Ladies, Would (could) you wear this dress?

[Guest]

Okay. That works for me too.

Vincenzo mio, you are sooooooooooo easy.

And I expect HER mind was saying: 'Take a good look girls - he's all mine and you can see why.'

That idea never struck me. Is he worth lots of money?

I never claimed depth as one of my finer characteristics.

I like somehting a little bit more suggestive, something to make guys look again and again and again, instead of one long stare

Try a portable TV with clips of SportsCenter playing on it.

The image of Janet Reno in the dress you pictured is going to haunt me now.

Just in time to get you in the mood for the Halloween contest.

Yep, it's certainly RED, but it would be just as striking and eye catching in any color -- although a brilliant eye-catching blue, green or silver wouldn't have workd as well on Ms Twigley.

Funny, the color of he dress was not the first thing that caught my eye.

With ya, too, SnP on it not being nearly as revealing as J-lo's dress. That particular dress worked well on her, but to me, the red one has just a touch more class.

That could be because J-Lo is not the one wearing it.

How could one speak intelligently and interestingly to anyone wearing such a dress?

I don't think he brought her along for conversation.

My, this way of posting is so much more efficient.

A friend of mine who was on vacation and living out of a suitcase found herself running late for a party - and learned, to her horror, that the dress she'd bought a few weeks earlier had, uh, shrunk, particularly around the hips.

Horrors.

She'd have canceled, but her date was already waiting for her. She told me later that every extra ounce of flesh was outlined by clingy fabric and that she thought she looked "repulsive."

Ha! Not only did her date all but drool on her as he was helping her with her coat, but she met someone she liked better at the party - when he told her how much he liked the dress. Or rather, he said, "I like the way you wear that dress."



Do you think women tend to be more critical of the way we, and other women, look in clothing? As much as men like to ogle models, they seem more forgiving of our body flaws than we expect them to be.

To the question above, yes, absolutely yes.

I no longer like the way I look in snug-fitting or revealing clothes, but I know men do. Still, it takes quite a man to convince me that I'm attractive (to him). And then he has to repeat it or I presume he's changed his mind.

Universal truth:

A woman has to be DAMNED ugly in order for a man to not find her sexually attractive naked.

In the picture, it wasn't what caught my eye either, but that color would stand out in a crowd -- especially a crowd of drooling men in mostly dark suits.

Why shouldn't men be forgiving of the "body flaws" in women they actually know and like? We're forgiving enough of models' body flaws -- which IMHO are more numerous than are found in "real women."

In a sense, your question is part of the reason for this thread. This particular dress is custom designed for a "Model's Body" but the style is something that could be adapted to suit almost any woman who is fit and proud of her body.

It's not a style for "pear shaped ladies" or someone who is grossly unfit, but I think a lot more women could wear it (or something similar) than would wear it.

forgiveness

I don't want to feel as if a man forgives my body (or that I needs forgive his). That's why it's rare for me to believe it's not a matter of forgiveness and the implication that I am flawed.

Your body begs a lot of things dita, forgiveness isn't one that comes to mind.

I used shereads term without thinking much about it. I tend to overlook deviations from my ideal in public figures and accept women I know as they are.

I'm with Sweet-n-Petite - I'd wear that dress in a heartbeat, assuming that I had an event to attend that would call for such attire.

All it took was for one person to say they would, lol.
