« on: June 19, 2008, 07:02:03 AM »
Is anyone else liking these or am I turing into a hippie?

I love them, they are really cute!  Especially the first two.  But I could never wear any of them.  :(

1st two are off the meter, but they need a curvy woman to fill them out...

We wear clothes like that all the time, long flowing stuff is cooler. I've always liked that type of thing. First one is really nice...

I prefer the shape & cut of the 1st one. Not the most fond of the print, ...but I'd wear it.

In fact, I got an FFi cruise coming up. Not sure if I'm doing the Caribbean one in Jan or the Panamanian one in March. Where can I order one. Was that from a particular website or catalogue?

Top 2 were from the Nordstrom website

CQ, do you have any online sites to suggest?

I like all 3...

















Hung up in a closet somewhere. But I agree they need curvy women to model these. (hips, hips and more hips)

Those kind of dresses just don't work on curvy people (or short people for that matter!) unless they are made with a stretchy fabric. 

The girl in the first pic looks like Big Mal's sister!   :D

I could never get it zipped up my back (or pulled over and down) unless the material was super stretchy, which it never is with those kinds of dresses.  :(

That's what alterations and custom made clothes are for.  :)

Now you're talkin'! 
I can't do alterations and custom-made clothes. It's just too expensive for a shape shifter. I am a different size just about every day! 

(thanks fs! :-*)

Hmmm... I could see where that might pose a bit of a challenge.
Shape-shifter you say? {lol} Oh I could make a few good jokes about that, ...but I won't.  :)

btw - If you ever do decide to stay one size, you might find custom made isn't as expensive as most people think.
There are some excellent entrepreneurial seamsters & seamstresses who moonlight apart from their day jobs. When you think about it, alot of these same folks are the one making the clothes that many retailers then sell at retail with quite a bit of markup to cover advertising and store rents etc., A good seamstress can make your garment custom tailored to fit YOU, charge a higher price than what s/he would make from their employer and still provide it to you for less than what it would cost you in the stores ...although $14 is hard to beat pricewise.
