Hot pink ftw!!  Strappy, booby, backless and tight.  Check, check, check, check!!

T, 3/27/11:  WOOO!!!  G'job, and, as we always say when we buy something, CONGRATS!!!  We both have vtg dvfs, ungaros, and now hot pink!!!  This is sooo hot, can't wait to see this paired with your ungaro. :)

A -- 4/4/11:  Aww another disappointment.  After all that fuss about measurements, this ended up not fitting me - maybe it's just bc I wanted it to be perfectly skintight, and it just wasn't.  Seller says she will not refund shipping, so I am trying to resell on Ebay.  Fingers crossed!

A -- 4/12/11: Ugh nobody bid.  There were 2 ppl watching - maybe they were like me, and just watch stuff on Ebay for the hell of it.  Should I relist?  What is the 'optimal' time to set the auction to end at?  I should learn all the tricks of Ebay selling, much as I have for Ebay buying.

T, 4/11/11:  Relist, of course!  We both know how fickle ebay is.  I'm sure someone will bite. :)  Help the dress find its rightful owner . . .

I am determined to make a Nicole Miller dress work for me - my last two attempts (a navy/gold strapless dress that was too small, and the recent pink that was too big) were sadly failures, but they make me that much more obstinate in my desire to MAKEITWORK.  Many things about this appeal to me: the vivid color, the quality fabric, the quirky but not overpowering pattern, the different but not too crazy shape…what do you think?  Maybe w/a belt?  Maybe shortened too...

T, 4/6/11:  So impressed how you're not peeved when stuff doesn't work out for you; you just move on.  I stew and dwell.  (How sad that I'm not referring to real life struggles.)  Anyway, no shortening!  Lurve the drape.  Preserve the essence!  And . . . is this vtg n.miller?  Makes it that much better.

A -- 4/8/11:  Bought!  $10.48 + $5.25 = $14.73.  Not bad, considering it's a giant piece of silk.  A giant silk sack.  To be honest, I'm still not totally sure how/where to wear this, but I'll find a way to makeitwork!

Umm…HOT.  This thing is just sex in fabric form.  I love/want it so much, but I may actually be afraid to wear it if I ever actually got it - it is just so much sex.  NicoleMiller, you really know how to do lace.

T, 2/23/11:  Yeah . . . wow.  You should DEF wear it if you ever find it!

Maybe I'm drawn to blues after my awesome vtg dvf find (self-deemed awesome, of course).  I have a N.Miller where I lurve the way it hugs . . . so I'm gonna assume, despite the lack of measurement info/pics, it'll fit.  Doubt I'll bid, but something fun to watch.

A -- 2/5/11: Good draping, nice color, Nicole Miller is generally nice, so it's all pretty good.  Not $60+ total good, of course, though these days, veryvery little is over $60 good for me.

T, 2/6/11:  Someone "bought it now" -- $65.

Ending soon, prob won't bid, it's just that I've referred to this several times so I fig I might as well blog (that's the porpoise here, right?  So we avoid repetition?).  Feeling the turquoise/blue (like Picasso!  yes, I just compared myself to a  master artist) prob tks to the self-deemed awesome vtg dvf find.  And, who can forget about the gold?  I know I always mistakenly refer to this dress as the maxi version of yours, so I apologize.  Wonder if anyone'll bid . . .

Ugh.  I was soooooo excited when I first saw this on my Nicole Miller lace dress search.  I was initially 99.99% sure it was the original stretchlacemulti one I posted, but upon *extensive* closer inspection (stupid shitty pics), I realized it was not the same, and subtly yet significantly less awesome.  The neckline, too much material and the shape is not as hot.  The back, oddly highnecked and thus backwards victorian looking.  It still seems very pretty tho, so I am contemplating a max offer.  A wish that it would go for $30ish is laughable right? 

T, 12/26/10:  this dress is beyond hot, even if it's not the orig!  I actually really like the high neckline for the back, because it emphasizes the openness of the back.  I paid $60ish for a Nicole Miller that I found for $80ish on eBay.  But this dress is, by far, prettier/sexier.  Maybe $80, and if that gets rejected automatically, $100? 

A -- 12/30/10: Meh, sold for the buyitnow price.  Guess it was not meant to be.

Nicole Miller Multi Stretch Lace Combo Dress

$400 (available all over the place apparently, including Bloomies, Saks, eDressme, Nicolemiller.com, etc.)

Saw this when I bought the CK boots & Plush tights the other day - looked so much hotter on the rack actually than in any pics I could find online.  Didn't even bother trying on, since my days of forking over $400 for a dress are apparently over thanks to Ebay and 2008, but totally loved this when I saw, esp since I have been wanting a black lace dress w/nude lining peeking thru.  Will be trying to Ebay this, or something similar.

T, 12/27/10:  LOVE!!!  It's so goth/lolita and pretty and feminine and dark . . . if anyone can find this, or something sim, via eBay for a good price, it's you.
