Hi ladies Wave I found this on Kohls website....I researched the brand and it seems like a good deal and it's way too cute Girly No need for reps- Just thought I would share in case anyone needed a travel set.

Quote from ayoungpretender :
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.
Thanks, your reviews always help. I'll try a 6 then. The last dress I bought was a 6, so it should be close. I don't have big shoulders or a muscular back, but my back fat will probably = your muscles. laugh out loud

Quote from red333 :
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.
I'm still seeing the same dress. It's probably my cookies or something. What's the name of the dress? I can look it up that way. I tried looking for the colors you mentioned & the Scoop Neck Ruched Knit Dress http://www.express.com/scoop-neck...pro#jsLink was the only one I saw with all of those colors. Is that it?

Did you try the red on? My niece, who has red hair, can pull off some reds & pinks, but not all. It may work for you.

Quote from annicus :
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.
Quote from azn1x6flame :
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!
Thanks for the additional info. I was imagining a bra with nothing in the back, & couldn't figure out how that could possibly work. laugh out loud I'm going to order the Gorgeous bra. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I need a bra code. Faint

Quote from annicus :
we can also place an order to get the freebie on sunday. guess what i'll be doing sat night! :lol :
How can we order online? I missed that conversation. I doubt I'll make it to the mall. We don't have a stand along Origins or Sephora close by anyway. The only thing we have really close is the Sephora in JCP & the mall.

i don't think i've seen that blue dress in the store... if i buy without trying... i think i can get a 2, since its not tightly-fitted.

this morning dh told me, in reference to my outfit is "you look sexy". based on his personality, i had to ask him, if he was complimenting me, or saying that i look inappropriate for work. he said both : lol: i didn't have time to change though, i thought i was decent.
I'm sure they look as good on you as they do on alvs. As long as your DH thinks you're sexy, that's the only thing that really matters anyway. Who doesn't love the special attention you get from a jealous hubby? Teehee

Quote from Tizzylicious :
Congrats on your weight loss! I must of missed out on that convo. How did you do it? Any special diet or just exercise?

Good to know. I might give them a try. The shorts at Express look a little too short for me. But I haven't tried them either.

The summer before I had my daughter is the last time I wore one. I didn't gain much weight after her but I had horrible stretch marks, since then I have gained more weight but my weight isn't my issue. Even if I had a rock hard body if I could see the stretch marks I probably still wouldn't put one on.

I think hats are the only thing these ladies will not talk me into. : nono2: I look terrible in hats.

Beautiful dress! Looks perfect for an October cruise. Where are you cruising too?
I know it sounds strange, but I can't exercise due to my health. I've lost the weight by counting calories. I try to keep my calories below 1,000 most days. Sundays or days we eat out are my splurge days. We rarely eat out though. On Sundays I eat anything I want. If I didn't have a splurge day to look forward to, I never would have stuck with the diet. I still eat 3 times a day. I just have my DH pick up things that will be as filling as possible for the amount of calories per serving. This means I eat a lot of Raisin Bran, which I don't really like. (I'm not a fan of raisins.) It is filling for the portion size & the raisins satisfy my craving for sugar. Plus, it has bran, which is important when dieting. I eat a lot of veggies for dinner & little meat. I never really liked meat anyway, so that doesn't bother me.

My DH said if I wanted shorts that were longer I might as well buy Bermuda shorts. Obviously, he thought the length was good.

I have stretch marks too. My skin is so fair they're hard to see, unless I have a good tan. Then, they're obvious.

Hats don't look good on me either. My hair is my best feature. It really doesn't make sense to cover it up, yet these girls have almost talked me into buying one. Facepalm

ETA: I forgot you asked about the cruise. We're cruising to the Panama Canal for our 20th anniversary.

What color should I order in the Gorgeous bra? I want one that I can wear with any dress or top that I need the backless bra for. They don't have nude. Which color would you order?

I just noticed they do have the Very Sexy low back in nude. Which bra is better (Gorgeous or VS)?

That's a cute set. I have no use for a straightener, but it's really cute for those who do. Thanks for posting. Smilie

Quote from kurips :
similar to this [express.com] white top burn-out, black skirt. the shirt is sleeveless, but i have thin long-sleeved black boyfriend cardigan on unbuttoned. they are both from express. his concern was probably the skirt being fitted and above the knee (it's just right above), and also the top is loose, and may show stuff when i bend over. he told me to hold my neckline if i'm bending over. i said i'm not bending over. he said i may need to pick up chalk from the floor. that was our conversation in the car laugh out loud



it was an ordinary day laugh out loud i get to have my lunch at home at 2:30.
That dress is cute too! I have 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.
Hi GH, I thought I modified the original post, but I guess it didn't take. You guessed right, though. It's this [express.com]dress. I think it would be flattering on anyone! let me know if you love it as much as I do when you try it on. It's much prettier in person, and you need to try it on. On the rack, it's not nearly as pretty.

I always always always do black. It's invisible under white. I think both are the same function-wise. Do you like the Very Sexy or the Goregous better? I'm sure you have either of those bras and I think it comes down to personal preference of the cut and feel too.

Thanks for the link. I like the black/white combo & purple really well. Now, I just need to find a place to wear dresses to. laugh out loud

Thanks for the color recommendation. That makes sense. I wonder if it would work the same with my ghostly skin. Scratchchin I do have Very Sexy bras, but I haven't tried a Gorgeous bra yet. I like VS pushups, but the demi doesn't fit me right. I'm not sure which to order.

Any idea about how much it would cost to ship 2 pair of tennis shoes back to 6pm? I ordered Keds in 5 1/2 & should have gotten a 5. I'm afraid the toes will start to curl up, because they're too long. If returning them will cost much, I may just donate the 5 1/2s. They were a total of $20, so it's not like I'm losing much.

it usually costs me about $10 to ship shoes back to them. i've found that fedex is the cheapest, if you have a fedex account. (it's free to sign up on their website) it is not cheap tho, but shipping both back should cost less than $10 per pair. i'd guess at $15 for both but i'm not sure.

i always get nude AND black for strapless/etc. i find that i wear my nude bras the most, actually. apparently i have a lot of see-thru clothing that black shows up under.

on the other hand, i almost always choose black undies over nude. Dontknow

i have the gorgeous demi. i didn't like the very sexy low front convertible. it was ok, not amazing.
