the theme is *technically* ancient Greece, but I’m okay with pushing it a bit so don’t take that too much into account. I genuinely love and feel beautiful in both so I’m having a hard time choosing! anyway here’s some notes about each:

Black Dress:

- Very comfortable

- subtly sparkly

- neckline is vaguely Mediterranea-esque

- too dark

- more affordable

- I would get some sort of tan so I don’t look so pale lol

Purple Dress:

- light and whimsical

- falls down a lot and is kind of pokey

- appliqués are very pretty and well placed

- has a slit that shows off a huge scar on my leg (neutral)

- colors fit theme a bit better

- would need to buy a special bra

UPDATE!!:

the purple has a corset back and I realized yesterday that I laced it wrong, so I tried it correctly today and it doesn’t fall down nearly as much! I’m also going to nordstrom today to see if it can be altered to stay up better, if not I’ll use some tape. Thank you so much everyone for all the kind comments!!

I was in a pretty terrible skiing accident back in January (massive laceration, 31 surface stitches, 8 deep stitches) and my leg has healed very nicely!

However, I did sustain some nerve damage in the flap and the left side of the scar, and feeling has more or less returned, but it is very uncomfortable when touched. My ortho said I could massage it and whatnot but it feels really icky and even painful in some places (usually the top) to do so. What are some things I can do to get rid of or used to this sensation?

laypeople with similar experiences are welcome to respond! This isn’t an urgent question :)
