I received them! But they sent them to my billing address rather than my shipping address if that makes a difference!

Thanks for the feedback. I just emailed them again. My billing address & home address are the same.

Someone has been drawn into the Express craze! Where's your sweater shaver from? I have a feel that I should have one handy. I've been lucky enough that I haven't worn too many sweaters too often for it to pill, but just in case, I wanna have one handy.

Brookstone, I think. I have never used it but a friend gave it to me for Christmas one year

Thanks for telling me I can machine wash the side rib sweater. I'm very lazy when it comes to laundry.

A few reviews said theirs either developed holes or came with holes in them, so it could just be a matter of time. I've only washed it once, but I'm hoping it fares well! I don't wash it with anything that has hooks or zippers.

Thanks for the reviews. I thought we were a similar size, except you are much taller. You must be smaller. The small sweater fits me perfectly, after washing it. It's definitely not big anywhere. There's no way I could have worn an XS. I'm surprised the double-v neck wedge looks good on you, since you have big knockers. Your longer torso must help to smooth it out.

It's too bad the crinkle chiffon top isn't flattering. I've been debating ordering one forever. You've convinced me to pass on it.
. . .

and they just keep getting bigger. About the sizing.... It's also possible that I like things to fit closer to the body. I think my torso is an XS, but the chest makes it a solid S depending on the cut of the top. The button shoulder shirt made weird folds on the outside of either said "knocker" like you mentioned ( think it was you

) The double V top did not and draped nicely in cascading folds of fabric. The crinkle might look good on the waifly-thin no chesties... but I think its the flaw of the fabric that it would still just hang as a boxy square. Kind of a bummer since the colors were quite pretty. I also realized I will have to size up my slub tees or they just don't look right. I wish they had 2 model photos: 1 with no boobs and 1 with... both in the same size shirt. It totally changes the look when you have to account for them. I size up the fitted dress shirts too or the button looks like it's going to pop... a favorite of DH's for sure esp. since we both work from home right now

Now that is a thing of beauty. If I were the SA, I would save it in a book. It is probably the highest one they will ever see.

I thought the jacket was too expensive for what it was too. I paid around $240. I'll rebuy it if it goes under $150. It's a cute piece. It's just overpriced for not being finished. I call clothing that isn't hemmed unfinished

.

It IS unfinished!

I usually don't like flashy anything, especially swim, but lately, I've been buying prints

Their new prints are cute! Hopefully they stop putting out such cute swim! I need to stop buying!

They probably ripped it up

Thanks for the fabric shaver info

Bridezilla finally made an executive decision on the BM dresses [davidsbridal.com]! MOH will be in a different dress [davidsbridal.com]. Both in Lapis. Finally this is over with!! I think I will finally get to put my double sided tape to use given that the V-neck is low.

I have a couple of those fabric shavers/delinters. I got my first one in Asia, but I also got one at cvs. you can probably find it in one of those Asian stores that sell a lot of random stuff. or cvs. but I'm sure the brookstone one is much nicer.

Oh, you mean the shorts are in store. I thought they're this season's new item or something.

VS does have more weird stuff in store. I'm going to look for them next time.

I do

KK. I was very sad when they didn't renew her contract as an Angel

The new Angels sans Doutzen and Candice don't really cut it and don't really appeal to me at all. I think Doutzen is gorgeous in videos and such without the weird/bad photography. She usually looks angry when she's trying to do the sexy look and I remember seeing that photoshop page where she's usually furrowing her brows. But yeah, I see what you mean about her midsection for sure.

Yeah, I don't know why models have to go for the angry/sexy look all the time.

They all look so much prettier when they smile.

Barbara Palvin seems to be the up and coming VS model. Don't know much about her but she looks gorgeous. Think we'll see a lot more of her in the coming years.

Thanks for the tip, PP. I guess I'll have to hand wash them, or maybe machine wash in lingerie bags. Most likely the latter to avoid all the work.

Ohhhh. I will probably go to CVS. I don't know of any knick knack Asian stores around me aside from a dollarish store.

yes! Barbara Pavlin is goregous and she's only 19!!! When I saw her the first time I did a double take and wondered if that was Adriana Lima. I think she came onto the scene when Adriana went on maternity leave. I thought to myself that they found someone to replace her. Barbara is soooo much prettier though! I also like Bregje Heinen. She's soo pretty!!

Okay. I am a HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE person. Especially for posting this late. But I just wanted to give a huge shout out & ThAnK YoU to Anastasia! She was my SS an I have NO freakin clue how she got my all this stuff within the budget, the aromatherapy stuff is worth like $50+ alone!! I am super excited to have so many great new things to try. And I hope you can forgive me for taking a coon's age to post about it. I don't have internet at home so trying to link a phone pic through the SD mobile site was not easy, to say the least! I didn't want to post without a pic b/c I knew I would never get around to doing it separately
