Years back, I bought a pair of La Perla high-waisted cotton boy shorts that were made popular on Sex in the City -- Carrie wore them. I wound up loving them under dresses, so I stalked them online and I think I bought out all the remaining stock in my size. However, they are cotton and underwear doesn't last forever. I am searching high and low for a replacement, but coming up empty... I see the same style in synthetic version but I really really want cotton. </p> <p>That said, the La Perla's don't work with this dress for some reason, even though the dress is made of a heavier knit. </p> <p>Oh -- and I've tried sizing up in underwear. If I do that, I get saggy butt syndrome... the underwear bunches and sags at the butt, and that shows through and looks terrible. I suppose a thong is the ultimate answer but I do not like thongs -- I'd rather go commando than wear a thong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701927 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:54:37 +0000 Vix 701927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a (conditional) maxi-lover, and IMO you look amazing in this! Plus the color is incredible on you, as mentioned.</p> <p>No help on the underlayers, alas. I more or less do what you do since those babies cling when moving/dealing with breezes -- though I choose a style that is just waist-high and make sure to size up so things aren't ***smooshed*** since I think that contributes to feeling claustraphobic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701883 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:22:58 +0000 shiny 701883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!</p> <p>No suggestions for breathable cotton shapewear? I don't need major control, it's just that for some reason with this dress, most underwear is not working, except for this shapewear I have that goes all the way up past my natural waist -- or going without any undies at all! </p> <p>But that shapewear is synthetic and too hot to wear in the summer except at night. Biking shorts might work, but most of those are spandex and not cotton. I suppose a slip might work to smooth it all out, but again, in the summer, who wants the additional layer? </p> <p>Did I mention I bat for Team Too Hot? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701688 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 04:44:12 +0000 jayne 701688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You make a maxi! Almost enough that I would try one. Great look for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701685 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 04:30:29 +0000 pil 701685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701683 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 04:19:43 +0000 Jem 701683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this color on you! You look gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701657 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:45:58 +0000 Jaime 701657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color, no wonder it is your favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701646 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:34:39 +0000 sarah 701646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this green is gorgeous on you, and I'm even admiring that maxi! (I'm not a maxi gal, myself). You are stunning.</p> <p>The eyes sort of fit with the whole Shiny/The Shining theme, don't you think? ; ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701634 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:10:43 +0000 RunnerChick 701634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny, you look drop dead gorgeous. I'm not a maxi lover either, but you make it look so good. Love the color, love the silhouette. </p> <p> I just have to say, as a closet-fan of Zombie and vampire films, your eyes are to die for. Sort of literally </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701624 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 01:56:39 +0000 shiny 701624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you. This shade of green is my favorite color. My statement color. That said, looking at the pics, I think my teeth may be reflecting the green and look a bit green... we'll blame the crappy camera! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701619 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 01:47:09 +0000 Suz 701619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a maxi-lover, but once again you shine in this! The colour is gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-green-maxi#post-701606 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 01:33:14 +0000 shiny 701606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The other maxi that invaded my closet this summer, despite myself...</p> <p>- AT maxi<br /> - AT statement necklace<br /> - favorite white bag<br /> - metallic wedges<br /> - gut-sucker underwear (I would love to find shapewear that is made out of cotton, for summer use. It's either that or I go commando and cross fingers I don't get into a car accident. Help!). </p> <p>Sorry, again, for the strange eyes. Photographer daughter says my camera just sucks, and that's all there is to it. </p>
