1. The first is so cute!
The second one is really cute too, but I love the first one. :hi:

3. I know! I desperately want babydolls to come back in!
Babydolls and knee-highs were practically my uniform, ten-ish years ago.

26. My exact thought.
Prints are just under-represented.

6. I probably shouldn't have replied.
I'm no fashionista. :rofl:

But the first one is adorable. The color of the second one would be so terribly wrong on me - that's probably why I don't "like" it.

7. Cool!
I also like this one, but I think it's a bit dressy for my purposes:

8. first one
The second one strikes as too bare. The top one is hip mom. The second one is (skinny) teenager.

Thanks for the input!

10. No. I hate dresses and shirts that have those belts under the breast line.
For some reason, they just bother me - I don't think any woman has ever looked good in something with a belt line right below the breast line. It makes the rest of the shirt or dress look too poofy, like the woman has a rather mutated shape and is wider than she really is. It's not a clean or a shapely line to me.

But I know lots of people like the look, so there you go.

And yes, I know they aren't belt, but I don't know the real word for it.

13. I have a really super good idea:
You find a picture of a Rabrrr-endorsed dress for me, and post it.
Do it!
It will humor me greatly.

25. Alright - I'd suggest something like a Sun Dress, perhaps Hawaiian
Something will enhance your shape and figure, which, if memory serves, is thin and rather elegant.

Now, this is not a around-the-house dress, but it's a good idea of what a dress should look like:



Now, these Lindsay Hayes sun dresses are very nice:



And here's a quite beautiful and well proportioned one:



I love this one, though I would suggest removing all the ruffling:



Or these:





Or just plain beautiful, but not practical for housework:



When I lived in Hawaii, I became a big fan of the sun dress - practical and light for warm weather, and elegant in their simplicity, appropriate and usable at home for doing housework, lounging with friends, or even going out to dinner or a play. I also loves me a nice cocktail dress, preferably in black.

28. Why are you looking below the breasts, anyway?
Or above them, for that matter? :shrug:

(By the way, I believe it's called a 'princess waist.')

15. 1. you're gorgeous
2. you have a body most people would die for
3. you have amazing colouration and bone structure

It is a fucking sin to hide it in those clothes. They're ...fine... and you aren't ...fine...
You could do way, way better

19. Bravo
Five minutes will save you money, and also discourage you from letting people see you in something so unflattering ;)

21. Never.
In fact, I will crush your dreams and make you cry if that's what it takes to prove my friendship.

22. Can you crush the dream about vampires and the flesh-rotting disease?
I'm getting sick of that re-run.
