Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

Looking at myself....I don't think I like the way I look....OMG...look at my belly! EW.

Should I try to find something else or how would I accessorize this?

I don't think you need to wear a necklace, maybe some hanging earrings.

BTW.... Spanxx or a girdle will smooth out the belly....You just had a baby 2 months ago and look great.

Re: Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

I like the dress- and think its fine...

BUT I think you have an adorable shape- and might be able to find something that shows that off a little better....


However- I would def. add a nice necklace, and some dangly earrings!

Marissa....

any suggestions on what type of dress would look better? She I do a fit n flare like Karissa posted a few days back?

Re: Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

I think fit and flare would be great...

I think something like this would do your body SUCH more justice...

honestly....it looks a little big on you as well. Is it zipped up in the picture?

I think you look great but I think the dress doesnt do you justice at all. I think the fit/flare type of dress would be much better and you would feel more comfortable I think.

IMO, That type of material is not flattering on anyone, unless you're Lindsay Lohan or some other skinny b!tch. I think that you can find something else that will look wonderful on you.

I love the color on you Shana, but I will say that the dress doesn't look like it fits. It does look big. And from my own personal experience, when you're wearing the right undergarments, it makes a difference, too. You look awesome for just having had a baby, so please don't be hard on yourself. Before I'd get a new dress, I'd try some stuff underneath because a dress in that fabric shows everything, so it needs something seamless underneath.

Re: Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

Dont be offended I think you should get something else...Everybody is right it not a good fit for you...you are very pretty and that dress is not for you...

This time of year, pre-prom season, try Macy's! Use the coupons that you get in the paper if you can. Do you have a Lord and Taylor near you? Also, sometimes, TJ Maxx has those sections.

Re: Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

Hey Shana! I agree that another shape would be better. I think a halter top that goes out under the chest would be best. I got one for a wedding we went to lately...And I always go for black when I want to look most slim. Good luck!
I think something like this
but in a dark color would be best.

I agree with others who said it looks a little big on you. If you really like the dress, maybe go to a tailor and have it taken in a little. As for accessories, I'd limit it to earrings, since it is such a bold color, you really don't need anything else.

J Crew has some nice evening-type dresses too if you want to buy a new one.

Re: Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

I think the problem is that the panel in the mid-section is too plain and just lays there... I think you need a 2 piece or some kinda distraction from the mid-section...and yes the top part looks too big.....AUGGGGGGGGGHHHHH our post baby bodies!!! Trust me I know!!

Re: Here's That Dress....how do I accessorize or should I get a new one?

Please dont be mad,but that is the most unflattering dress I have ever laid eyes upon. Try some of the other girls suggestions, there is a better dress suited for you.
