eBay buyers need to read descriptions and understand that VS items say "Moda" on the tag, not "Victoria's Secret." Just got a wicked nasty email from a POd buyer. Uuugh.

In other news, big package coming today! bounce When does the SAS start in stores?

I have this one too. It's the same dress. Just different fabric. I'm taking it on vacation.
I like that dress. I put it in my cart, then checked to see what I had added the past few days. All the dresses were blue. I guess I need to look at the colors again. laugh out loud

5 Days to Save at Express! 30% off all dresses, tops, shorts, jewelry, accessories. Site is still updating.

tier coupon! it is not good though :lol : maybe a better version will come out later.

eta: clearance now additional 30% off
Thanks bounce I see the bracelets went up a little. I like this set http://www.express.com/five-row-s...rue#jsLink to use for ponytail holders too. alvs, do you think they would work?

Quote from nerdgirl :
thanks guys! i ordered that dress! needed something for FS and thought i may as well try it on... last time i ordered a dress similar to that, it ended up being too big on me in a 4 even tho reviews said it ran small. so this time i am ordering a 2. i think anything that's designed to be tight on the bottom, i have to get a 2. i got a skirt [express.com] today (i ordered it to make FS but i really like it!! :facepalm Smilie in a 2 and it's a bit loose - not tight like i would want to wear it to a club or something. it's too short on me to wear normally so i'd only really wear it for nights out on the town. but it more or less fits - a 0 might be too tight.
Tell me what size to buy in dresses. Stick Out Tongue The last bottoms I've bought were the size 2 shorts at VS. You know my chest situation. What size should I order from Express?

Quick question: Does A-list take effect immediately?

Like, if I spend enough to earn A-list status today, will I get free shipping tomorrow, or will I have to wait until the next point cycle or whatever?

how do the shorts in size 2 fit you? i.e. is it loose in the waist, tight in the hips... etc? i have smallish hips but big flabby love handles so if things are low-waisted i tend to fit smaller sizes, but for shorts i almost always size up bc i like them to sit lower on the waist and my waist area is bigger than my proportions.

i would try a size 4. i've been pretty consistently fitting in xs/2 at express - sometimes the 2 is tight and sometimes i get a S for a looser fit. i usually get size 4 tops at vs, and it sounds like you'd be a 6 at vs, so express 4 dresses/tops should fit you! as for bottoms - i have no idea. the 2 is a bit loose on me in the hips, but waist is probably a good fit (or tight on a day i eat a lot Stick Out Tongue). is there an express near you? i do a lot of in-store returns.

the others should help you more there, but i know that my points for online orders do not reflect in my account for awhile. i.e. my orders from last week have not shown up yet. hopefully they will soon!

Speaking of Express A-list, do you have to have an Express CC to qualify? I signed up for the Next program a little while ago.

Thanks for the help. Blowkiss Hmm... I would say they fit me the same everywhere. My stomach is a problem area, but I have a curvy shape in general. I'm old school from the days when we wore pants & shorts up to our waist, so I have a pronounced waistline. Stick Out Tongue I've noticed none of the girls/women who grew up wearing lower cut pants have an obvious waistline. I don't think you're alone in that. You're right that I couldn't have worn a 4 across the chest in the VS dress I recently tried. I'll try a 4 at Exp, if they run bigger. We do have Exp in the mall, so I can return if necessary. Thanks again.
