ME-279521 [victoriassecret.com] - Unforgettable demi
ME-279520 [victoriassecret.com] - Unforgettable push-up
Love the Unforgettable by the way. Lots of lift but doesn't feel like it has a lot of padding.

and thanks for finding the unforgettable for me! i remember trying the unforgettable demi but it didn't work for me. i tried the pushup and it was better - i figured i love the incredible so much (bc of the cushioned wire) that i should probably get a pushup that has actual adjustable straps. too bad the clearance one doesn't have the yellow that i liked... i guess i'll order a black or something from the sale section. are they discontinuing the unforgettable?

Happy Belated Birthday! I thought I remembered it was late June, but I saw your cake pic...!
And about the Unforgettable, I still see it in stores, but I think they're paring it down like they did the Biofit

i better snatch up an unforgettable before it disappears, huh. i doubt i'd wear it much, but i'd like to have a nice comfy pushup for those rare times i want to look extra busty.
Open-back tank [victoriassecret.com], S, white - I was really excited about this after a good review and with my new-found love of open-back styles I thought I'd give it a try. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the package was the fabric feels GROSS. It is woven polyester and feels overly synthetic and not comfortable. The white is totally see-through too. I put it on and it was huge in the waist and pretty much everywhere but the bust, which caused it to gap awkwardly in the back.
Chain cowlneck cami [victoriassecret.com], S, misty grey - This was cheap enough that I figured I'd give it a try. Like the last top, I didn't realize it was polyester when I ordered it, but it is a very soft, slinky knit, so I think I'll let that slide. I found this top extremely flattering. I'm always afraid cowlneck styles are going to look bad because I'm busty, but this looks good. It ripples a little bit at the bust, but with the drapey front, it doesn't look bad. The back is racerback style and The chain detail really dresses it up. I will probably get another one of these.
Lace halter dress [victoriassecret.com], M, rose dream - It fit well, but there were a bunch of issues. First, the ruffles at the bust looked ridiculous on me. This is cut lower in front than it appears in the photo. It was also very short on me too, the outer lace layer came to mid-thigh, but the solid under layer was about two inches shorter. Too much leg and too much cleavage in a body-hugging style is not a look I am comfortable with. It is low cut in the back to so bra options are limited.
VS Pencil Pant [victoriassecret.com], 10, black - I like these. They fit well and have center seams down the front and back, which I feel is very flattering. I wish they were higher rise in back and lower in the front. They also don't have back pockets, which, if they didn't look so good, would be a deal-killer since I hate having to carry a purse.
I know there were a few other item I thought were worth reviewing, but I can't think of them right now...

ayoungpretender, have you ever altered swim bottoms? I'm wondering if it ruins the fabric & causes runs & holes.
i didn't resist long before i opened an express cc. the rewards are so worth it. you get more points, and when you get to a-list (which is pretty easy to get to) you get bigger rewards too.
I'm going to try the ruffle front dress in that print, if it doesn't sell out, before I order. I'd try the dress you have, but I plan to buy several colors in the other strapless dress. That dress looked great on you.
How much would I need to spend at Express to qualify for FS on all orders? Do returns get subtracted from the accumulative FS total? Would they take it away, if I returned enough to put me under the required total? Is it grandfathered in or do you have to spend that much every year? I'm sure I'd spend enough to qualify each year, but it would be nice to have FS from the beginning of the year & not have to qualify yearly. Sorry for asking so many questions.
I bought 8 more DA bras. I am trying to find my perfect fit and it seems the restocked some items, at least in larger sizes. I'm getting a little gapping at the top of the bra when I sit, but when I stand it seems to be a better fit. Going to try a few different sizes again. VSD has to HATE me. I just hate having to rearrange my boobs in my bra :lol :
