Oh no, I´m sorry to hear about your fake HL.
but looking forward to seeing the new dress!
Fit over color all the way!
Will you show us modeling pics?
Yes, I'm going to take pics tonight after I get the kids in bed. I will take pictures of both dresses and then of both jackets over the bright white HL.
I'm SO sick of trying to figure this all out. Finding an outfit is normally not this stressful, but I have to do all of my shopping on line. I've already invested in the cost of two HL dresses, two different jackets, and a pair of CL shoes. I just want it to be done so that it's one less thing to think about.
vhdos - I will be shocked if everyone at your party has on nothing but bright white. I bet you'll see a lot of off-white, white with color splashes, etc. I think the second dress will be absolutely fine. Post pics though!!
In other news, I wore the red dress to a banquet Saturday night with the guy... not sure if it caught his eye. Haha! I can't tell but I'm sure he's just not that in to me. Or he could be afraid of me =, or just unwilling to make a move since I'm still a student (though not his any more). lol. Ah well! I loved the dress and got tons of compliments, but I have to admit I felt a little risque!

Vhdos - I know you probably don't want to hear this, because I know what its like to have your heart set on wear a certain dress or a certain designer/type of dress, but have you thought of possibly broadening your search outside of HL? HLs are beautiful and you certainly have the body to rock em, but being that HL only makes a handful of white dresses and even less in your tiny xxs small size, it might be really limiting your options. Especially to be investing so much time and money and stress into a stark white dress (which I know wouldn't have a ton of versatility in my wardrobe).
Heres some I found that are white that might be alright (cut some slack, it was a quick search at popular stores):

alright, you're right. thats the only one i found
Knowing that they aren't that easy to come by (stark white dresses) Im sure the second HL will be fine, as there are bound to be varying shades.

oooh this one is pretty - more sophisticated and i LOVE the back! http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?product=BHAL-WD440&c=Dresses&s=C
Sorry vhdos! We were posting at the same times.
I actually like the white dress with both jackets! I think the off white one is very pretty too, but for some reason I think the white one looks more flattering...maybe its the sleeves, I dont know.

I hear ya' sarasmith. I don't know why I got it in my head that I needed an HL for this event??? Last year I wore a white dress from Bebe and a pair of CL shoes. I guess this year I just really wanted to stand out. I just feel so confident and sexy in HL....
Anyway, I have already decided to keep an open mind to other designers. I've decided to keep the off-white HL regardless. The white HL is really, really beautiful, but the top is just not comfortable. It feels so darn open at the cleavage and on the sides. I think even with a jacket, I will feel self-conscious about my boobs hanging out.
I plan to go shopping next week and look for any other options - and my mall is not high-end, but I'm cool with that
I very much prefer the white dress to the off-white dress; it is just a more flattering fit through the hips. And while the neckline may be lower, there is not an appreciable difference to the observer between the necklines of the two dresses, IMO.
And I LOVE the white dress with the beige jacket (adore that jacket). Something about the blazer just seems incongruous - like the jacket is a different style from the dress (maybe older while the dress is younger?). I am having a difficult time articulating WHY I like the beige jacket better, but I do. It seems more effortlessly stylish.
But you are gorgeous and will look fantastic no matter what you wear. You have great taste.

Thanks Hautemama & sarasmith
Gosh, you guys are making this hard! The white dress just feels so uncomfortable up top. It's not just cleavage, but there is "side" boob that is visible that makes it feel so open. Also, I can't wear any type of bra - not even my usual NuBra - because you can clearly see the cups on the sides. Of course, I would have to have at least nip coverage.
