I finally broke down last week and bought the Target Kimono dress for a brunch I had to go to on Friday.
I had both DH and my mother approve the dress to confirm that I did not look like a pregnant whale in it (note: I am not pregnant), and they both told me it was cute.
Then we spent all weekend at the golf tournament in town, and I saw THREE other women wearing that kimono dress. Each of the three was very overweight, and that dress was not at all flattering on any of them.
I then decided I probably didn't look nearly as cute in that dress as I thought I had :-(
Perhaps I should take a photo of myself in it and use it as motivation to exercise!
After lurking on MM a few months ago, I tried this dress on at Target. Awful. Now, I am not pregnant, but have had a baby w/in the last year, so I could stand to lose few. I'd have to lose a lot to make that dress look good.
Now, are y'all talking about the short one or the long version? I have both, the maxi is awesome and the short one is extremely unflattering.
I need to see a picture of someone -- anyone -- wearing the maxi because I don't understand how even Giselle could look good in a maxi version.
Ha ok, I should have said - in comparison to the short version, the long version looks awesome. I'd show a pic, but since I look nothing like Gisele, I don't want to be ripped apart.
I tried it on this weekend and thought while it would be great for lazy days around the house but I couldn't see it as a going out in public dress. It wasn't totally unflattering but not the best dress I have worn.
