That's The Dress

School was finally over and our mom agreed to take us to pick out a dress for spring formal.  We first checked out a retail shop that had cheap dresses but Kir and I were not fawn of the dresses at all. They were way to pink and bright for us.

The next store we checked was a wedding shop. It was our moms idea to check it out. We knew we wouldn't want anything white at all.

Mom: girls we can go to one more store called Debs they should have something you both will love.

We finally reached the store Debs. Soon as we walked in we found a few we loved. Kir had 3 dresses in her hand to try one. Our mom wouldn't pay for them unless we tried them on.

Kir had two all black dresses and one black and purple dress. She went to the changing room to try each of them on. Mom and I stood outside waiting to see each dress.

Kir finally came out in her first pick a laced all black dress. It showed way too much and was definitely to short.

Mom: nope not getting that missy. I can see your hooha.

Kir: yea it's very uncomfortable

Kir turned around and went to try on her second dress. It was black and puffy with sleeves.

I could tell Kir hated that one.

Kir: I hate it.

Mom: what do you not like about it sweetie?

Kir: the puff it's way too puffy for me.

Me: yea I knew you would hate it soon as I seen you walk out.

Kir turned back around and last but not least she tried on the purple and black dress. It fit her perfectly and it had some sleeve that went right before her elbow. She could also wear her purple and black converse with this dress because it's not to formal and not to casual.

Kir: okay this is the dress! I love it!

Mom: sweetie that fits you perfectly!

Me: wow sis you look great! All the boys will be on you tomorrow night.

Kir went back into the dressing room grabbed the two she didn't want and handed them to a worker.

Kir: Kate we need to find you something

Me: I know come with me.

Mom walked over to the shoes to pick out something for herself. While Kir and I walked over to the red dresses.

Kir: look this one is similar to mine!

Me: let me see

I looked at it and it was definitely similar only difference is that it was red and black.

Me: I have to try this one on. I can definitely wear my favorite black boots with it.

Kir: you know you have to pick two more just to try on cause mom isn't going to let you leave without trying it on first.

Me: I know but you know how uncomfortable that is for me.

Kir: I know

We looked around for two more red dresses so I can try on. We found a puffy one and then found one with no sleeves.

Me: alright let's get mom

We walked over to the shoes and there she was trying on a pair of heels.

Me: mom I'm ready to try on my dresses

Mom: okay let's go to the changing rooms

Mom grabbed the heels she tried on and we walked back to the changing rooms. I went into one room. I first tried on the puffy red dress. I walked out the dressing room and stood in front of Kir and mom. I then heard laughing coming from beside me by the next changing room. I looked over and seen Claire.

Kir: what's so funny?
Claire: oh nothing. She said laughing.

Mom: don't pay her any attention. That's all she wants.

Me: okay but this isn't the dress.

I walked back into the changing room and tried on the sleeveless dress. I walked out of the dressing room to show mom and Kir.

Mom: no it's to cold for something like that.

Kir: yea no not that one.

All of a sudden Claire had to say something.

Claire: yea definitely makes you look fatter

Kir: say one more thing about my sister and that pretty hair of yours will be gone.

Mom: Kir! I said to ignore her!

Claire huffed and went into her changing room. I quickly went into mine and slipped the dress off to try on my other one before Claire was done. Thank god I did because if she said one more thing Kir would be in a fight.

I walked back out in front of Kir and mom.

Kir: that's the one!

Mom: you look beautiful Kate but are you sure you want something similar to Kir?

Me: yes.

Okay well go out your clothes on and you two meet me at the register.

Kir: okay mom

Mom: Kir no fighting at least not inside the store.

Kir: got it mom.

I went into my dressing room to put my clothes on. I got done rather quickly so we could get out of this store before Kir would strangle Claire.

I walked out of my dressing room with the dress in hand. Kir and I went to our mom and handed her my dress.

Mom: here's the keys go to the car.

Kir: okay.

Kir and I walked to the car and got inside. We were talking when we suddenly heard a knock at kir's window. It was Claire.

Kir rolled her window down.

Kir: what?

Claire: I just need to know why Jake is into a cow like her.

That did it. Kir was out the car door and in Claire's face.

Kir: I warned you
That was all Kir said and before Claire could say another word she punched Claire in the face.

I got out the car to get Kir.

Me: Kir calm down! Get back in before mom comes!

We both got in the car and not even 5 minutes late our mom got in.

Mom: Alright where to now ladies?

Me: Coffee?

I knew Kir needed to chill out so I figured coffee will do until we get in our room at home.

Mom: sure

We headed to the nearest coffee shop and got coffee.

Mom: alright girls we have to get back home so I can spend time with Marshall and JT.

Kir and I: okay

We headed home and we took our dresses into our room to hang up in our closet. Kir then lit up a cigarette and handed me one.

Kir: don't listen to Claire. She's wrong. You're not fat and you're not a cow.

Me: I know. Thank you though.
