There's something about the drape that hubby just doesn't like, and I don't want to buy a sexy dress I won't wear around him :/. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-a-lot-like-the-purple-dress-i-asked-about#post-654789 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:03:21 +0000 nancylee 654789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one sexy dress. I think you should try it out.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-a-lot-like-the-purple-dress-i-asked-about#post-654780 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:58:15 +0000 rae 654780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, I'm sorry the goddess dress didn't work out - but I know what you mean about polyester! Oof, it's like we can't get away from it these days. Are you going to try the Antro dress, or hold out for a less drapey one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-a-lot-like-the-purple-dress-i-asked-about#post-654766 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:39:53 +0000 Shu 654766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/24724130.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....724130.jsp</a></p> <p>Except that it's three times as much (I found mine at Marshalls for 39.99), maybe longer - and the BIG difference - modal, not polyester. That last bit was the deciding factor in my decision to return the "goddess" dress. I put it on to ask Hubalicious what he thought, and after a few trips up and down the stairs I was sweating! It is two layers of polyster/spandex close to the body, and it became uncomfortable pretty quickly :(.</p> <p>Now I'm on the lookout for another flirty date night dress. One thing I learned through this process is that really drapey tops are "confusing" to my husband, but he loved the form-fitting shape of the dress. Useful information, as I want us BOTH to think I look good - not confusing ;). </p>
