Well....the bra was ANOTHER shopping experience!  haha!  I ended up with a strapless thingy that is built in with the slip type thingy which also has some tummy control. (It also has straps that I can add if I can get them to hide under the straps of the dress!  It is a "natural" color..so hopefully it will blend..haha)  Amazing how much skin I had to get into that bra tho...it was SCARY!!!!!!!!!  Needless to say...I DIDN'T pose for any pictures of THAT!!!!!!!

I TOTALLY understand what you mean about the white/black thing.  I have some black pumps (low heel) that I could wear too.     Thanks!   I really appreciate EVERYONE's input!  This is helping A LOT!       Ruth

Love the black one...with black shoes, match your shoes to your hem...an ol' Mary Kay advise. Strappy black shoes, tho to kick it up a notch!! Pearls are fine, or get some Jet stone jewelry, dangly earrings and necklace that just sits right inyour decolletage.  You will be stunning!! And oh yeah, a new bra, no sports bras with this look, you need two breasts!!  Can't wait to see the finished product!  SMILE YOU HVE EARNED THIS LOOK!!!

It was magic when she realized who she had become...

I agree 100% with the black one.  I think you can never go wrong with a little black dress no matter what the time, day or event.  It looks AWESOME on you!  It is the one that shows your figure the best.  I just love it.  I agree with Kate on the black shoes too!  I think it is gonna be a huge hit!

Ok....I'm making a list....

Black, strappy shoes.....CHECK
new bra!............................CHECK
white wrap to cover the arms? ...........input? 
Guess the blue dress is taking a back seat for now!  haha.....Now, I just have to convince DH that the black dress is the "RIGHT" one!  This should be interesting!?!?!  Thanks again! Ruth

Hi Ruth,
 I love the black one and then the blue one! If you go with black, I agree with the strappy shoes and the jewelry that someone else posted. Not sure I'd do the white wrap though. Black....White.... opposite ends of the spectrum, kwim? Not sure if it would be too drastic a contrast.
 It's funny, initially I liked the blue best but then I found myself going back and forth. I guess I initially chose the blue one because I know for me black tends to be my "fall back" color--the one I rely on for dressy occasions as a person who struggles with obesity. Color is nice though and I look forward to wearing more of it and dressing up more once my time comes! Have fun at the wedding--you will literally be next door to where I live lol! Lori

Thanks for the input!  You all just don't know how much this helps!!  I'm such a NON-fashion statement!  haha!  I'll post a picture of the blue and black dresses with the "real bra" and shoes when I get time to get it all together!   I'll have to figure out something to hide the arms though....that's a sad state of affairs...haha!  Gotta love it!!!!  

Thanks!!!!!!!  Ruth

Ruth, I have to say I like both the blue and black.  I like the shape the black one gives you, but I love that shade of blue on you.  I also agree that the white wrap might be a little too opposite.  Try to find a black and white one. That would be HOT!!!!  Congratulations on looking so beautiful!  Isn't nice to have a choice on what to wear!!!!  Whatever you decide enjoy how beautiful you look!!!!
