Dresses- nsv

My husband ordered me a dress for a Valentine's day present.  Totally weird by the way, as he NEVER buys me clothing.  Not his fault, I am just so terribly tall it is impossible to find items in the store.  Anyway, it came today.  He knew I shopped the talls at JCP.com, and went there.  He chose one I never would have- and holy smokes do I love it!  Dresses back when I was so heavy just didn't work.  I was sooooo tall and sooooo morbidly obese that it was absolutely impossible to find something that didn't look like complete hell on me.  I felt tall, sleek, and beautiful in the dress he bought me- best present ever! Now if I could just find pantyhose friggin' long enough so I can wear the dress!  Yea, I know- how 1980's of me... but I have incredibly pale skin and cannot tan due to skin cancer, so I struggle with pantyhose made for women who have legs at least 6 inches shorter than mine.  But who cares, because I love the dress!

If you can't find pantyhose maybe try thigh high stockings. they stay up really well and are very sexy.

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!

Can't stand them- I am a very tactile chick :)  They also do not come up quite high enough, so when I sit down you can see the top portion. But I do appreciate the suggestion!

Oh, Happy- Where are the pictures?  I would love to see what your post- TT looks like- I can only imagine!  So very cool re. hubby buying clothes for you----I remember mine wanting to buy me some dress or something - we had been married only about a year, and I had already begun to put on the weight - wouldn't let him 'cause I was embarrassed to admit I was a size 16 or so....sorry, know I'm rambling, this was  almost 30 years ago- but, what I'm trying to say is -  how perfectly wonderful for your husband to buy you something pretty- you know- for his love----   Smiles, Bonnie.

Search for Silkies online. I love their pantyhose. They will have a tall size for you

No they don't turn you orange and they actually look pretty great, but only for about a max of 4-5 days.  But if you wanna look amazing for a wedding or a weekend it's perfect :)  I can tan either, for the skin cancer runs in my family as well, so I get spray on tans here and there.  Just post a pic of the dress from the JCP website!  At least that way we can see which one he picked out ;)
