cb at sea Posted July 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I think it's a great dress! Don't worry about your height--tall is gorgeous! And, you will look regal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted July 24, 2008 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2008 The dress is very pretty. Don't worry about the heel height of your shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie_Gal Posted July 25, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I love that dress. Very elegant. Does the website state the length? I am 5'10", and even with flats a lot of formal dresses are too short for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted July 25, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It is a beautiful gown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevoli Posted July 25, 2008 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It's a gorgeous dress. How do you wrangle in the girls in a one-shoulder dress like that? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddiesky Posted July 25, 2008 #8 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Beautiful dress!!! May I ask where you purchased it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnc411 Posted July 25, 2008 #9 Share Posted July 25, 2008 It is a lovely dress, I am the same size but could not ware that dress because I just can't ware a strapless bra, glad that you can :) Cori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaeVynn Posted July 25, 2008 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I found a strapless/convertable bra at Lane Bryant that I'll be using for my formal wear... seems very well able to keep the girls well presented ;) It's part of the Cirque collection. Has regular and clear straps, will do closer or wider straps, cross straps, or halter, or one/no straps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie_Gal Posted July 26, 2008 #13 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I have seen that same dress on ebay, so you might want to check there if you decide to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzkitty Posted July 26, 2008 #14 Share Posted July 26, 2008 It is a beautiful dress-you will look great in it. I find a "minimizer" bra helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted July 26, 2008 #15 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I think it is very nice. You got my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinestyles Posted July 27, 2008 #16 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I love that dress and think it'll work great, and here's another idea: I always find lots of gorgeous plus size evening wear at the Saks Fifth Avenue Outlets- sometimes it's 90% off or more and I buy it to re-sell on ebay. Anyway, if you're looking for some really nice pieces, they have Carmen Marc Valvo, Marina Rinaldi, Dana Buchman, and other high-end evening wear in plus sizes.

Kikkycat Posted July 31, 2008 #18 Share Posted July 31, 2008 It's a beautiful dress. I wanted to also pass along a website I've found for plus sized formals. I have yet to try them, but once I become addicted to cruising (which you just *know* will happen! :D ) I'm sure I'll order from them. http://www.sydneyscloset.com/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ehpride Posted July 31, 2008 #19 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I think it's beautiful! It looks very elegant and sophisticated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLite Posted August 5, 2008 #20 Share Posted August 5, 2008 With smaller hips and nice sized gals you will look great in this style. If it's a jersey fabric make sure you do the 3 way mirror with the underlings on. Don't need anyone thinking you have flab when it's muscle in there! And wear the size heel you like.
