I picked up the Domonique dress in Bright Rose from the Troy MI store last week! I'll post pic's soon. I have tried not to even look at them for so long because I think I have 3 unworn sitting in my closet from last year, but that's out the door. I'm obsessed again.

Hello All,
I received my dress from the outnet sale. I was displeased that the UPS man left my package on the doorstep when I specified signature confirmation!

I need help. I feel super "busty" in this dress. What do you think? The first 3 pics are with a bra (not the best bra) and the others are braless. Secondly. Should I have it shortned by two bands? See the pics of the 2 lenghts. TIA.

Soleibrun,

I think you look fab, nothing wrong with showing a good cleavage! I just wish I had one!
I think it is better without the bra. I think the length is great, but that is how I prefer to wear mine, so it is a matter of person taste if you want to have it slightly above the knees, that looks just as good.

You look awesome! The color looks amazing on you. I don't think you're too busty, but I like cleavage :) As for the length, I think both look fine but I prefer shorter.

It is exactly that I was thinking. Love this dress on you.

I think it looks gorgeous on you. I personally prefer the dress without the bra and the length as it is

I purchased this same dress (in a different color) and sold it without ever wearing it because that's how the cleavage looked on me and I felt it was just too much. I'm okay with some cleavage, but for me, there's a limit where I just don't feel comfortable because I don't want to be all boob. Having said that, it's really about your personal comfort level. I think the dress fits you well and the length looks fine, especially with the amount of exposed cleavage (it's better to have a slightly longer hem line if you're showing a lot of skin on top or vice versa).

I think it's a keeper. I also think that no bra works better for you. I usually don't wear a bra when I wear HL myself.

Thank you for your input ladies. In the end, I need to get more comfortable with a bit of cleavage and people looking at it. I like the dress. I was hoping more of a white dress (alabaster) and this is winter white (cream) which might be more versatile for me. The only reason I was thinking of shortening it, is because it sticks out at the bottom in the front and that annoys me. When rolled up by 2 bands this issue is aleviated. vhdos, you are right though, cleavage+short can equal too much. Does the dress sticking out at the bottom catch your eye or rub you the wrong way for any reason? I think I will find a less cleavage inducing bra for this dress but still need input about the bottom.

Thanks everyone.

^Some women refer to that as a "fishtail" (where the bottom hem flips out). It's normal in some styles. When I have a dress that does that, I pay particular attention to how I'm standing in an effort to minimize the flair at the bottom of the hem. You can try opening your stance a little bit or you can stand with one leg out in front of the other and that usually takes care of it. You don't notice it when you're walking or sitting, so just be aware of how you're standing and you'll be fine.
