I'll probably be sharing more pictures next week, after it's acually finished, but I'm excited that it's FINALLY starting to look like the dress I'd envisioned.  I hope you all don't mind.  Some of the pics suck, but it is what it is.  My mom was frustrating me, acting as if she'd never seen a camera before, much less used one.  lol  So I took the ( Read more... )

Hey fatshionistas!

I've been searching for a prom dress and I'm in serious need of some help. I"m 5'7'', like 270ish pounds, and a size 24. I was thinking something floor length. Its difficult to find a dress because I'm only an A cup so a lot of strapless or halter dresses don't work as well due to my lack of boobs. I'm also a poor high school ( Read more... )

I am looking for ideas on finding a vintage or vintage looking prom dress. There is a local fundraiser happening called revenge of the prom. It will be an awesome night where we get to choose a dress from our favorite era and help out a charity.

Fatshionistas, I desperately need some help.  My husband and I have made the big splurge and are attending an inaugural gala on Jan 20.  The gala is "semi-formal/black tie" and I'm having a fatshion brain lapse.  So far I've found two different dresses that I think might work, but I'm completely confused about accessories and shoes.

I'm going to a fancy-pants holiday dance this Saturday, and I have the dress already--it's an igigi item from three years ago, no longer available, basically it's a sleeveless, flowy, floor-length job, burgundy stretch satin with a rhinestone clasp pinning the decollete Marilyn neckline even lower down to the empire waist ( Read more... )

I have a ball to go to in t minus 7 days, and I can't find a dress! I have been to David's bridal (terrible selection for my sizes), JC Penneys (I saw ONE prom dress that was sized 19/20...I'm a 22/24, the "women's dresses" were total muumuus), and Torrid (cute short dresses, but the long fancy ones looked terrible on me since i'm not 5'8"). I ( Read more... )

Hi ladies! I posted here a while back about a wedding I'm attending. Thanks to everyone who commented and pointed me towards what I needed! I got a black and beige dress... and while I love the fit it's a little black and beige. It needed some color so I got a cute shrug and purse to go with it. But I'm not sure if it goes together. Whatdaya think ( Read more... )
