Quote from nerdgirl :
do you get FS also?
if you need, i have more 25 off 75/50 off 150 tiers. lmk if you want one.

i'm actually fine with humidity. it's hot, but i like it. my skin LOVES it. i was in NOLA last year in june, and it was hot and humid. i loved it. dbf hated it.
I did have FS, but I'm trying to wait for the strapless dress to go on sale. There wasn't $125 on sale or clearance that I wanted yesterday, but the Metallic Ruched Stretch Lace dress is back in stock today. Anyone have a recommendation on whether I need a 4 or 6 for that dress? http://www.express.com/metallic-r...crumb=true I was easily a 4 in the Metallic Ruched dress. http://www.express.com/metallic-r...crumb=true I definitely couldn't have worn a 6. Would these two dresses be similar in sizing? I'm planning to buy a few dresses, so I'll probably be able to use two high tier codes, if you aren't going to use all of yours.

Quote from PordaPoddy :
Ladies- in the colorblock skirt, does the green part flap out away from your body a little in the back (at your hamstrings)? It's stretchy enough that I could have tried the 0, but the 2 seemed right except for that.
I had the same problem in what I refer to as the mummy skirt. Stick Out Tongue http://www.express.com/diagonal-s.../index.pro I didn't want to take the time to try on a smaller size to see if that helped.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
hehe i'm at 2 bras this SAS so far : P but it's only because a lot of VS's bras dont work on me. otherwise i'd buy all the cute ones!
I've only bought 2 bras, during SAS too. Since I changed bras sizes, I had already bought a lot before then. There aren't many I want, but I'll probably end up ordering a few more. I just haven't been motivated to do that yet.

get a 4. that dress runs large. unfortunately i didn't try the other metallic dress in-store to compare. i might even venture out and say you may fit the 2 bc it's stretchy. i fit into the 0 and it would have been a good fit for clubbing, but i returned it and am deciding on keeping the 2 (i felt self-conscious in the 0 since it was a tighter fit). i think the striped ruched is the only one i've seen in that style where i needed a 4 (bc it's not stretchy).

*edit*
i just noticed that express lost all of the reviews for that metallic lace dress. that's a shame. i was going to refer to the reviews bc a lot of them said that that dress runs large.

Thanks again for the help. hug The striped ruched dress is no longer available in a 6. Sadwalk I'm afraid I can't wear a 4, since that's what you wear.

kurpee must have ordered the last one! get it from her! laugh out loud that one runs abnormally small compared to their other stuff. it was tight in the waist for me, so you may possibly fit the 4, but both me and porda (i think) couldn't zip up the 2.

wow ladies! i thought yall buy at least 10 bras at sas! i always did. i just rested the last few ones (not by choice). i haven't done store sas since we moved here.
shake head None this time around. Last time around, I got 3. 1 to try out the new Body by Victoria push up, but I mostly bought it for the green color. There are VERY VERY VERY few green bras. But I did buy approx 5 between winter SAS and Summer SAS. Sometimes if I see a color I really like, I just buy it and not wait for SAS. I am still lamenting about the beautiful green bra that I decided to wait for SAS but it was sold out way before then. This was about 4 years ago and still haven't seen anything like it since. Lesson learned.

Quote from wolfiegirl :
its good to stock up if you find ones that you like and fit well Smilie its harder and harder to find good bras in store. people are ravenous. i couldnt find any supersoft hiphuggers either. love those. its easier to buy less when you are very specific about what you can/want to wear.
I totally agree! The only frustrating thing is how they keep introducing new styles! For me, it's like, well, this fits nicely and this and this...so it keeps making me want to buy. I'm glad I have better self control now! Especially since I haven't worn most of them!

I have a pronounced waist, so that isn't a problem for me. My chest area is the problem. Do you think there's a chance the 4 would fit in that area? I'm so gun shy from trying on VS dresses that I'm afraid to take chances anymore.

Now that you all mention it, I only have one green bra too. It's a lime green. I'd love to have one in emerald green. I wish they had lingerie in emerald green also. That & gold are my best colors. Gold looks good with my skin tone & emerald really makes my eyes pop.

I just have two. A kind of grass-green from the Body by Victoria line and the most recent, new Very Sexy with the polka dots and eyelet trim.
And one plaid that's mostly blue with some green.

hehe!! I'm sooooooooo glad that I don't fit EVERYTHING, otherwise, my wallet would cry. So I think that's a plus for being on the smaller side of things!

Wow, this is a pretty awesome deal! Too bad I don't need anymore skincare, otherwise I'd be so over this!

They need to make more green bras! Yep, the one I didn't buy and let go was a beautiful emerald one! It came out during the fall. It was sooo pretty! UGH!!! They need to make more of these colors instead of all those hot neons. Mad

porda - i missed your question about the colorblock skirt. i will try it on later.
eta: i tried it on. yes it flares out at the back (when you're looking at it from the side right?)

Quote from nerdgirl :
Iagree it's hard to find anything worth buying in store. especially now that i've ventured into the 32 bins... those are always empty. i'm glad i'm more picky now tho. i still remember 10 years ago when bras were often 12.99. now they start at 29.99 on sale. that is not cheap! maybe it's my age (knowing it used to be so much cheaper), but i just don't feel like grabbing 10+ bras when they're marked 24.99/29.99.
that is right! i buy bras 1st day and i usuallu buy $16-$20 ones.

i have a trick to find old reviews. i think what happens is express doesn't show reviews made before the item goes on clearance because they add "c" on the item number. copy the item number without the c, then search on google site:express.com xxxxxx (xxxx = item number).

i have the 6 coming to me. i'm a 34 b and the chest fits just right in the 4. the 4 fits me (with dh's help zipping up laugh out loud) but it feels constricting on the waist. it actually gave me a more defined waist, but i feel like there won't be room even just for appetizer Teehee my worry about the 6 is it will be a little too big.

Are any of you ladies upset at UD for going to the China market? It seems like a lot of people are boycotting UD claiming that they are no longer vegan even though they still don't test on animals. It's just the thought that the government in China may do that to their products.

I'm not upset. I still support UD!
