luckyprincess Posted January 18, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Well, I got the dress today that I ordered on ebay. Some of you may remember I was so excited because I fell in love with it! I dieted (Sobe) since Halloween for this cruise and wanted to get a dress that showed off some of my curves... What do you think? Its not the greatest pics and my puppy smeared her little nose all over the mirror trying to figure out what mommy was doing, but here goes.... I got Spanx and they do smooth you out nicely. They are pretty comfortable but I dont' feel as though I'm being 'sucked in' with these. Maybe a higher strength elastic would feel 'tighter'?

luckyprincess Posted January 19, 2008 Author #7 Share Posted January 19, 2008 THANKS!!! You're all so sweet! I'm so excited, I feel like a kid on Christmas!:p My OTHER gown came, too - it fits great, even has a little room in it that looks fine. I'm going to wear it for the second formal night in case I gain any 'water weight' from the cruise!:D I'll stick to my diet to get onto the ship and into my first nights formal gown. Then its a free for all cheat fest!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked for them and can't find it??? Hi, check www.qvc.com and they sell them, although now it seems some of the better dept stores offer them now as well.

Congratualations on your weight loss. I have a question though. What style spanx did you get? Is your dress fairly low in the back? I have a halter type evening dress that is pretty clingy and I was thinking of getting spanx for my waist area, but it looks like they come up too high in the back. Your help would be appreciated! Enjoy your cruise and your new dress.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latch Posted January 19, 2008 #19 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Spanx are awesome. I have seen them at Lane Bryant, Dillards and Stein Mart recently. I love that dress, it is fabulous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyprincess Posted January 19, 2008 Author #20 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi, Well thank you so much for all the nice words! It means a whole lot:). I got the dress on ebay - the seller had the measurements listed and I had my fingers crossed :p but it was right on. It came with a beautiful beaded scarf for my shoulders, too, and with shipping I paid $42! So happy! The Spanx, I also got on ebay. They are the higher power panty in size A. The come all the way up to my ribs, and smooth all the way down to my middle thigh. Love them! It doesn't take any inches off (oh, well!:rolleyes: ) but it does smooth out the bumps! With shipping I paid $27. At Lord and Taylor they were around $50. It was brand new, by the way. Otherwise might be gross!:eek: Oh, and love2vacation, the dress comes up high, about where a bra strap would be, in the back. The spanx come up right to that so I don't think this style of spanx would work for your gown, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

celbercrz333 Posted January 20, 2008 #22 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I like it a lot. Are you a brunette, redhead or blonde? What color eyes and is your skin tone light, medium? I think anyone could wear this color. Good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone could wear this color. Good choice. Thank you! I have long red hair, blue eyes, fair skin. The dress brings my eyes out a lot!

GeorgetteCruz Posted January 22, 2008 #24 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi LuckyPrincess, it's me...the one who wants your dress! I'm so glad it fits and you are still happy with it now that you have it. I did find a dress, that is ok, but nothing great. I got it as a back-up, as it was cheap enough, or I can consign it. I may head to the "city" with a friend next weekend to do a bit more looking. I still adore your dress, and really look forward to seeing more pics! Yeah for you!
