ISO birthday dress!
Permalink Closed

Well, I actually need two.  One for the evening of my birthday- the bar that my friends & I frequent is throwing a birthday bash for me.  I'd like a little black dress for this one...  I found a few that I like, but am hoping more eyes will help me be a little more creative.  Oh, I'll be turning 25, if that helps at all.

marah1004312867_201x396.jpg link I love this dress, but would want it to be shorter. 

tbags1008312867_201x396.jpg another gorgeous dress.  I really like the length, but could go an inch or so shorter.

ragbo1001712867_201x396.jpg link.  Really cute.

So, I'd like to keep the price for each dress under $100, but will splurge, if necessary. 
For the second dress, I want it to not be black- maybe a deep red or gray.
Any help would be SUPER appreciated!

OHHHHH I LOVE THE 1st ONE!!!

Definitely figure-flattering and will work great to show off your curves, and definitely an attention grabber when you'll walk into the room!!

good luck with your decision and Happy 25TH Birthday!!!!!

For the LBD, I really like #2 if you're less endowed in the chest, and #1 if you have a larger one. I think that you should totally wear a sexy dress on your birthday!

For the second dress, what type of party will you be wearing it too?

I think the second is my fave.  I don't think I'm too busty to wear it... 34c, thoughts?

The second dress is for a dinner party at a really fancy restaurant.  They don't mind casual, but we all want to dress up. :)

Oooh.  That gray one is really pretty! 

I am really into that second lbd that I posted.  I think I might go for it.

I would love more ideas for the second dress- I want it to be somewhat unexpected... I always wear black.  Always.  I look really good in deep red, browns, and gray.  I might even go for a print, as long as it's not girly- something graphic, maybe.

I'd wear this with a pashmina/shawl, big earrings, and some hot shoes.

Yeah, that's my fave for a non-black dress.  It's kind of out my price range, though... $218.  It's going to be well into the 90s and humid by my bday, so a pashmina or shall would kill me.  haha.  However, I know what shoes & earrings I'd wear with it.

Has anyone seen it cheaper anywhere??  Does anyone know how Vera sizing runs?

Yeah, I'm really in love with that dress.  Does anyone know how t-bags sizing runs?
Shopbop needs to have more codes!  Ugh!  I can't spend $163 when I have to buy two dresses. :(
