I finally ordered that dress. bounce For $39.99, I'll take a chance on it fitting. Hopefully, it can be altered, if it doesn't. I think it will be great for my Oct. cruise.

That's too cute.

Quote from leftie :
Very cute dress!!! This is one thing that's annoying about shopping online - I often find myself torn between sizes. If I really love the item, I'll order both sizes (esp. if there's a chance it will go OOS)...but it's such a hassle to keep track of returns.
I probably would have tried a 4 & 6, if the 4 wasn't OOS. I seriously doubt the 2 would fit. It would be really nice, if the sizes were more consistent. I don't like having to send in returns either.

Quote from nerdgirl :
for dresses, you have to consider your assets also. esp in a dress like that where it's not very elastic up there. makes it even harder!
That is so true.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
Yah, try the 6. It might actually work.

I can't wait for SAS! : woot: I hope that dress goes down in price! VS needs to fix their sizing and up their quality! That crossback dress was not worth $69.50 in my opinion. More like $39.50, but I was able to use GC, so I'm keeping it.

I can't wait for the criss cross dress since ayoungpretender said it's quite nice fabric :nod :
I'm going to wait for SAS to order the cross-back dress. Hopefully, they'll mark it down.

The crisscross dress looks great on Candice, but awful on Erin. It looks like Erin isn't busty enough for it. Dontknow That dress is in a sale catalog I just got for $69.50. It looks like the same one anyway. Let me know, if anyone wants the item number.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
code stacking is always a good excuse to order ; )
Stacking codes can get you in trouble too. I can't ever seem to pass on them. Embarrassment

Quote from azn1x6flame :
I gave it a whirl with cross back! It CAN work, I just have 1 trouble strap that won't hide, but it's nothing that pinning won't fix. I got these rhinestone straps from many years back and it would be kind of fun to wear the rhinestone straps and have it show in the back as a halter or something! :lol : :s hake:

Anyway, I tried adjusting the straps and it could be how I wear the bra. The lower the strap around your stomach goes, straps seems to show more. I am noticing that one side of the double straps on the dress splits more than the other, but again could be the way I'm wearing it since I'm not playing around with it much, but I'm thinking it's the angle of the straps on the dress. You could be right about the fabric shrinking...Anyway, what you could do is bring the dress with you to VS, try on the multiway in the room along with the dress and see how it works, but I suggest investing in one for sure!

I wear XS in Express and Bebe because their sizes are so inflated. I've only done a couple of XS with VS, but it was cause I was swimming in their small! :shake :
I'm confused. Blush Which dress are you all talking about? At first, I thought you were talking about the cross-back dress & VS low back bra. Now, it sounds like you're referring to the regular VS multi-way bra.

Sorry! It's the multiway bra and that multiway has a low back option.
It comes in 2 color straps. Color of the bra and clear. At least it did when I got it. It's the same one that nerdius linked when showing that bra that one time. I'll link later tonight

I passed it up too...my friend who works there told me that she suspects a big sale coming up soon with most summer items at least 30% off. I'm holding out for that!

Quote from GoHeels :
Yay, I'm glad you had a great time. woot So, how you do think cruising compares to all inclusive resorts? We booked our Panama Canal cruise yesterday. I can't wait. bounce
Hi GH! I enjoyed the cruise, but DH did not like the motion so much. lol He said he was sick of feeling drunk all the time. Teehee Also, the weather was crappy on the first 2 days, but once we docked in Bermuda it was perfect!! I think I may still opt for all-inclusive resort over cruises....but for the great deal we got on this cruise, I would certainly not pass it up again in the future!! And Panama Canal Cruise sounds amazing!!!!!

Gotcha! I'm hoping to get a regular multi-way in black, nude, or both & the VS deep-v low back in probably nude during SAS. I'm going to wait to see which regular multi-way/7 way is cheapest, before deciding which to order.

From what I've read, bad weather & rough seas are common leaving the Northeast. You wouldn't experience that leaving from FL, unless there was a hurricane nearby. Seasickness is not fun. If it was bad, I wouldn't blame your DH for not wanting to go again. I get sick on small boats, but not cruise liners. Bermuda is on our short list. I'm sure it was great. We've discussed going to an all inclusive resort, but we never have. We will some day.

Here's the multiway [victoriassecret.com]. I don't see the regular one, just the deep v.

Here's the biofit [victoriassecret.com]. I think will work too. I haven't tried it yet, but I believe it will!

Those are hard colors to make go invisible under clothes..Maybe it will show up at SAS? I know that I've still seen in stores. Hurry to a store! They're probably still getting rid of stock.

Edit: I see it on the site! Here! [victoriassecret.com] There's no cross back option so that you'd already need to have a bra with the low back strap

Ugh, Bloom had a get a $25 gift card with $75 purchase for mother's day dealio and the "gift certificate" they sent is a coupon code! Despite saying gift certificate right on it, it doesn't work in the gift card field but does in the coupon field. LAME.

The 30% off Gotb mentioned could be what they have going now at deals & steals - tops, dresses, jeans, skirts, pants.
