I succeeded in staying away from the dresses (i have enough!) but I picked up this ombre skirt from the outnet sale:

I hope it fits, I was too late to order the size M so decided to try the size S instead. Praying it doesnt run small!!

Very pretty! I believe this runs true to size. :)

My first HL! I was about to buy my first last year when I discovered I was pregnant. I decided to wait until I lost most of my baby weight and then go try dresses on at an HL boutique. But then I saw this on Outnet and ended up ordering. I guessed on sizing.

I totally thought my first dress would be something more classic, but this one is so fun!

The black part in front is individually banded, so it lifts my boobs up like crazy (I'm not wearing a bra in this pic!). But the dress is a little looser than it should be on my waist and upper hips I think - it's super easy to zip up and doesn't hold me in much at all. Any thoughts? Does it look good overall? I still have a little pooch, but I guess for 4 months post-baby, it's not bad. I don't think I'd be able to go down a size because of my gigantic breast-feeding boobs (30 DDD or G!).

Any tips in general for picking dresses for big boobs that will still fit nice and snug through the waist (for that famous holding power)?

(Forgive the bare feet and messy shots - I tried the dress on super quick while hubby stepped out. I don't want him to see it just yet. :) )

The dress look amazing on you! But, I have similar issues. I also have a muffin top from having 3 kids. I also nursed 3 babies. The trick is to buy a style that covers the boobs more so they don't bulge out (like the bailey) http://www.amazon.com/Herve-Womens-Bailey-Bandage-Scarlet/dp/B00ELV31CI
I know it isn't as sexy but you won't have to worry about your boobs popping out, especially when they are smaller before the night starts and way bigger as you go through the night!! You look really great for being 4 months post-partum!

Thanks for the tips! That makes a lot of sense. I totally forgot about the boobs growing over the course of the night! I also really appreciate that you included a link - that really helps. Well, I've been drooling over a couple of higher-cut dresses online, so those might be good ones for me to look into.

I think I'm going to keep this dress and enjoy it for now, but keep an eye out for others that will be a better fit.

You are thin, so you could probably pull off something like this. It is so amazing! And you wouldn't have to worry about your boobs. I think it's the cleavage part that will get ya.

Is this the dress you're wearing: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/herve-leger-angled-bandage-dress/3038933?origin=category? The dress looks so great on you! But it looks shorter than the dress on the model, and I couldn't figure out another dress that it could be!

Hi there rosecam, thanks for the complements. The name of my dress is Kate and it is indeed an angled dress. It looks very similar to the link but somehow it looks so long on the model. I'm only but a short 5'3" and as you can see it doesn't look that long on me. Strange... Especially since the dress cannot be hiked any higher due to the angles otherwise it won't sit smoothly on the body if you get what I mean.

On the HL website, the dress looks more normal. The model is taller so it falls higher above her knees compared to me, since she is model height &#128541;

Oh, that dress is gorgeous! I love that length.

I just saw this - extra 20% off sale HLs at Neiman Marcus today. I really need to go try on some dresses before I buy more though - hopefully there will be more sales in January.

(Hmm. I can't figure out how to add the image from the website. But it seems like the link works.)

Pretty rose gold color. Black not on sale, of course.

Oooh thanks!! Do you know what the sale is?

Well now I feel like I'm going crazy! I cannot find the email anywhere but remember opening it (or do I?). Maybe it was one of those emails that explode after you read them. I'll include the contact info for a sales associate that is very helpful. Good luck finding the perfect dress.
