GH--Have you tried the Incredible strapless/multi? My daughter switched from the Biofit to that one and loves it. Not sure about how it is cut.

I noticed that too. Plus a couple of weeks ago there was the tier and free shipping.
I know, huh!
Quote from nerdgirl :
yeah... if you look closely they don't advertise the clothing as part of clearance tho. they are 'sale' clothing. does that count as SAS? either way, i placed an order due to the gc's burning a hole in my pocket. laugh out loud
Yep! I did notice that. That's why I'm not sure if it will hit SAS. It might finally be on clearance for the Winter SAS shake head Some clothing are already "Clearance" so I'm thinking that those are the only ones that are going to go on Clearance. Sadwalk

BTW, saw your pic, beautiful!

This is a pattern that repeats every year....surprised you guys didnt notice? Online SAS starts off with bras and panties mostly and then later on some clothes get added in as clearance. It's always been like that.

Krusty- My Forever 21 dresses that you requested over the weekend. The blue one is really pretty. I tried on a Laundry by Shelli Segal dress at Nordstrom that same day, and I like the F21 so much better!

Speaking of strapless bras, are any of them cut closer to a demi? The top of the cup on the Biofit 7 way shows under 2 of the strapless dresses I've tried. You can see the bra above the dress.



Chat away. Smilie Most of us talk a lot, especially me. laugh out loud I agree about wearing makeup. My sisters say everyone tells them they look better w/o it. I tell them people are just trying to make them feel good, & they want to believe it. I'm a nice sister, huh? Stick Out Tongue IMO, everyone looks better with well applied makeup. Over applied makeup is a different story.



I hate when products aren't sealed & packaged well. One of my orders had both freebies & a sample packette. The other only had the lip product. I guess it depends on who packages it.

BTW, did you see my question about Double Wear foundation? Should I go with a little lighter or a little darker?
...
sorry dear! i read it but must have been too busy at the time to reply.

for me, i went with the one that's closer in shade to me, which was the darker one. but had the lighter been closer i would have chosen that one. i'd say the 2 is probably about 2 shades lighter than me while the 3 is 1 shade darker - i am pretty light for me right now, so i'm sure i'll get darker when i get in some time by the pool.

the color match is one of the main problems of double wear light i think. a lot of people are in between colors. if you think the 1 is only a shade lighter, i'd stick with that one and maybe use some bronzer or mix in a darker shade foundation to get your color match.

are there any other foundations that match you really well? i don't know your coloring, but i have a feeling the difference between 1 and 2 is really big. in terms of mac the 2 is probably nc25-nc30. Frown

She may could mix them. That's a pain though.

I'm petite. The last time I tried the self adjusters they were too long. Do yall think the bigger bewbs will help that issue?
Quote from nerdgirl :
it might help a bit, but they'll likely still not work well enough for you. try the racerback - that one is better! i have trouble with the demi straps falling down sometimes (but i heart the incredible demi - it's my "padded" bra laugh out loud bc it's more padded than the angels demi) but the racerback corrects that. it also fits tighter than the regular bras around the bottom.
I did not keep the Incredible Racerback Bra long enough to know if the straps would stretch faster than a regular bra. I am not a fan of the Incredible Push-up Bra due to the straps. I found that the straps stretch incredibly fast...hence the name??? I do think the racerback is a good bra though.

Quote from GoHeels :
Does she realize everyone may not be looking their best after the reception, especially the little ones & the drinkers? If she's planning to go to the park between the wedding & reception, she will have some very ticked off guests. People don't like to wait a long time for the bride & groom to show up. Just some thoughts for her to consider. Smilie
It is common for wedding parties to take pictures after the ceremony at the marriage venue or another location. It has happened at every wedding I have ever attended.

I HATE HATE HATE the incredible. I love the comfort and the fit but the straps stretch out SO fast and I found mine literally fell apart. the finishing on the edges peeled apart and it was horrible. First bra I have loved and then been terribly disappointed in.

On another note. I just ordered $250 worth of stuff. I am not planning on all of it fitting, but seriously I spend too much money laugh out loud

Good eye. I think it could be the white drape/cross front dress I hated but alvs loved. Only thing I'm not sure of is it it comes in that color
