ALVS, you look fantastic as always!

I went to express during my lunch to try on dresses. I don't really wear express clothes, so I'm glad I tried on the dresses before ordering. I really loved that blueflowered dress [express.com] that you have on in your picture. It fit in a size 2 but was just so sort...and the 4 looked weird. I'm trying to decide if I would actually wear it. It was so cute but just so short (I'm 5'8").

However, I'm obsessed with this dress [express.com] and seriously want it in every color so I can wear it every day. So pretty. So comfy.

Alvs, did you order the pink/orange flowered dress inthe same size you ordered that blue flowered dress? Should I size up? My express didn't have that pink/orange dress, but I love it and definitely want to order it!
Your 2nd link goes to the first dress again. I'd love to see which dress you're in love with. I may need it to. Teehee Although, I'm a shorty, so it may not work for me.

I've been considering that dress in the mauve rose metallic lace. http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss...vsdWrapper I thought it would be good for my October cruise. How does the sizing run on this one? I never know what size to order. It would be nice if I guessed right for a change. shake head Also, what bra do you wear with both of those dresses? I may need to order yet another bra. Facepalm
I have that dress in solid black, size 6. It fits well. My waist is about 28 inches, and it sounds like we're about the same in the bust. I can wear a regular strapless with it, I just have to pull it down in back about an inch lower than I normally wear it. It may hang differently on you though, I have big shoulders and a muscular back for my size, so I might take up more length in the straps. Hope that helps.

Thank you. I always order the smallest size at express.

All edited! Seriously, it would probably look better on you being short! You should totally check it out. I love it. I think I'm going to order it in pink, purple, and blue. The red sort of clashes with my hair...but I wish that color worked as well.

those 2 are linking to the same dress...
i hope it won't be that short on me. i'm 5'5-5'6. i was really excited for the dress! but yeah, it looks like the right length on alvs. :-\ about where did it hit your thigh?

i see you changed the link. i tried on that dress too, and it fits amazingly! i didn't get it tho, bc for some reason i feel like a jersey dress should not cost $80. i know it's on sale but still!

Too funny. I was thinking the same thing. I don't really like it online, but it looks really great on alvs. Her pic makes me want one too. I liked the brighter one from the beginning. Now, I really want it. Their clothes look better on alvs than they do on their models. They may want to look for new models. laugh out loud




Thanks ladies. hug I don't think I've even noticed a backless bra. How does that work? Scratchchin I'll look for one of those & the Gorgeous bra on the site. I have a Very Sexy multi-way on the way. Hopefully, it will work for one of them. I also have a Biofit 7 way, but it's a bright pink. I'd have to make sure it wouldn't show at all. Unfortunately, pasties wouldn't work for me. It wouldn't be pretty. EEK!
the gorgeous convertible goes into backless - you attach an extender and then wrap it around your tummy. the back ends up looking like this:

or this:


can't seem to find a pic of the front.

anni/GH - the front looks the same as a regular bra, just imagine the Goregous and the VS with the same front, sloped back straps. Works pretty nicely. Doesn't slip or anything!

How's the quality of the dress? I've been holding off on ordering because the one time I got a white dress this year, it was see-through. Do NOT what that happening again.
