shopping clue, anyone?

Imagine you are female; you have something coming up for which you have to dress up, in a professional style-- such as a court appearance or a job interview; it's too late to get anything custom-tailored; it's going to be sub-freezing that day; and you have a magic credit card, on which you can charge nearly any amount for the clothes you buy. Where do you go shopping?

Is double-sided tape strong enough? I'd do both, tape and safetypin to the side seams to be sure.

Good to know about Filenes Basement. I didn't care for the one in Framingham - a bit office-heavy - but I've been looking for petite blouses that are more tailored.

Probably depends on the tape. I picked some up awhile back at Joanne's Fabrics that's meant specifically for hems. I can't imagine that the stuff I use in the wood shop wouldn't hold, though I'd be more worried about staining if I left it on. The stuff that comes with window insulating plastic is laughable - wouldn't count on that without a pin or two.
