G'AH I need a dress!

Sammy-Mae · November 2012

Okay ladies, I need a dress, budget is $200, I am 5'2" a size 14 (sigh) and a DDD (yay for no longer being an H!) I was just informed by my MIL that a party we are going to in in two weeks that was supposed to be dress casual is actually "high cocktail". Which I am told is super fancy without the ball gown.

I HATE dress shopping because the tatas are so big that I find dresses really hard to shop for, also being short waisted (well short everything really) means that an empire waist just makes me look pregnant.

Help!

Edit: Without knowing the event or your coloring, I really like this one:

They have it in Navy, Red, and Champagne. I like the Navy one, personally. I am
DD, so I always think about what type of bra I can wear in dresses, and this one looks like a good bra with support would be feasible...

Buy something that fits in the chest and find a good tailor.

I have a short waist and big boobs, and empire waist dresses make me look pregnant too. No go. You need something with a fitted, natural waist.

That's beautiful! I'll buy it from you if Sammy won't. I'll have to have it tailored since I am flat chested. I'll just have the boobs made into a muff.
