50s style dresses....but updated

OK I have been waiting my whole life for that style to come back I swear I love them! You know what I mean, the full skirts (but not with the poofy stuff underneath) but kind of like Rachel's dress on friends last night. I bought a skirt at H&M and I love it. But we have a wedding next weekend and I wanted to get a dress.

I know Macy's has a few, anyone know of any other stores that might?

I LOVE those tooooooooo! Have you checked Forever 21? I saw a couple at Infinity last night.

I know exactly what you mean. There is a pretty black dress from Ann Taylor like that. I have seen it in magazines. I think there might be white flowers on it, but it is primarily black.

Great! I will check them out - I just think they look so classy and are pretty flattering to different bidy types.

You should check out Bloomingdales, I was there last week and they have a line of Down w/ Love clothing and phew there were a couple of dresses that I loved but they were for now out of my price range. They were about in the upper $200.00.

I saw one last night in the Victoria Secret's catalog. Black double v neck with an a line type skirt. It was on sale for $85. I can't access vs from work.

Heck I like those styles because I have a big butt and those skirts hide it! That black and white one by ABS (the first one with the spaghetti straps) that Misty posted is very similar to what I want for my RD!
