If you're going to be staying somewhere with a warm climate, I imagine more people will be wearing white, right? I'm not an expert on white dresses though, so maybe somebody else can help you out with that?</p> <p>Anyway, here are a few wrap dresses, since you asked about those:<br /> <a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=120546&#038;CategoryID=2910&#038;PartnerID=SHP&#038;cm_mmc=PMD-_-Shopping.com-_-Product_Terms-_-Calvin_Klein_Women&#039;s_Wrap_Front_Dress" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....ront_Dress</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-3088360-8918563?asin=B0011YTWSA&#038;AFID=Shopping&#038;LNM=B0011YTWSA" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/gp/detai.....B0011YTWSA</a>|Isaac_Mizrahi_for_Target_Andrea_Wrap_Dress_True_White&#38;ref=tgt_adv_XSC10001</p> <p><a href="http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=302618&#038;CategoryID=14514" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/catalog/.....ryID=14514</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&#038;storeId=301&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=501602791&#038;linkshare=http://www.shopstyle.com/affiliate" rel="nofollow">http://www.dillards.com/webapp...../affiliate</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bluefly.com/Design-History-wine-jersey-v-neck-faux-wrap-dress/cat20470/212146001/detail.fly?cm_mmc=CJ-_-1909792-_-2178999-_-Design+History+wine+jersey+v-neck+faux+wrap+dress&#038;referer=cjunction_2178999_10436858_22591629" rel="nofollow">http://www.bluefly.com/Design-.....8_22591629</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/601-3088360-8918563?asin=B000ZBW8RW&#038;AFID=Shopping&#038;LNM=B000ZBW8RW" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/gp/detai.....B000ZBW8RW</a>|Isaac_Mizrahi_for_Target_Wrap_Dress_Navy_Voyage&#38;ref=tgt_adv_XSC10001</p> <p><a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application/prodDisplay/?namespace=productDisplay&#038;origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&#038;event=display&#038;prnbr=9D-218082&#038;page=14&#038;cgname=OSCLODRSVIL&#038;rfnbr=2667&#038;cm_mmc=CJ-_-1909792-_-2178999-_-Product%20Catalog" rel="nofollow">http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....%20Catalog</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/browse/product_detail_with_picker.jsp?productId=prod570165&#038;parentId=cat60036&#038;subcatId=cat60070&#038;cid=200001" rel="nofollow">http://www.nyandcompany.com/ny.....cid=200001</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/sale/col.asp?styid=WH094&#038;segname=Women&#038;segid=6&#038;gpname=Dresses&#038;desname=Ruffle+Cotton+Dress&#038;gpid=6&#038;gen=1&#038;col=AQU" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/sale/c.....38;col=AQU</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3125957&#038;cp=1760788.2928195.1818742&#038;SMR=1&#038;view=all&#038;ab=viewall&#038;parentPage=family&#038;camp=affiliate_k108283" rel="nofollow">http://www.ralphlauren.com/pro.....te_k108283</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dillards.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=301&#038;storeId=301&#038;langId=-1&#038;productId=501569766&#038;linkshare=http://www.shopstyle.com/affiliate" rel="nofollow">http://www.dillards.com/webapp...../affiliate</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25088 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:42:14 +0000 Debbie 25088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this dress but wonder about the white?</p> <p><a href="http://content.nordstrom.com/ImageGallery/store/product/MediumLarge/14/_5689734.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://content.nordstrom.com/I.....689734.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25043 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:39:03 +0000 Debbie 25043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>their website has a size converter now too (boden) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25042 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:38:31 +0000 Debbie 25042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oops double post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25041 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:34:54 +0000 Debbie 25041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh thank you Ana for the heads up about the hemming! I thought it looked long but wasn't sure.</p> <p>I have a trip in 2 weeks and another at Christmas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25040 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:06:23 +0000 Ana 25040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shape looks good, nice work happylife. </p> <p>A couple things to think about: remember that UK sizing is different than American, so if you wear a size 8 dress in the US, that's a UK size 12 on the Boden site.</p> <p>Also, depending on how tall you are, you might have to get that dress hemmed since it hits at mid calf. When is your trip? Last time I ordered something from Boden, it took over 2 weeks to get here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25039 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:56:24 +0000 Jillian 25039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That would look really nice on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25038 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:51:01 +0000 Debbie 25038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Ana and Taffy!</p> <p>What about this Boden dress?</p> <p><a href="http://www.bodenusa.com/backupimages/productHome/08ASUM_WH095_M01.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.bodenusa.com/backup.....95_M01.jpg</a></p> <p>thanks for looking! it comes in blue in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25035 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:27:23 +0000 Ana 25035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right now you're only going to find summer dresses on sale, since retailers are rolling out their new fall merchandise. </p> <p>As far as what to look for, here's Angie's guide to dresses for the hourglass figure:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/05/24/dresses-for-the-hot-hourglass/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/05/.....hourglass/</a></p> <p>If you're going to a warm climate, I'd avoid anything too restrictive, like a dress that has a pencil skirt silhouette. Stick to an a-line skirt, something like this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod30920047&#038;parentId=cat255657&#038;masterId=cat241512&#038;index=5&#038;cmCat=cat000000cat205700cat205900cat231417cat241512cat255657" rel="nofollow">http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com.....2cat255657</a></p> <p>Check out the sale section of Nordstrom's and Neiman Marcus' websites, because I know they are having sales right now. Make sure you double check the fabric content and washing instructions--most of the dresses on those sites have some sort of silk content and/or are dry clean only, which a lot of SAHMs on this site like to avoid. If you find some that you like, you can post the links here and we can look them over for you, if you want.</p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-25016 Wed, 10 Sep 2008 03:48:10 +0000 Taffy 25016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the dresses that Boden has right now... All machine washable and they could transition into fall and winter well with cardi's and boots. <a href="http://www.Bodenusa.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Bodenusa.com</a> is the website. You can request a catalog there, which I would recommend because there are pictures of EVERYTHING! Angie rates their quality similar to Banana Republic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-24981 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:42:52 +0000 Debbie 24981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all the day dresses Angie blogged about are sold out in size 8 (except JCREW papaya and I do not look good in that color) so I am madly searching.</p> <p>My body is good in wrap dresses if anyone knows of any</p> <p>Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-cute-summer-dresses-out-there#post-24957 Tue, 09 Sep 2008 20:57:01 +0000 Debbie 24957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going to be in hot weather soon and need some fun dresses.</p> <p>Have you seen any that would be great on an hourglass? </p>
