I bought this dress and had to return it. It fit nicely from the waist down – very comfortable and flattering – but it made my boobs look huge. I am a 34D but well-proportioned size 6 or 8, but this dress made me look like Joan from “Mad Men.” Not at all office appropriate for “busty” girls, but maybe for smaller-chested women.

There is nothing worse than a glaring typo. Our web designer added the press page within the past few days and we have not had a chance to review it. I am so sorry!

I think the gray would be cute with skinny jeans or a skirt, but definitely a casual piece. Just a heads up, I have a pair of Not Rated black patent pumps that I got at DSW for about $15, and they’re so uncomfortable that they’ve been banished to the back of my shoe rack.

ha! obv I m not advocating low riders. I do not flaunt personally. But if I have to get down on the ground and pick up a box, is it my fault that my normal pants ride down a little bit? Is it my fault that the guys in my office might then stare at my slightly exposed underwear? Which obviously I would be uncomfortable with? Seriously, it is our responsibility to manage the men’s impulses at work, beyond not being flagrant? I would never stare at a guy that way. I just hate the sexism that is still out there. I do not stare at men’s butts or whatever at work.

Is it really okay to match your dress with your shoes?

I used to work in a clothing store, and the “camisoles draw the eye” line was my secret weapon in mediating disputes between teenage girls and their mothers. I love that effect, myself. There aren’t many articles of clothing that can make an outfit more attractive AND more modest.

I’d agree that sometimes you still need to watch the cleavage with the shelf-bra camis, particularly if they don’t have adjustable straps. Still, as a not-so-curvy woman, I count anything that enhances my bust (or defines my waist) as a plus. It’s not about sexiness; it’s about working with the figure I’ve got.

I don’t like wearing camis with dresses because a lot of them end up leaving a line where they end or worse they have a tendency (on me) to roll up around my waist and cause bunching (smaller waist than hips issue I gues). My solution? Take a needle and thread, turn the dress inside out and stitch up the v-neck until you have a more work appropriate neckline. This doesn’t work on every dress but this one looks like the perfect candidate due to the slight overlap of fabric. There is usually a bit of a hem when you turn the dress inside out that you can stitch together. Just make really small stitches so there isn’t any gaping. And when you make your stitches on the hem-like fabric that doesn’t show, you can always rermove the stitching or fix mistakes and no one can tell!
And no, I am not any kind of accomplished seamstress. My sewing skills consist of this little trick and replacing buttons, much to my mother’s disappointment.

I’m on the west coast now, but used to live waaaay north, so, good luck with the storm, you guys. Slow down if driving.
