be made? What about sheer sentimental value? — but I'm not totally up on wedding etiquette. What do you say?
