I’d wear the ruffle dress. But the first one is a no-no! If Two-Face had a female sidekick, that’s what she would wear.

I adore the Exceptional Ruffle dress! And I’m dizzyingly chesty. That said, I want to love the green one, but with the lighter panel Right There, wouldn’t they make us top heavy girls look even more boobular?

Francesca, I’d like to draw people’s attention to a new show available tonight – it’s Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, and is a look behind Where Clothes Come From. In Philadelphia, at least, it will be on Planet Green, at 10:00 PM, I think, and I strongly encourage anyone who’s interested in clothes to watch it. And for the folks who complain that they can’t find CHEAP clothes in their sizes the way non-plus size folks can – I DOUBLE recommend watching it, so that maybe they’ll rethink ANYBODY’s entitlement to cheap prices for clothing. It’s not cheap for the people who make the clothes.

I am not mad keen, necessarily, on bibs – but I’m not sorry if we get a year of lace and ruffles!

There. I said it. Lace AND ruffles. And flounces, which are not the same thing as ruffles, AT ALL. I love them! Alas, I have learned to be VERY cautious about where they live on a garment, because a Stiff Ruffle Of Anything sticking out from my Vast Tracts Of Land just isn’t a look I care for. Not on me, at least!

I like the last dress and can even accept the ruffle. I’m just wondering if the belt would be flattering to my huge apple tummy.

Colorblock and Brilliant Ideas are No.

Exceptional Ruffle is a No in chocolate, a maybe in black and without that silly ruffle.

Francesca is a yes, yes, YES.

Ayala colorblock dress…something the Joker would wear…too schizo for me.

Maybe it’s the green color, but the Brilliant Ideas dress looks a little too “Austrians singing Do-a-deer on a mountain top” to me… and I was never that fond of the couture from “The Sound of Music”.

The Francesca dress in purple is sublime!

The Exceptional Ruffle dress looks like it has a bib…i outgrew bibs years ago…don’t even THINK about approaching me with one when I order lobster. I’m a classy adult…I KNOW how to eat a lobster/crab/shellfish without splattering myself. Please, designers, stop making dresses with embellishments that look like bibs. A ‘bib necklace’ when well designed doesn’t look like a bib…just the poorly designed ones. But I digress…remove the exceptional ruffle and it’s a great dress.

I’m well endowed chestationally and know for a fact (from a sad mistake on my wedding day) that a big button in the middle of big busoms is a no no. It makes them seem to go on forever and never perk. At least in my experience. Thank God my photographer was an expert cropper.

I cry, though, because I really really like that dress.

Igigi does have TERRIBLE customer service, it is true (they’ve screwed up more orders for me than they’ve gotten right, and they never respond to emails unless you call and beg them to) . . .

BUT, their clothes are really nice, and fit well, and hold up well, and are cute. So I buy from them despite their terrible service, and I just assume that it will be difficult and annoying to get them to send me the right stuff.
