shorbr Posted July 1, 2013 #2976 Share Posted July 1, 2013 So here I am, elegant night one, wearing a dress I got from Lisa and earrings I got from Sheri. Got several compliments on both. :)Just got home from our cruise an hour or so ago. Reading through posts and trying to catch up. Laundry will have to wait! So glad to see your news, Sheri. God is good ... all the time. Hope to hear equally great news from Marie ... haven't gotten wedding pictures back yet but her/my shoes are well represented in those photos and I'll post one asap! God bless all of you! Judy Judy...you look absolutely gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see photos of your wedding :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magandab Posted July 1, 2013 #2978 Share Posted July 1, 2013 (edited) But from the side, not so much. :-(. Can anyone else use this dress? I wear an 8 and sometimes a 10 and I'm 5'8" if tharpt helps you determine if it would fit you. I really wish it worked for me.

TNGALOHA Posted July 1, 2013 #2981 Share Posted July 1, 2013 This is a bunch of camis/tanks. They are marked mostly small and medium but they seem small to me - most measuring between 14 - 16 inches in chest when laid flat. Maybe good for working out? These are short camis - not long like they make now that are pulled down - these are going to show some skin, lol - except for the Banana Republic tank - it is black (there is another black cami) and size small and measures 14" across when laid flat and then 22.5 inches in length. It is a nice light weight almost finely ribbed texture - 100% cotton. The lavendar and white cami's have a shelf bra. Debbie debinnova at aol.com Debbie, Are these tops still available? I would love them if they are. I will send you an email also. Have a great day. Stay cool and dry. Gerry email is: thgaloha@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry email is: thgaloha@yahoo.com Gerry, yes, the group of small tanks and the black Banana Republic are available - so now all are gone...send me your address. I have some more nicer things to put up but now I have three packages to get out. That is the hardest part for me - figuring out how to ship and finding the time! Just learned about the "if it fits, it ships" tyvek envelope from Postal Service and going to try to go get some of them tomorrow! But I think if under 13 oz. still cheaper to do first class, right? Just can't track? What do you guys do for tracking, if anything? Debbie Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magandab Posted July 1, 2013 #2983 Share Posted July 1, 2013 If you go online to USPS.com you can buy and print your postage right there (including for the flat rate envelopes) and you get a discount on the postage amount and free tracking.

See I am a 12/14 up top (sometimes bigger - sometimes smaller) and I think the dress is made for someone YOUNGER than we are :) it fit me too - just was not 1005 comfortable with it - BUT see i think it looks great on you - better than I though on me sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debinnova Posted July 1, 2013 #2985 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Amy, Thanks for that - so after I purchase the postage, it will print out on a mailing label of some sort? That makes it easy! Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think even with Spanx, I might feel a little uncomfortable sashaying around in it. I do love it though and DH really loved it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty I think it looks good on you and if DH likes it .... In my case I just think my chest (the girls) were just WAY to big for the dress - put everthing out of proportion.

magandab Posted July 1, 2013 #2989 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Oh, what a great idea. Wear it as a beach cover over a black maillot. Now I need a new swimsuit. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to imagine wearing what is basically a girdle under a light-as-a-feather summer dress. :-/ Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app The spanx aren't bad! I wear them under all my summer tshirt dresses as well as maxis just to avoid panty lines, etc. After you wear them a few times, you'll be trying them under all sorts of outfits! FYI: Marshall's and TJMaxx often have them or other brands of the same things pretty inexpensive, and Target has another brand, cannot think of the name right now, that is made by spanx. Good luck, and keep the dress, you'll be happy with it once you figure out the undergarments...it looks great on you! :) Edited July 1, 2013 by KeithsKelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrcjr98 Posted July 1, 2013 #2991 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Gosh - I haven't had computer access for awhile - and I was so far behind on all the health news (that we got scolded for) and all the great fashions! Now I've got to find the "floataway lounge" recyclers thread and catch up with that. I love seeing the dresses on the new owners - I think everyone that was lucky enough to snag one of Marie's gorgeous offerings should definitely post their picture! Missed you all! Happy to be back!!

magandab Posted July 2, 2013 #2997 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I honestly prefer our thread on Floataway Lounge as our posts don't get lost in the jumble. Meanwhile, back to the topic --- all this free stuff is costing me a fortune! Now I need to go shopping for Spanx and a new swimsuit! The ones I have are two piece and the bottoms are skirted. Don't suppose anyone has a one piece leek suit in a size 10.... Nah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
