I would be more than happy to give some recommendations to Joelle for maxis that aren't strapless.

RL can have very good deals, I used to buy from them when the store was closer to my place (I am an in-store impulsive buyer, I tend to resist the tempations on the Internet. Now the RL temporary store spot has been taken by Joe Fresh which is better for the wallet). Personally I don't like dresses with pointy collars so this isn't for me. On a funny note, the JCrew retro dots tunic is nearly identical in design to this dress, except for the fact that it is a tunic. I had ordered it but returned because of the pointy collar.Emahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331051805268660458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-26303720234481988992012-03-14T07:02:07.424-04:002012-03-14T07:02:07.424-04:00Oh ajc, I love it on you!

I think polka dot dresses can have a tendency to look too cutesy (e.g., the JC big-shot dot dress) but this one definitely looks sufficiently grown up and sophisticated with the shirt collar. And even if you have to do the racerback or strapless, that halter-ish shape is just so flattering on most figures. Congratulations on a wonderful purchase!<br /><br />I saw FFM's post about it, and hesitated too long to purchase -- all out of most sizes now. I didn't jump immediately, not because I had doubts about the dress, but because I just didn't want to add another retailer to my obsessive shopping habits... so maybe it's better after all, that I missed out!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041375655221489584.post-41932295479640529132012-03-13T22:58:51.284-04:002012-03-13T22:58:51.284-04:00The dress looks awesome on you!
