Getting Dresses For Successes

Now that I'm going to more and more auditions these days, I want to make sure that I always look my best. I've been seeing more and more girls wearing dresses to auditions. No one will argue that a form-flattering dress is more often than not, the way to go - especially if you are going in for the role of an ingenue.

A friend of mine and fellow improviser always has the most adorable dresses. I've complimented her on them on more than one occasion. The line of dresses is called Butter by Nadia. I couldn't think of a better kind of dress to get for auditions and performances, so when my friend told me that they were having a sample sale this weekend in Red Hook, Brooklyn - I said, I'm there!

The dresses which are normally priced in the mid $100-$200 range, were between $50 and $125. Considerably more affordable for us starving artists, although still a bit of a splurge. After about an hour of trying on everything that I could get my hands on, I ended up with a "vixen" red "Convertible Fanny" and a "Signature Wrap" in "evergreen."

What's absolutely fabulous about these dresses is that you can tie them up and fashion them is all sorts of different styles. It's like having 12 different dresses in one!

I have that agent showcase coming up on Tuesday night and I plan on wearing my red dress to that. I can hardly wait to wear my pretty dress! I feel like such a girly girl!
