Have you seen the current issue of Martha? I was flipping through it - yeah, I know I'm not planning anymore, it's just a habit! - and saw this great dress feature. I love every dress in it, but especially noticed that it includes the Vineyard dress we liked:



And this beauty, which made me think of you:



=)

Okay I picked it up a couple weeks ago and how is that you listed the EXACT dresses that caught my eye?! I think we're sisters from another mother.
I'm planning a trip to visit FI's sisters in Chicago and do some dress shopping. Apart from the one you helped me with before the Martha ones are on the list. I don't know what it is but I do like sleeves.

not my style but those are beautiful, that would make a real statement and you would be so different which is what I really like about them. Good luck

I was too captivated by those dresses in Martha's! When I was looking for a dress, I seriously considered this dress by David Meister but in white.

Be sure to take a camera and report back on your Chicago shopping trip! =)

smilkova, do you know where to buy that dress? I really like it but couldn't find it at saks or neimans
I'll let you guys know if I find anything, this trip keeps getting rescheduled because something keeps popping up!

I've seen it on ebay and in fact I think the red one is selling on ebay right now. I am not sure about the white one though. I am sorry!

Did you see this new one, Champ? Not sleeved, but different and beautiful...



Oh, how I love me the Amsale!

Or this one at JCrew?

Hi ladies,
Aching, I really liked this one shoulder dress awhile ago, was it Monique Lhuillier? No I think Reem Acra... but I wonder if I'll look back at photos and ask myself what I was thinking with the one shoulder look! Perhaps too dated?

Oh silkova, that is a cute dress, it looks so comfy too honestly! I wish JCrew offered more color variations since I have to get something white to go with FI's uniform, lest my dress look dirty... but thanks for keeping an eye out for me, it means a lot to me!
I think I just need something with detail on the shoulders, not strapless, because much to my chagrin I have broader shoulders which makes for good swimming but terrible strapless dress wearing!
