My lovely FMIL got me a gift card to Victoria's Secret and I'm online and can't decide what to get. She was very generous and gave me a $100 gc.I like this dress, but am not sure if I want to buy it...http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=EE-227427&page=2&cgname=OSCLODRSVIL&rfnbr=2667&atp=aOpinions anyone?

That would show every fat roll on my body. But if you don't have that problem I think it's pretty cute

I think its cute. You would almost have to be shaped the model to pull it off though, IMO.

Brie2010 · September 2009

NMS. And also you would have to be a rail to pull it off.

crfische · September 2009

Oh lord, that thing is ugly.

Night_Sprite · September 2009

Do you weight 3.5 pounds?

bigvoice3 · September 2009

*shaped LIKE the model. my bad. :-)

Have you ordered a lot of clothes from VS before? I have OK luck with their lingerie, but their clothes never fit me. FYI I'm small busted and not particularly curvy, and have an easy time fitting in to most clothes.

That dress would look terrible on me because I'm so short. I think you'd have to be really tall and skinny to pull it off.

I think that would be a very hard dress for 99% of the population to wear. I think its super cute in theory though.

I'm pretty petitie (5'0, around 110). The only problem I usually have is length. I'm just worried it would be too long. I know I could go get it altered, but I don't like having to go do that.

It's cute but i couldn't wear it.I've been eying this one since the fall catalog came out:[url]http://tinyurl.com/mfy84t[/url]

Petite women should stay away from drop waists...it can make your legs look short (although the dress may be fine on you).If I were you, I'd get the VS wrap dress.

MiniSteph · September 2009

I've ordered quite a few things from VS, and it's usually a hit or miss for me. Being short makes things hard sometimes. I may not get the dress though because most likely it will look way too long and big on me.

Brie2010 · September 2009

Ditto the wrap dress : http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=EE-218082&page=1&cgname=OSCLODRSVIL&rfnbr=2667&atp=aI have it, wore it in our e-pics and wear it ALL THE TIME. It's the perfect casual dress and would still look great in fall with a cardigan thrown over it.

pumpkinpumpkin · September 2009

you're too short for it.

pumpkinpumpkin · September 2009

Brie, I love wrap dresses, can you make that link clicky or tiny for me? I can't c&p 2+ lined urls. In to anything.

Brie2010 · September 2009

Here you go, P2:[url]http://tinyurl.com/kk5za6[/url]I love wrap dresses too. I'm pretty sure that 99% of the dresses I own are v-neck and wrap-style.

loletta_tq · September 2009

I own this dress in blue and the fit is great and it is comfortable. Just so you know the pictures on the website are alot brighter than the actually fabric. It also washes nicely too.

pumpkinpumpkin · September 2009

HAHA! Thanks...those are my BM dresses. My one BM ordered 3. 2 in brown - one for the wedding, and one just to have (so she didn't wreck the wedding one), and one in lily pad.

Brie2010 · September 2009

That's funny. I seriously want to order it in a few more colors. The only problem I have with it is that wrapping the sash twice leaves you with a really long bow, and wrapping it three times can make you look a little thick-waisted. But I definitely like it.

tenofcups4me · September 2009

I wouldn't attempt and I'm smaller than you are. I think you'd have to be stick skinny, not an ounce of fat, to look good in that dress.

nda_roxybabe · September 2009

I've been wanting that dress for forever now. You do have to be quite skinny to pull it off though.
