Dress-Up Time... [Mar. 26th, 2008|09:47 am]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry

Hey Babes!!!

  I need some help. I'm officially down 83lbs (about a size 12) and my man is graduation the middle of May so I need a dress for the big day. Nothing too dressy, but something cute, fun and a treat to myself for busting my ass and losing all this weight (only 30 more lbs to go till I hit my goal!) 

  Now even w/ all this weight loss I'm still super busty (36D to DD) and I don't want "the girls" out on parade so nuthin' too sexy/low/strappy. Any idea's on where I can find such a fabby thing? (Sarah, Shana, you guys are pro shoppers, and Megan I know you feel my pain in the "put the girls away" category!)

awesome!
good work! if i was treating myself i'd DEFINITELY check Anthropolgie first! (http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/category.jsp?popId=APPAREL&navAction=poppush&navCount=1&pushId=APP_DRESSES&id=APP_DRESSES)
Kinda pricey but such good summery stuff.
PLEASE show us what you find!
oh and new shoes, of course.

I love Ann Taylor Loft and Boden for pretty dresses that are sweet and tasteful:

J Crew has some cute stuff for Spring too: http://www.jcrew.com/catalog/category.jhtml?id=cat300187&navAction=jump

And of course Anthropologie. They can do no wrong.

oh man, i was just looking at fancy schmancy party dresses all morning! i have no reason too, i just like pretty things! im glad it has come in handy!you can see my top 10 here, but the ones i think are reasonable, super cute, and possibly flattering for a big rack:
02264505_D1
CK $118, online at...lord and taylor?
_5579518
Max & Cleo $118 online at...nordstrom?
_5515109
Suzi Chin $168 online at...nordstrom?

i also firmly endorse several of the anthropologie summery party dresses. they are just as cute IRL, and i also want one really badly!

So I totally have absolutely no ideas for you but want to commend you on your weight loss. What an amazing accomplishment! I am happy for you (and crap, a bit jealous!).
