Re: Lost My Mind, Ordered This Dress

Frankly, I'm not crazy about the two-toned look on top. Have seen many photos of women wearing this type of thing, and they never look that great (my opinion).

Re: Lost My Mind, Ordered This Dress

It just arrived. I'm afraid to try it on because if it doesn't fit I might shed a tear. It's so gorgeous and glamorous. So thick and substantial too. Already ordered symphony tix to go with my Mom in lieu of Christmas gifts.

 

I think I died a thousand fashion deaths when I took it out of the box😂😆

LOVE it!!  It's stunning!

 

As for your arms, do weights for your arms - and do dips.  If you are not sure what to do, go to:  www.bodybuilding.com.  They have videos of how to do the exercises with proper form.  And do cardio.  And of course, watch what you eat Smiley Happy

 

You'll be rocking that dress come the holidays!!

@Qshopper1991 I've done weights before, hand weights. They do help.

 

Two years ago I was almost 15 pounds lighter and a size smaller. Stress was the reason, so I wouldn't want that again for that reason. If the dress is tight it will motivate me.

 

Jon Hamm is going to ask me out and I'll wear that. Yep. I just read that he says it s**** being single. (My edit).

Here he is with his former love interest...she of the ugly dress and grumpy countenance.  Once he saw you walk into the room all sparkling inside and out it was all over for her...

Re: Lost My Mind, Ordered This Dress

@MacDUFF Yes I did, thank you for asking☺ It is body conscious and my usual instinct would be to get a size up due to being self conscious. But I'm not going to. I will lose some weight and wear a shaper. I don't even have curvy hips but it makes it look as if I do. I love the top, because I'm very small busted but it doesn't emphasize that. 

 

It's thick and stretchy so it has a bit of a shaper quality. I have never owned anything like it and it makes me feel like a red carpet person.  I need a higher heel or get it shortened, and I am tall. The arms don't look too bad either, amazingly enough.

 

The illusion layer is nude color, the glittery studs are silver. I think I would just wear Diamonique earrings and no other jewelry.
