this is the mori lee 2512, and let me introduce my hips as well,paula and paulette :)
you go girl
i do not have your curves...no wonder this style of dress looked like it was wrong on me
You make me regret the fact that I was terrified to try on this type of dress!
you mean these dresses weren't made for people with curves??? lol. i hate it when girls who wear these dresses have no curves, you look amazing!
I couldnt do drop waist and I will just save you guys the horrible pictures of me in the drop waist. lol.
beautiful! my wide hips made some dresses look ridiculous on me, but made others look perfect!
@charbirdie,
You look fantastic!!! Va va voom!
I'm very petitie and my dress has that bit of dropped waist bunching in the back and it def helps give shape even to the hipless me! :P
My FI would have loved if I wore a dress like that, but I wasn't brave enough!
I am super happy you posted this bc I bought, complete on impulse, a dress that I thought was beautiful and got a great deal on it and then the first thing my mom AND sister said to me was how , and I quote, "massive" my hips looked =( but you seriously look amazing!!! I dont have the best picture of me in it and sadly I boxed it up to sell it because of those comments, guess I should have turned to the hive first.
sorry for the horrible quality cell phone pic

Charbirdie,
You look great. I don't really try any drop waist gowns on because I'm short with a long torso, so Iwould have looked like I had no legs.
I feel like drop waists and other form-fitting styles like mermaid and trumpet gowns look so much more amazing on curvalicious women rather than the stick-straight and pre-pubescantly shaped models.
Work those hips, girlfriend!
Shannon - with all honesty, I think you look divine in that dress. You have a perfect hourglass figure. Don't listen to your family. You rock that dress.
Charbirdie - your picture if perfectly elegant. Way to inspire!
I love your dress! Looks like it was made for you. I have a trumpet dress and I'm hoping to look like that too *crosses fingers*
Wow total hourglass, very nice! You're rockin that dress, you look great! Love how you named your hips, mine deserve one too, they tend to take up their space.
I think both of you look great! I've got big hips too but my dress isn't a drop waist.
Thanks ladies!
@bestforlast - Thanks, that means alot. I may unbox the dress and give it a second chance
Shannon, your family is crazy. You look GORGEOUS! "Massive" is not even close to describing it. The dress looks like it was made for your body! Unbox that baby!
Beautiful dresses girls! I love how this style hugs the curves! In my opinion it looks best with curves!
Yay Charbirdie - we're dress twins, I LOVE it on you! So great to see the back actually with the corset and I love your curves.
Congrats!
I get mine in June sometime, I hope it comes early...
What accessories are you wearing? And what are you doing with your hair?
Thanks ladies for all the compliments! you all rock! snapdragon73, that is so funny isnt it? also we have the same wedding date! how cwwwwazy! no idea what kind of accessories...lol what about u?
Ummm, weird but yes, very cool!
I've been shopping my little heart out - at least we still have time.
I definitely want something with sparkle, and pearls. I can't bring myself to spend $35 on a bracelet for some reason (there are two I want so really $70), plus we are buying the bridesmaids accessories too.
We'll see - I might just have to suck it up since I only get one wedding day!
Keep in touch though and let me know what you get :)
wee another opportunity to show off my dress, i love these posts everyone looks so great
I am also wearing a dropped waist gown--was really concerned about it because I am bottom heavy and petite but I LOVE it and am going to go for it!!!
@toxypharmgirl, im so happy you went for that dress i still love it!
This site is so amazing! I was wondering what girls that aren't stick thin would look like in a dropped waist dress, and this showed me exactly what I needed to see. It is perfect, and I love it! I am going to have my second child in September (due on the 9th) and I was curious to know if the Kenneth Pool Degas would make me ridiculous. All I can do is try it on, and if I like it I am going for it!
Thanks girls!
The curves remind me of 40's and 50's hollywood. Thats how Marylin Monroe and those girls looked like. I would go for it. Its a beautiful and sexy look.
I'm getting a twinge of dress envy now! I LOVE clothes that make my hips huge. There's just something about it that makes me feel smokin'.
Oh my gosh you girls all look FABULOUS!! Way to show off some womanly curve! I am totally trying on a drop waist dress now even with my hips, you all have inspired me! BEAUTIFUL!
YAY YAY and another YAY! :) All you ladies look Fabulous! :)
@Charbirdie who 1st posted...this dress is awesome on you!
@Shannon1126: Yes, chica, you listen to the hive...;) and SO glad you are deciding to give your the 'boxed up dress' another chance. :) It's beautiful on you!
I too have a dress I bought..on a whim b/c the price was right and thought I pperrhapps could pull it off like the curvy bride that was selling it....but haven't gotten up the nerve to try it on again since my 1st attempt didn't go so well back in mid-January. I realize it's going on 6+ months since then, but like some of you bees...I'm nervous that my family will comment on my 'big butt', 'wide hips', etc. *sigh* Yeah, I have family like that too..err..
Anyway...I hope to be able to get the dress tried on soon..haha...b/c if for any reason it doesn't fit or work on me, I'll have to have time to look elsewhere.
ANYWAY...thanks for sharing this post! :) Rock your dresses ladies! :)
I'm about as hourglass as hourglass can get... my shoulders measure about the same as my hips. I'm totally rocking a tight dress cause I'm proud to have curves =)
