Newport news as some great stuff - you just have to search a bit. Bonus is that it's pretty cheap.
I have a couple dresses form there.

i got a nice black winter/fall dress at Zara yesterday on supersale (and a new bag on sale elsewhere, whew finally! oh, the organization), but main discovery here is that the only sane time to ever shop at Zara is before 10:30am

Nice dress! I just bought two on ebay, and I've got a few in my modcloth cart.
― kate78, Friday, 19 March 2010 03:19 (fourteen years ago) link
it looks more fitted on me bc i have bigger boobs. i think that model looks like she is playing dress up in her mom's clothes tbh.
oh mannnnn as soon as i can i am gonna be all up in modcloth's shit but atm my buying is strictly work-related :( (justifying this purchase because i got rid of 35 pieces at consignment shop yesterday and also hello new job = new wardrobe amirite???)
― tehresa, Friday, 19 March 2010 03:23 (fourteen years ago) link
It's always the boobs! Haven't wore a button-up shirt in years cos of the girls.
But yeah, new job def = new clothes. I'm selling a buncha crap on ebay and pouring it right back into the wardrobe. Circle of life, really. Wore a great denim shirtdress today that I got for $50 at anthro. Wish I had a pic to post...

do you think it could be styled for work? i will go check that store on the way to my gym that i am pretty sure carries it...
― tehresa, Friday, 19 March 2010 05:14 (fourteen years ago) link
totally! this store sells them with a matching tube top/bandeau, so that would give you back/bust coverage (the back is really low). the straps are really wide so you can wear it like a cap sleeve as well.
― just1n3, Friday, 19 March 2010 05:17 (fourteen years ago) link
Lovely dress, just1n3! Glad you are happy with it.

it's so cute! i found the perfect short navy cardi to wear with it, and i'm gonna pair it with my biker boots (boots & dresses are my favouritest thing ever).

well that didn't work out quite how i wanted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9-AHJRVLbA
― just1n3, Saturday, 20 March 2010 16:28 (fourteen years ago) link
gahhh my wedding dress didn't quite go how i expected it to, and i'm pretty disappointed: there was an issue with the middle of my bra showing at the front bc of the deep v which i thought i could easily solve on the day by putting in a few stitches to close the gap. totally didn't work well and the front looked really bad. wish i'd tried it first, but was so short on time. i think i'm gonna have the two long straps resewn so that they overlap more. also: the way i wanted to wear it didn't work out either - the shoulders kept falling down, which i was going to solve by using a pretty silver vintage sweater clip, but the clasps were too sharp and would've ripped the dress. so i ended up having to wear it a different way that didn't look so good in the back :( :(
― just1n3, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 16:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm really sorry to hear that. The whole mix-and-wrap aspect doesn't sit well with me tbh because things that are jerry-rigged often don't work quite as imagined -- exactly that kind of thing. ;_;
If you have two vintage clip-on earrings, maybe they would make good shoulder clips to hold the material at least partly bunched up? Or for more structure, you could hand-sew the fabric into little bunches and hide your stitching w the earrings.

i meant to put this up a month ago and forgot about it, but it is on the cover of the UK glamour this month and I was reminded. Alexander McQueen at his finest.
― mr. waffles (Nijoli), Wednesday, 31 March 2010 16:26 (fourteen years ago) link
xp the problem was that the way i wanted to wear it - the two long pieces coming over the shoulders and then back around underneath the arms, then wrapped around the waist - meant that the tension was pulling the shoulders off. i figured using a sweater clip at the top of the back would use the counter-pulling of the shoulders to keep them up. i don't think the sweater clasp was long enough anyway.
i ended up doing it a way that my friend had suggested, which was similar but covered a lot of the back up and left me with a big ugly knot in the middle of the back.
basically, the lesson learned here is 'don't leave things to the last minute'. the dress itself is perfect, i just wish i'd had time to figure out the front, and i could have gotten it repaired pretty easily so that the front pieces gave me better coverage.
― just1n3, Wednesday, 31 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link
tbh i was pretty much in tears (lol bridezilla) as i was getting ready: my mum was USELESS and only made me feel worse about the whole thing, i really wish i'd just gotten ytth to come help me get ready instead :/
