tulipa's black minidress problem... (1 Viewer)

[CieL]

Hate jay jays.. the cutting is so weird on their stuff..
The only thing that's intrigued me in there was this shirt that had a picture on the front... you scratch it and it smells like strawberries! Just like those stickers I used to get in primary school..

2 washes and the magic is gone

Just never wash it. Then it can always smell

 

[Tulipa]

So I'm pissed.

The dress makes me look fat and short. Sack style does not suit Sarah

 

[The_highwayman]

the horizontal lines probably don't help either :/

 

[Tulipa]

It wasn't so much that but the shape of the dress?

Because i'm only 5'2, it just sort of made me look like a square.

 

[The_highwayman]

so you need something more fitted?

i image you insomething 40's inspired ala Dita von teese...

:/

 

[Tulipa]

That would be cool... Big fan of tight waists and want a corset stat.

I don't know, so many dresses just make me look short or skanky which is frustrating.

 

[AlleyCat]

oh no...

...i thought itwould be perfect and really flattering on you honey. i'll keep my eyes open for something dita.

 

[Tulipa]

If I was three inches taller, it'd be fantastic.

I'm determined to find something in the states though.

 

[em_516]

is the dress for something in particular? or do you just want a little black dress?

 

[Tulipa]

I really want a little, simple black minidress.

Fitted preferably I'm thinking now.

 

[The_highwayman]

I found 2 dresses that i like, they're probably meant to be for somebody a little older though (and neither of them are black) and they're very $$$$$$.

BUT, at least if you give an opinion we might be able to find better priced, younger and black equivalents?


EDIT: they're not really mini-dresses either. probably around the knee/just above.


I tried

 

[The_highwayman]

found another:

it's a little bit audrey herburn, less Dita.

Not sure if it's too conservative or, again, too old (or too long)

 

[Tulipa]

Oh that's so sweet and those are really nice.

I'm just not sure what I want right now, I'm horribly picky

I have this gorgeous Ralph Lauren black dress but it's too long for me right now so I might get it taken up if possibly. That might solve my woes.

I'm basically thinking, cap sleeves or longer, above the knee, any kind of black with a simple neckline.

I'm thinking that without the balloon sleeves would be perfect. 3/4 sleeves would be good actually.

 

[AlleyCat]
