A jewelry store in the Lower East Side that also sells adorable clothing – 'twas a medium and definitely could just baaarely pull it off, but not "I'm-willing-to-spend-over-$100-on-a-dress-that's-too-small-for-me" pull it off. Trust me, if it was going to work, I would have purchased it by now.

I love this! I'd be curious to know how making your own goes. Do you have a pattern in mind that you are going to modify?

Yep - it's going to be the Burdastyle Princess Seam Pencil Skirt 04/2012 #118. The Princess seam panels look about spot on and I can adjust the waist and hemline, add in ruffles etc.

My modcloth dress was too small, so I exchanged it and now it's too big and I need a dress to wear Sunday. So I'm kind of having a meltdown.

I've been obsessed with dresses recently (I'm normally a jeans person). I got these 3 dresses in the past couple months:

Those are so cute, FF! That first one is super amazing.

FabulouslyFierce · **Posted:** Thu Dec 13, 2012 7:53 pm

Thanks! I love them all, though the last one is a little flimsy. I plan on wearing the hell outta the first one for the holidays :)

It's cute but looks super short. I don't think I'd be comfortable in it.

vijita · **Posted:** Fri Dec 14, 2012 8:27 am

I have kind of scrawny legs so I like to pretend that I can pull off short dresses. If it is really short, I'll wear opaque tights and hope that that still keeps me decent. I'm weird...I couldn't possibly ever be comfortable showing cleavage (if I had any), but I don't give a damn about my legs flying all over the place.

Pretty! Makes me wish I was a person who looked good in pastels.

Not a dress, but perfect for my dresses! We had Christmas yesterday and my amazing mum bought me this coat from Ruche. It is so perfect!

I had been coveting it for ages.

Holy crepe vijita, that is forking amazing.

8Ball, did you make the skirt? I would love to see it. It's a great design.

I want pretty much the entire Dear Creatures Spring 2013 collection. Especially this (green please):

These would also be agreeable:

kilgore trout · **Posted:** Sat Jan 19, 2013 12:41 pm

Ooh those are pretty! I especially like the first one.

Veglicious · **Posted:** Tue Jan 22, 2013 6:09 am

I love Dear Creatures stuff, although I'm not sure it would work that well with my body type. I like the grey stripey dress.

I bought this on sale.

I don't really neeeeeeeeed it but it's so pretty.

also adorable!

the first one might work on me just because i'm super short so it wouldn't be too short for me, probably :D

just bought this. I had banned myself from shopping but the Modcloth winter sale was too much to resisit

vijita · **Posted:** Sun Jan 27, 2013 9:25 pm

That's cute! I'm so jealous of everyone's ModCloth finds. I never like anything I order, and they make returns outside the US ridiculously expensive (you have to pay for shipping it back and you don't receive a refund on the original shipment).

I don't generally covet dresses, but I have to have this:

The birds in the print even looks like Molly! Squee! Want! Hopefully it doesn't sell out before I'm in the mood to look at spring clothes. My birthday is in April--this would be an excellent use of birthday funds.

(I was looking for a cheap cream cardigan or something to match the scrf my aunt sent me for Christmas.)

vijita · **Posted:** Mon Feb 04, 2013 5:06 am

This little guy was on sale, so admittedly, I bought it.

jojo · **Posted:** Mon Feb 04, 2013 7:36 am

I bought this at the weekend. From Topshop.

I also spotted this on their website & I love it.

I mainly love it because of the colour & the back but spending the same as the cost of the dress on a bra with clear straps just so that I can wear the it seems too ridiculous so I probably won't buy it!

I also bought an amazing lime green dress from Topshop at the weekend but it doesn't seem to be on the website. If I wear it this weekend I'll try to post a pic in the what you're wearing thread.

Veglicious · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2013 11:33 pm

I returned the dress I posted above because it clashed with my new bright red hair and didn't look as pretty...but then I went back to Stop Staring and bought two I'd been eyeing for months, maybe even a year. No more clothes for a little while!
