In my previous thread where I posted a keep or return (http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....rack-stuff) featuring a red and black Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress, some of you thought I should try some alternative dresses because of the material of the DVF dress (wool rather than silk jersey, which might not last as long) and because maybe it wasn't the best dress for my apple figure. So I ordered a couple of dresses from Bluefly. What do you think, are these any better or do you still like the DVF wrap dress the best? Or should I give up on this style of dress altogether because they all make me look fat?

Both of these Bluefly dresses are cheaper than the DVF and made of polyester & elastane (I know, that doesn't sound that appealing, does it). I also ordered a DVF shirtdress from Nordstrom (Marcie in red cat), but I'm not even going to show that one because the buttons at the top pulled and gapped so much (haha, made me feel so busty!) that it has to go back. It was on sale and that was the only size available.

1-2. JB by Julie Brown--black and red. The pattern is a little bolder and more geometric than the DVF dress.
3-4. Laundry by Shelli Segal. This is more pink and black. Kinda reminds me of Angie's pink floral midi, but nowhere as nice. It's sort of a faux wrap, but I don't like how it's draped at the front...kinda makes me look pregnant I think.
5-6. The DVF red Linda wrap dress (30% off at Neiman Marcus)--this time with Spanx on. Not sure if that made any difference though.

Let me know if any of these look OK or whether they all need to go back. Thanks!
