Dress yes or no

The navy one looks awesome on you 2chatter.

You all would not believe how common it is for people to travel with sex toys or very unusual stuff. Nothing phases me in my job and I'm sure TSA would not be phased by anything, sex toys, stick on bras in men's luggage, etc.

The navy one is perfect! Love it!

k3am - I don’t know how you shop online! I tried three Tahari dresses for example and they were not consistent between 4, 6 and 8. At all. Then add in other brands? I am a 4-10 in dresses.

Rent the Runway makes it very easy. I can see pictures of real people wearing the dress and the have it only show people who are my height, weight, and bust size. I order my top pick in two sizes (second size is free) and then a backup dress for a reduced price. And if you hate the dress (I have in the past) they’ll overnight you some more options for free. This year my top pick wasn’t available with a backup size and my second choice wasn’t available in any size.

Thread stealing for a moment... sorry?ish?

Top choice:



Runner up that’s coming in two sizes. I am a bit worried it will make me bottom heavy.

Ooooh. I love the second one! I don’t think you’ll look bottom-heavy at all.

Both of those are beautiful k3am!

I want an excuse to wear something that fancy! Our holiday party is more the semi-formal, short dress vibe. No full length.

DH’s work parties seem to alternate every year.. one year some random theme no one understands that’s on the casual side (ranch chic.. casino casual) and the next is an easy black tie. There is no possibility to being overdressed and I love it.

I love the first one. Very classy.

[2chatter]

I love both! IIRC you have great shoulders and arms, so that will balance the fullness of the second one.

If pressed I would choose the first because of the fabric. It’s gorgeous. And I am feeling sparkly, so...

[k3am]

I love any excuse to wear over the top sparkles.

Jealous of the holiday parties. DH's one used to include spouses and was at steakhouse every year. Which was fun and fancy. However, due to budget cuts its just the employees at somewhere less nice. Although mine is drinking in a conference room with the dean at my university, so maybe I shouldn't complain? We have alcohol and finger food, and its at like 3pm during finals week.

I love the purple one!!!!

I want to dress up somewhere. DH's work rents out the movie theater for families to see a movie and has Santa and things like that. It is nice. We have a potluck at lunch

I think DH's company has a Christmas party, but we never have a babysitter, so he never goes. They do rent out 6 flags every other year.

My company parties are the lamest ever. I kind of wish they would just stop having them because they are so lame. And there is always tons of drama about planning them because the previous administrative assistant was kind of incompetent. One year we did a bowling party which was nice because we didn't have to do anything but show up and I didn't have to hear the drama. But the other ones, were terrible except the food.

k3am I love them both!

2chatter the navy is gorgeous on you!
