KamloopsCruisers Posted June 21, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Vavoooom! What a great sexy dress - I love it! Hope you're the lucky bidder - or is there a "buy it now" price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgabriel Posted June 21, 2006 #3 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Wow - what a stunner! That is a sexy woman's dress. No way that could be confused with a mother-of-the bride or bridesmaid dress! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navywife06 Posted June 21, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Thanks. It is a sexy dress, that's for sure. I'm not going to do it though. I don't know this designer very well, and don't know how it will fit. A good reason for a trip to Nordstroms though, just to get an idea of how his dresses fit.... Thanks!

thepinkpanther Posted June 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted June 21, 2006 That is a BEAUTIFUL dress! Check out Nordstroms and make sure it fits good, and get it! Seeing this makes me even more excited about cruising, and makes me think my little black dress needs an upgrade!!;) Good idea about checking out ebay too!

mrsred Posted June 21, 2006 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I LOVE the back of that dress! WOW! Um...that would be a thumbs up as far as opinions go :) ~e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navywife06 Posted June 21, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I was lying in bed thinking about the dress and knew that I'd feel horrible if I let it go, and it's a great price. So, I bid on it!! If it doesn't fit, I'll just relist it, no worries. Ahhhh, now I can sleep.. well in two hours when the auction is over. With that dress I'd BETTER be up to go to the gym in the morning!! Thanks for all of your opinions on the dress. I'll post tomorrow when I know. Exciting!!

RachelD Posted June 21, 2006 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I loooove that dress. That is one dress that if I saw it on the rack at a department store, I would have to buy it. Some dresses sing to you and you just have to listen. It is sexy and classy at the same time. Definately not your typical black dress. Now I want to go on a cruise just to have an excuse to buy one like that! (Too bad we just remodeled the kitchen and did WDW with the kids a few weeks ago!)

Gotta love ebay... I wish I could wear a back like that but no bras work for my figure that allow a low back. Let us know if you get it and thanks for looking out for mine! As for David Meister, his stuff packs great, fits great and looks great:D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navywife06 Posted June 21, 2006 Author #12 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I got it! I woke up this morning and second guessed myself. I was thinking "is it a stripper dress?" (not that there's anything wrong with stripper dresses, just not my thing) , but then I looked at it and felt better. It looks like David Meister cuts his dresses generously in terms of sizes. Do you find that to be the case CaviarGirl? As far as bras go, ugh, I didn't even think about that. I'm not big, 36b, but someparts are more empty than they used to be!! I'm going to have to get out the duct tape.... Running to the beach, have a great day all.. thanks so much for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepinkpanther Posted June 21, 2006 #13 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'm so excited that you won! Last night I had to go on ebay and found a nice selection of David Meister dresses, I bid on a black & white kneelength cocktail dress. Now to find something for formal night...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we will all have to wait (patiently) until it arrives - I'm anxious to hear how it fits, but especially how it makes you feel. You're going to be stunning! PS - About the tape - practice, practice, practice - it takes a bit of effort to get it - or should I say them right.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted June 21, 2006 #16 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Glad you won it. I LOVE it, but the bra issue is such a pain for me I could never wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsred Posted June 23, 2006 #17 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Congrats! Let us know when it arrives! This is *almost* as fun as shopping myself ;) Sorry your have to wait another day for your hubby. I know what that is like...hope the time passes quickly! ~e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aring75 Posted June 23, 2006 #18 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Gorgeous! I'd wear my NuBra with that. I have one with a similar back and it works perfectly. I can't wait to hear what you think when you get it! :) Hmmmm...now I want a new dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navywife06 Posted June 23, 2006 Author #19 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I feel like today is all about waiting!!I know that my husband isn't coming home today, and I know that my dress won't be here today, but I still feel like I'm just waiting. I'll surely post as soon as I have the dress in hand, on body. It's funny and wives who share this life with me may or may not agree, but when my husbands away, which he is a lot, I am in my groove of doing things, getting to the gym everyday, going to the beach with my son, and the time flies by.......until today or even yesterday.... time just stops. Because it's so soon that I'll see him again, the anticipation is making the clock run very sluggishly. What is a nu-bra? Sounds very interesting.... Are they the glue on things? How do those things work? I do love this site.. Sharing my excitement about the dress, the cruise, the family, your dresses, cruises, families, good news, not so good news..... Thank you all so much.... not only for your compliments on the dress, but just for letting me into a part of your lives and sharing part of mine. I'm not leaving.. no way, I just wanted to say that.

marie24 Posted June 24, 2006 #20 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi, I also know what the Navy wife life is like. My husband is retired Navy (Seabees). I still can remember the anticipation of his homecomings. His deployments were always at least 6 months or more. I really like the dress you have chosen. Where and when is your cruise? I hope it is wonderful for you and your husband. Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTKSB Posted June 24, 2006 #21 Share Posted June 24, 2006 This dress looks very similar to the dress I will be wearing. I love the idea to wear silver sandles. You have great taste.:) Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane110 Posted June 24, 2006 #22 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Navywife, I'm so thrilled for you that you got the dress! It's just gorgeous! I believe that David Meister is a full missy cut. As for a bra, look into the paste on ones - I call them chicken cutlet bra's - they work well for many people. I hope the dress fits nicely and that you DH comes home soon!

thepinkpanther Posted June 27, 2006 #25 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Navywife, Did you get your dress yet? I was outbid on the nice black and white number by DM, but was able to snag a nice sundress by him that I think is just perfect for non-formal dinner or a show in the theatre. I was even smart & sneaky enough to use my bf's paypal account to pay for the auction! Can't wait till I get it and I hope it fits!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
