Black dress

Inspired by Anne Hathaway's blue dress she wore in BrideWars, I tried to find something in my closet to match. This is as close as I got.
I don't wear this dress often, because I think it makes me look pregnant (I don't think an Empire waist is the best look for someone who is busty, despite what magazines say). But, it's a short black dress that I shortened even more to hit my knee. Not sure if I like it with a sweater or not, but since it's still slightly cool out, I'll keep the sweater on till it warms up.

    I prefer it without the sweater...it's such a cute dress, why hide it? :)
    Love the sandals, too!

  5. I don't see why you don't like it on you! Everyone kinda has that "preggo" look with a poofy empire waist - it is adorable...it highlights the smallest part of you and is meant to be poofy elsewhere. You should wear more things like this!

    I like how your jewelry picks, too!

  14. Just a thought (from another busty girl) ... if you make the skirt a little more narrow, you totally kill the preggo look!! It's hard to find a dress made like that because most people aren't lucky enough to be built like us :)

  15. I saw you in person and thought you looked great. This dress is cool because it can look really different depending on your accessories--it's very versatile. Fun sandals, too.

  16. It looks like that dress was made for you. I mean, it's just truly awesome. I too have a similar designed black dress which I got from Gap
