STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I love that dress! I think it has the potential to be overwhelming if you're 5'4", but should be ok with heels.

I love, love that dress!~

pooh on whomever said they didn't like it! that dress is stunning. elegant yet very stylishly forward. i think that as long as you keep everything else to a minimun in the outfit (no flashy jewelry, no flashy shoes, no flashy purse, simple hair) then you will be fine. but you will prolly need to wear high high heels, like three inches. the color is fantastic on too. you will be the belle of the ball.

I agree with everyone else - I it in theory, but you'd need to try it on to know if it would work on you. 

Are you normally able to wear full skirts and such?

 

bex- that dress is beautiful!  the only things worth noting:

• imo it's a dress for the girls.  if that makes sense.  it's puffy (taffeta) so a lot of times when girls have brought their bfs in, they don't like it.  when they bring their girlfriends in, they love it.


• it's hard for anyone who has a short torso or thicker waist, when this happens, i tell people to tie the bow in the back because the bow can be overwhelming.


• it's a loud dress (sorry, i thought it was worth noting).


• and last but not least, it sold out in black and red within a week at our store and the other chicago store (it was showcased in all bcbg windows...) so you might have to order it from a bcbg store in order to try it on (PM me if you need help finding it).

that being said...it is beautiful, and i would have totally bought it just to have it, if it didn't sell out.  also, and this is probably the most important, based from your posts, i think it TOTALLY fits your personality and if anyone could wear it, you could!  it's a perfect NYE dress.  sorry to be a buzzkill with the other things, but i wanted to be honest.  i've seen it on more petite girls and it works (it's cut shorter, the smaller in size you go) so i don't think it would overwhelm you.   

let me know if you have any questions.

I got it!!!!!!

I went to my BCBG store today and the SA smiled and asked me if i was looking for anything (she was on the phone while asking me).  I said, yes, I was looking for the "bubble dress"... she sorta grimaced and asked what color... i said red... a slight look of relief went through her face... she then looked me up and down and asked cautiously, what size... i replied "6".  she whipped around, pulled a red bubble dress in a size 6 down from behind her and said "its the only one in the store- looks like it was meant for you!"  and (!) she was on hold with another store trying to locate the same dress in another size for another customer!!!  just like ShopGirl82 said- that dress is flying off the racks and is extremely coveted...

I tried it on and it looked adorable!  soooooo I bought it!  I will post pictures tomorrow... i had to leave it in my car tonight b/c my boyfriend beat me home and i didn't want to hear it about buying a dress.... *sigh* boys just DON'T understand sometimes!  the SAs all said I looked very SJP in it!  yippee!!!! 

thanks for all your advice on the dress!  I'll post with the shoes I plan on wearing with it too... but I'll need your help with jewelry...

Thanks again!

Yay!  I'm so excited for you-- what luck!  And I just wanted to say that your comments always remind me of Becky Bloomwood from the Shoppaholic books, especially these.  And it just so happens you have the same name.  Coincidence ?

Yay! I'm in love with this dress and I'm so excited that you got it. Pictures ASAP!!
