I saw both yesterday! I love them both! The pink dress is super cute.

I did try the last dress. It bunched too much on me at the waist and made me look heavy. I tried an xs and it was too big. It runs large because of the bunching.
i wish express has more dresses for strap/sleeve-wearing women laugh out loud

Did anyone vote or look at the PINK Nation totes in the running to be picked for September? I usually do not like any of the options on these things, but the first one with the hearts is so adorable. It is tied for 2nd place with a few others. Wild Thing (I think that is the name) is in the lead.

Quote from CrazyCatJade :
My hubby says DD isn't allowed at VS until she has a job and can buy her own stuff from there. It really bothers him when there are young girls in the store. (Nothing against you, I am not sure the age of your DD's so I am not being judgmental, DH is already on his overprotective daddy run.)
DH felt the same way, and I do to an extent. My 13 year old isn't walking around in Pink outfits with writing on her butt or pushup bras like some girls her age do. I took her to VS to be measured properly and while we were there I picked up 2 of the Pink bras. I wasn't about to spend $50 on a bra for her. The Pink everyday bra's are cheap enough 2/$40. They will hold up well. They also had some bralettes for $9.99.

I SO much prefer the weather towards the end of the year. I am from Detroit so I am used to the cold and snow and I honestly loved it! I HATE the heat here in Louisiana. Plus, this state is just gross. : lol:
I could deal with heat, it's the humidity I can't stand! Makes my hair frizzy too! Teehee

express crazies: please tell me you also have express's website bookmarked? : paperbag:
Wave Right here! Bookmarked and stalked on a daily basis. Coverlaugh

Quote from GoHeels :
I was wondering the same thing about the new store. I got that email too.
I'm going to skip it. The email didn't have any details about any giveaways or specials so it's not worth driving out there.

Quote from GoHeels :
I don't like going in the summer either. Unfortunately, that's when we usually have guests who want to go, so I have to go melt with them. shake head With some of them being teachers & the kids being in school, they don't really have a choice I suppose.
My brother asked to come in August!! OMG I said No. Way. shake head He's coming November because his kids are off for spring break.

Quote from kurips :
eta: have you tried this dress [express.com] on? would i be a xs or an s in it?
Love this one. It's on my list! I've been reading this fashion blog and she does a look with a dress [jseverydayfashion.com] similar to this, it's more mustardy but I like the look she pulls together and when I saw this dress I thought of that look and wanted it. Silly I know.

Quote from kurips :

Me too! Maybe I should buy sleeveless and wear a cardi? Scratchchin

I tried on Alvsy's Express Strapless ruched tube dress and OMG I heart that thing. The fabric, the draping, the thickness of the lining on the top- fantastic! VS could learn a thing or two about dress construction from them.

I'll be getting it in blue!
I totally understand what Nerdicus was saying about needing the stretch. When it came to the strapless ruched tube, I could do XS or S, but when it came to that striped dress ( no longer on site?), 2 was too tight to zip at the top! Guess we need the stretch Coverlaugh

All I need to know is... what price should I wait for? At $70 + tax... I have a $15 off, but will there come a time when I can use the Q AND that dress will be on sale? Scratchchin
sounds like you're about the same size as me! (sorta - i'm sure your inability to zip up top had more to do with those DD's Coverlaugh) sounds like the strapless ruched tube is perfect for big boobie girls!

thanks for the warning on the bday codes. maybe i will trade one. i don't want to use 3 accounts. but i guess we'll see... if there's a FS on low min i may use it.

when i went to work, i wore a blazer over the strapless dress i wore to photos. (i went to work for a few hours before getting hair/makeup done and then doing photos) i like the look!

What coupon? The $25 off $75 or are there other coupons I am missing? Huh I did just make a payment, maybe I deserve a dress. Teehee

I don't wear them a lot either mainly because I don't own many. I need a couple good sales to fix that! laugh out loud

Me too! I think a cardi or blazer make it look more put together, plus it hides the fact that my arms aren't buff. It's a 2fer. Teehee

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
They are bright. I need to order some normal colors too Teehee! The crystals aren't very practical. They are pretty sometimes. One of mine has them. It's a pink da demi!
Iagree Oh- if you need more of the BBV, the normal colors are on sale for $31.50 and DA Demi's are $36. PS- the strapless one I love so much, they actually have it still- it's in the Very Sexy clearance section in leopard print (I can tell by the wire in b/w the cups), item #274-465. Think I'm going to pick it up.
Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
It is an awesome dress! See why I bought all colors Teehee! I would wait for a bogo sale or for it to go 30% off. You can use coupons on it when it is on sale, just not clearance. I think I paid around $30 for mine.
Yes! Thank you for the pricing information. I was prepared to pay $55, now I know to wait Smilie

I think the VS label raises a lot more eyes than it should, stressing parents out. My aunt bought me my first lace bra and my parents had a cow. It was really just the first pretty thing I owned and wasn't going to be shown to anyone else, I wore it for slight support under PJ's. My first intro to woman-hood and feeling feminine Girly . Like you said, not that 'girls trying to grow up too fast' don't exist.

nod laugh out loud Not gonna lie though, I think S in the ruched tube dress looked better for the draping in the lower part of the skirt. Must work on this beer gut before it gets out of hand laugh out loud

As far as VS and teens, I think it all depends on the item. I know I had VS underwear in high school. It wasn't anything super sexy. Just their basic stuff. I remember my first vs online order was in high school. I got a bikini, bath robe, and pj's. I was so excited my mother ordered that for me Teehee.
