See?  Only barely similar to the Racheldress inspiration.  This was actually previously listed at $49.99 I think, and ended w/no bids, to be relisted at half the price.  If only shipping were not so high... Plus, the back is not sleek as I wanted, but rather has that weird tie thing.

T, 2/3/11:  I actually like the tie . . . maybe bc I have no boobs and that's always a prob, but you have an ample bosom and don't need it.  I like it too, though, because it leaves part of the back open, as opposed to just being any old tube dress.  It's a decent price, and so summery!

A -- 2/9/11: Sold for $33, 2 bids.  Meh again.

This is cute, but I'm not utterly in love w/it, esp at that price (maybe more around $30).  I like its preppycute look though, sometimes it's good to try diff things =).  I was thinking maybe I could put this together w/separates (I've been wanting a preppy-ish tennis sweater and skirt too), but it might be easier, if less versatile, to just get both in one dress.

T, 1/22/11:  Looks like a tennis dress, which I know was the look you're going for, but not cute.  Also reminds me of the larok dress that Lily on HIMYM wore in one eps.  It just looks odd.

Tibi Beaded Strapless Silk Blend Dress

$244.30 (Retail $698.00, theoutnet)

96% Silk / 4% Spandex

How do I love thee - let me count the ways...

The muted sparkles, the thick peachynude silk, the hourglass bodice, the structure with flow, even the sweetheart neckline...this dress is everything I never knew I always wanted.  Classic, with a modern twist, so verymuch my heart.

Don't think it will go much lower than this, but would love to get for under $150.  Don't let me down Ebay!

btw I also want/love that clutch.  Bottega?

T, 1/17/11:  in theory, it should work . . . but it's a little too disjointed for me.  But, of course, I lurve the clutch, since it's Bottega.
