I can see why you were attracted to the dress. It really is pretty. Hopefully you will be able to alter it to where you can be happy with the fit.
I almost always see rolling pins at the Hospice or other thrift stores as so many folks don't bake much anymore and when Granny passes, off to the thrift store with her rolling pin! Too bad for them but good for others. I bet you will find one for a very good price. That is a very cute cover. I wonder if it works well.
I too was a total cow's tale on the air fryer. I heard and read a lot about them, but somehow, I couldn't see me using it. My younger sister who still has family at home used hers a lot, but said mostly it was for fries and fast good, chicken nougets and other such things. Finally, it came a time that I gave another sister one for her birthday as she wanted to try, but wasn't to keen on buying, so I made it easy for her and bought her one. Of course, soon after I bought myself one as well. I used mine lightly 4 or 5 times and then it say on the counter for a few months and then I cleaned it again extra good and put it back in the box. LOL ! I asked my Mom if she'd like to try it as she said she had been curious, but by then she said she'd like to think about it and not to get rid of it.... and then she promptly forgot about it, so it is across the room I am sitting in right now, nearly brand new in it's original box. I hope YOU get better usage out of yours than I did with mine.
I do impulse buy once in a while still and "most" of the time I still thought it through enough while standing in front of it to know I will use whatever it is, but sometimes you just don't know till you get it home and see whether it really becomes a part of your life..... or not.
Do yourself a favour and start using it. I roasted a chicken in it, rubbed a little oil on parboiled potatoes and added them towards the end, it was soo good. Sausages, lamb chops, chicken pieces, potato wedges all cooks/airfries beautifully. Roasted veggies too!
I will alter the dress, it's very pretty.
I'm glad yours has worked out for you, but the few things I tried were ok, but not that great. I also decided I didn't like the idea of cooking in hot plastic....LOL.... it's a thang, but either way, I believe I am in the minority on it as others LOVE theirs.
