I got this Crisscross dress [victoriassecret.com] today. I was very much looking forward to it. It was a HUGE disappointment. It just fit strangely and the straps for the back were TOO long. What kind of proportion does VS think we have anyway?! Also, the front had the boob area was already pre-shaped and I HATE that, it gave me cone-shaped boobs. Not attractive in my opinion.

I also got an insert that is for $10 off a future purchase in July, so check your packages ladies!

I guess I will be very wary of VS' new dresses and still to the tried and true ones. Now, to wait for the maxi skirt I was eying!
That's so weird, because I love the crisscross dress! The darts weren't a problem for me and I have broad shoulders for a size 6 so I use up all the length in the straps. I guess it's not for everyone though. It's so rarely I find structured styles that fit without needing alterations.

Needs yall's opinion.

Just got this swimsuit [everythingbutwater.com]. I had to buy a large top. Is the band around the bottom of my boobs too thick or am I just being too picky?

I also got this one yesterday [victoriassecret.com]. I decided to try cheeky but these are ruched cheeky laugh out loud. Don't think I'm going to try that even though they're not as bad as the panties I once had laugh out loud. I do think the suit is really cute though.

High Five yay skirt twin!

Whee i could be your legs double!

Bonk I see the skirt on their site twice, each time with a different blue top. I'm not going to do that, think I'll go with black - what will you pair it with?
Leg double it is! I should put that info in my siggy so I can remember who's my dub for what.

ScratchchinSo that's what mine would look like if they could hold themselves up , laugh out loud
ETA, if I had that top in my return pile, I'd totally post a pic so you could see just how sad mine would look in that by comparison Crying2

I think I'm keeping the bandeau top. I have some plain white bottoms coming that I ordered with the $25 ship code. anyone wear the like that? i think it would be cute.

They were on special for $25??? DohThat explains why they're all OOS online! Good to know! I got a size 2 in these. I'm worried about the black, b/c I can see wear lines near the pockets and I don't know how well canvas will hold that jet black that I want. I was looking at the patterned ones, but they want $10 more for those? Nono1

Oh man it's going to be a long night, I'm trying to finish cleaning downstairs, so I can move upstairs tomorrow...err. later today... Auntie comes Thursday morning! EEK!
i stalked those shorts for awhile, and the reviews made me really want to try them (many who didn't like the shorts said they'd work better for straight bodies/small hips which i have) so when they went on special i hopped on it. i would have gotten cobalt if i didn't already have the eva short in cobalt. i also got 2 and they fit perfect!

keep it - it looks great on you! imo you can pair it with a lot of things - i'm a big fan of mismatched top and bottom. i tend to do one solid and one patterned - i would pair a solid white top with any patterned bottoms that have white accents.

It looks great on you! I think it's because I'm petite so it must be the reason why the straps are too long! And because of that, it couldn't really pull up the front part of the dress, leaving the terrible cone shapes!

I'm just trying to not be too sad over it because I have a similar dress in a similar style and material from 3 years ago, it's just the front straps are a little different.

Hm..yeah, gonna have to agree with wolfie, bottom band too thick. They probably figured bigger girls need bigger support Frown

I like pairing white with white. Makes it even cuter with a cute design. I think it will be fine nod

not sure what to do with my big express rewards. i'm going to be big time negative next time! and i don't want to order anything new and chance losing it. i'm thinking about rebuying the striped ruched dress with my $30 reward, but will it go to 30 or 40% off clearance? kurpee - any idea?
