About me- MrJJ's work thing is in a run of the mill banquet centre. He's in mgt. so I need to look fairly polished. I'm not thin, I have enormous saggy BF boobs and wear my weight in my mid-section (stomach, love handles, arms). I've lost weight since this was taken (maybe ~10 lbs) but this is recent-ish.
I carry my weight in my stomach and it helps "hide" that and looks pretty good (so says my friend that convinced me to buy it). I feel comfortable in it and not self conscious and all "omg is everyone staring at my stomach?!"
ETA: On the website it looks like the arms are saggy, but they aren't when it is on.
No idea. I picked this up today but will probably end up taking it back because the thing I thought I could wear it to isn't until february (I thought it was earlier).
I was going to pair it with cream tuxedo pants, but I was in between sizes and didn't feel like dealing with big alterations. So I just got the top, but now I'm very meh about the whole thing.
What I *need* is a black tie worthy dress, but that is proving to be kind of a pain to find in my town. Looks like I have to make a bit of a drive to a bigger mall for that.
Actually I have no idea if the man has holiday parties that are dressy or not. If so, I have 2 upscale consignment shops by me..one being across the street. Also I could hit up TJ Maxx, Forever 21 (worst case scenario) or my sister may have something we can put together. She should be a stylist the way she comes up with outfits and takes ideas from horrid to hot with just a few accessories.
I'm glad his Thanksgiving I was just invited to is a comfy leggings and football jersey he just got me kind of day. Hmph, Holidays are supposed to be fun not a ball of stress.
Gah! Now I want it! I don't think we're even going to H's work thing this year, so I have no use for it, but I WANT it, dammit!
I know right?
The catalog came in the mail and I have been good at staying away from the store and the website so I just casually thumbed through the magazine and saw it... and now I dream about it!
OK. I just ordered these two as well. My MIL is having a huge party on New Years Eve (its her 60th) and I need a dress for that as well.
Where is the white dress from? I love it.
Forever21. It is plus size but their plus size includes XL (not just 1x etc, etc) and F21 dresses are always so short on me I tried on a XL dress and they are perfect in length. I have a lace one from last year that is awesome.
The reviews say that the dress is more of a gold than white but I think I will like that even more....

Oh awesome, thanks! I think I might order one. I agree, I think I will like the gold even more as well.

How is Forever21's sizing? I'm usually about a 10-12 but I'm short (5'3). Small boobs, Carry most weight in my stomach. Should I be looking at their plus sizes? Junior sizing does not generally compliment me.
