To wear to a Sunday afternoon wedding?

I'd like strapless, but any other ideas are welcome.

Thanks Kim for posting, I MUST have that JCrew dress. I'm going online now to spend money I ain't got

Are the JCrew dresses true to size?

Thanks Kim

Last question, I promise

Does it look like it can be easily taken in?
I'm wavering between sizes b/c of the diet, but I figure go w/the bigger one (10) and then if it gets too big take it in?

I'm on the site right now

Re: Can someone pleaase help me find a pretty strapless, straight dress...

Ah forget it I went w/my instinct and got the 10

Misty you'll hold it up just fine

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Yes, it can be taken in at the seems on the sides. I am sometimes between a 2 and 4, got the 2 and fits perfectly. You will probably need to take it in a bit, but thats a good thing. Don't you feel so skinny when your clothes are too big??

Re: Can someone pleaase help me find a pretty strapless, straight dress...

Yes I do Kim
I figured a 10 was safe, b/c it's A-line, those are usually easy to take in, and you're so right I like feeling nice and skinny.
If it's way too big I'll exchange it.
Thanks

No problem, I hope you love it as much as I do. Did you get black or white? I am 2 clicks away from getting it in white. I figure I could wear it to my engagement party...lol, months away.

Re: Can someone pleaase help me find a pretty strapless, straight dress...

I got it in Black, so I could wear it to a wedding. BUT I was soooooo tempted to get it in white also.
After I get it if it looks good on me, I probably will get the white if it's still in stock
First I have to see if my boobies cooperate

Altho' my Bride days are done, I figure I could wear the white to a nice brunch or dinner w/my hubby

Re: Can someone pleaase help me find a pretty strapless, straight dress...

If your 'boobies' don't cooperate, Calvin Klein makes a great strapless bra as per Colleen. I went and bought it and she was 100% correct!

You don't need to be a bride to wear white, I think it's so so cute!

Good luck with the dress!!!

Re: Can someone pleaase help me find a pretty strapless, straight dress...

That's my dilemma Liz, the boobies. All was fine and good in a strapless wedding gown, but every day life...HA.

I think we should all get together and wear our new dresses.
