you can have it made to measure or change the sleeves, neckline and length for $7.50 extra, hope they turn out good because that is awesome!

3/18/2011 8:18:27 PM

i just had some retail therapy at the limited

will post pics and show you guys the damage i did later ;-)

3/19/2011 8:59:44 PM

^ They have a gorgeous jewel-tone green dress there I've been lusting after. Pics of what you got please!

3/19/2011 10:59:41 PM

just ordered this dress on ideeli




looks short on the model but i'm sure she is super tall and one inch big so hopefully since i'm short it won't be that short on!

3/20/2011 2:17:57 PM

looks like she has two sets of titties. winner.

3/20/2011 2:21:22 PM

don't see it

but it does look a little tight up top

3/20/2011 2:25:12 PM

well i dont think that looks good on that style of dress to shove the boobies up that high, because then you have where they are supposed to be just below it. Or maybe she just needs to pull it up... But I'm sure it will look better on you lol.

3/20/2011 2:29:31 PM

she seems like she is wearing a size too small on top

i ordered a small after debating between the small and xs. but the bust measurements are what made me go for the S

i hope it doesn't squeeze my boobs. if it does, i'll just send it back haha

3/20/2011 2:35:08 PM

maybe i'm just jealous cause you got boobs to squeeze haha

i got this at Kohl's. The back is crocheted, I like it. Too short for these dresses, but I like them anyway!

3/20/2011 2:36:42 PM

meh not really boobs hahaha. i have small boobs.

i LOVE maxi dresses and i am also too short for them

that is really cute!!! i might have to look there now. i wear them anyway even though i'm short. i love them. soooo comfy

3/20/2011 2:38:18 PM

^ and ^^, I actually think maxi dresses look FAR cuter on short ladies than us avg/tall females. You might have to take the hem up an inch or two, but overall it's adorable!

I feel like a walking sack of fabric when I wear them

3/20/2011 5:41:03 PM

lol sack o fabric!

i bet you look great in them! tall people do look great even though it *IS* a lot of fabric lol.

it'd probably help if you got one that wasn't 100% cotton/jersey then it is less like a pile of fabric. or i mean...i'd think so anyway! i don't know since i cannot be tall and then tell you

3/20/2011 5:45:55 PM

Whenever I see maxi dress I think of a dress made from maxi pads

3/20/2011 8:33:00 PM

^^ hahahaha. i did too. i think awhile back (like last summer) i posted in this thread when i finally understood maxi

i was like "ohhh maxi. like mini dress...like maximum. got ittt"

but yea....maxi....still always gonna bring up always in my mind. i still love the dresses though.

3/21/2011 1:12:48 AM

Good I'm glad it's not just me

3/21/2011 9:38:09 AM

I hosted a baby shower yesterday and there was somebody at the party that makes tutus for toddlers

I really want to learn how to make tutus now. She had made a Wolfpack tutu that was so freakin adorable.

Doing a little googling and it seems like there is such a thing as a "no sew tutu". Has anybody ever made a tutu before? And does "no sew" really mean no sew (I own no sewing machine or needles)?

3/21/2011 2:26:40 PM

I would imagine it wouldn't be all too difficult. You just need elastic and material.

Plus the crinoline or whatever you call it can be cut and you don't have to worry about fraying which is a bonus.

3/21/2011 2:40:38 PM

These came in today!!!! Can't wait to go home and paint my toes!!!

3/21/2011 3:31:25 PM

Anyone have a rulala invite or whatever? my boss is wedding planning and came across it so now she's obsessed. Thanks

oh and GREEN JAY those dresses are freaking awesome! I can't wait until I have some money to burn on this site

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 3:48 PM. Reason : V thanks hun!]

3/21/2011 3:45:08 PM

I got you...I'll send it now

3/21/2011 3:45:42 PM

dropdeadkate

I haven't seen you in awhile, but from your curly hair pictures it looks like you've lost weight. Looking good lady

3/21/2011 4:08:55 PM

Fhqwhgads

I make tutus and they are basically “no sew”. I take a 1/2" elastic and cut it to the length you want- which would be slightly smaller than the waist of who you want it to fit. For my toddler nieces I used a 15" piece of elastic. The only sewing is sewing the two ends of the elastic together to make a loop- although I have seen people stapling the ends together. Then I take stripes of toile and knot it around the elastic.

To make it even more so no sew instead of elastic use a ribbon but leave 10” tails that don’t have toile on them and tie it around the girls waist with a bow.

3/21/2011 4:20:56 PM

thinking about ordering this....

3/21/2011 5:07:27 PM

thats cute! looks really short though

i am trying to get my pics uploaded but tww doesn't want them. i will post them later when i can upload them somewhere

3/21/2011 5:14:04 PM

Yes....it probably is, but I'm 5'1''.....I'm sure that model is 5'10'' or so

3/21/2011 5:18:32 PM

That looks like an avg. looking lenght dress, not a fan, reminds me of Candy Stripers dresses

3/21/2011 5:24:23 PM

^^^^ Zac Posen for Target right?
I went to target to look at their re-released designer dresses and thought that one was beyond cute. I tried it on and it should have been illegal how short it was-and I have no problem with short dresses. It also was very low cut and I am not sure where I could have ever worn it. I am 5'6" though so you might have better luck. Also I normally wear a 0 at stores but had to try a 5 for it to fit over my chest haha.

I hope it works better for you because it is SO adorable.

[Edited on March 21, 2011 at 7:43 PM. Reason : .]

3/21/2011 7:43:30 PM

I actually bought that dress today! I'm 5'8", and it wasn't short at all on me. I did have to go a couple sizes up... I normally wear a 6 and had to go with an 11 so it fit right in the chest. It'll be a really cute summer dress.

3/21/2011 9:17:02 PM

wow. i can't believe yall had to go up so many sizes. i don't wear a ton of dresses but i've never run into that issue with any kind of clothing

3/21/2011 9:22:17 PM

I like the dress that kandywall posted
