Black dress

Inspired by Anne Hathaway's blue dress she wore in BrideWars, I tried to find something in my closet to match. This is as close as I got.
I don't wear this dress often, because I think it makes me look pregnant (I don't think an Empire waist is the best look for someone who is busty, despite what magazines say). But, it's a short black dress that I shortened even more to hit my knee. Not sure if I like it with a sweater or not, but since it's still slightly cool out, I'll keep the sweater on till it warms up.

I prefer it without the sweater...it's such a cute dress, why hide it? :)
Love the sandals, too!

Jessica said...

I think it's really cute, better w/o the sweater...but who wants to be cold! And great shoes too!

I think it looks super cute on you!!! =)

I don't see why you don't like it on you! Everyone kinda has that "preggo" look with a poofy empire waist - it is adorable...it highlights the smallest part of you and is meant to be poofy elsewhere. You should wear more things like this!

I like how your jewelry picks, too!

Love the dress, not crazy about the white sweater, maybe another color, or even black. Also love the jewelry.

You look so cute! Loving the sandals!

Kristin said...

Just a thought (from another busty girl) ... if you make the skirt a little more narrow, you totally kill the preggo look!! It's hard to find a dress made like that because most people aren't lucky enough to be built like us :)

Kristen said...

I saw you in person and thought you looked great. This dress is cool because it can look really different depending on your accessories--it's very versatile. Fun sandals, too.

It looks like that dress was made for you. I mean, it's just truly awesome. I too have a similar designed black dress which I got from Gap
