This is totally random, but I really do need some help.
H and I have a "reconnect" sort of date set for late October (recommended by my therapist). We're going to go out for a fancy dinner and then see Phantom of the Opera at the Fox. I have dress pants and nice tops that fit, but I really want to wear a dress.
This is what I want to wear:
(Vera Wang - Rent the Runway has it for $175.)
But my budget can't handle that hotness. I've been trying on dresses here and there and I just can't find one that feels comfortable. It's going to take me some time to drop weight, so I'm okay with spending $100 or so on a size 6 or size 8 LBD.
I'm 5'7" and 150 lbs ... Measurements are 38-30-40. Hourglass-ish? I've always felt like my hips are huge. I'm trying to embrace and accept/celebrate my body, but I feel so weird when I put a dress on.
I know I need to try stuff on, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

Yes, you have an hourglass figure. My hips and waist measure pretty close to yours, but you're bustier than I am. I'll see what I can find.
White House black market usually has some good dresses on sale. Do you have one near you?
Yes, this is where I found the last LBD when I needed one. Thankfully on clearance for $60. The necklace they tried to sell me with it cost almost as much though.

This is why I order them online and just return the ones I don't want
Perhaps you should spend some time reconnecting at the therapist's office together rather than expecting a fancy date with a little black dress is going to solve your issues.
tiramisu I love some of those dresses (especially the second one)! I'll have to see if I can get out this Saturday to try them on. I have a White House Black Market near me, so I'll definitely check that out too. Thanks everyone
doglove - I appreciate what you're saying. I don't expect this date to fix anything. In fact, there's still a chance that it might not happen at all. The dress is so much more for me than it is for my H. I've been extremely unhappy with and disconnected from my body. I'm heavier than I've ever been. And I know a little black dress isn't going to solve my issues with myself either, but I haven't bought anything really nice for myself in a while and I'd like to be able to have something nice that fits.
I ditto WHBM. I just bought two dresses there last week. I'm NOT a dress person at all. Just don't feel they are "me", but man... fell in love w/ the two I bought. And the one it geometric. SO much not me but can't wait to wear it.
I'm going to start paying more attention to their sales and start getting more dresses.
