It looks like I will have to move on from this dress... the bandage look may not be the best for me. </p> <p>They have Rhianna's Christian Siriano gown -<br /> <a href="http://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/christiansiriano_dresses/coastalprintruffledress" rel="nofollow">http://www.renttherunway.com/s.....uffledress</a></p> <p>I am dying over this one... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-323026 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 16:45:42 +0000 rae 323026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh!

I am going to agree that this dress would probably not be best on an Apple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322995 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:56:57 +0000 kellygirl 322995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie has a post on dresses for Apples. You can also shop dresses at Nordstrom by body type. I did a quick looksie and there are some great dresses there! </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2007/05/04/dresses-for-adorable-apples/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2007/05/.....le-apples/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322990 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 15:45:42 +0000 Aunty 322990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress, but not the right one yet </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322965 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:49:40 +0000 JuliaInGermany 322965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being an apple myself, I'd say this is not a good shape. It seems very tight and I think it will reveal the smallest tummy. Something slim, body-skimming with a moderately defined waist might be better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322962 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 14:41:12 +0000 rae 322962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, that is a really fab dress, but I don't know about how it would work for an apple. The brightest colors are at the middle, while the darkest are at the legs, so I think it would make an apple shape even more apple-y. </p> <p>Your plan to rent a dress, however, sounds just perfect for what you need! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322944 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:49:44 +0000 rute 322944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing dress!!!<br /> I would not choose this fit to a apple.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322929 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:17:06 +0000 Debora 322929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a striking dress! I'll be following this with interest to see if anyone has tried this. It sounds like the perfect solution for a one-of-a-kind dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-formal-wear-questions#post-322928 Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:08:41 +0000 modgrl 322928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My cousin is getting married this summer. The women will all be wearing black, short, tight, revealing dresses. I'm hoping to find something that is hot, not black, but won't make me stand out too much. Pretty summery florals are out for this kind of thing. </p> <p>I'm thinking about renting a dress from rent the runway. Has anyone used this service? Can you share your experiences? I would usually buy a killer dress for an occasion like this, but realistically it is just not worth it. I know I'll never wear it again. If another cousin gets married next year, I'm not going to want to wear the same dress to another family event. </p> <p>I've attached a picture of the dress I'm checking out. It is the Herve Leger Ombre dress. Totally out of my price range, but I think around $150 to rent. Do you think it would work on an "apple" shape? </p> <p>PS- if you are thinking about doing this here is a link to join. If you do it, I get a $20 credit toward a rental. <a href="http://www.renttherunway.com/referral/rita.berson" rel="nofollow">http://www.renttherunway.com/referral/rita.berson</a> </p>
