I'm in love with this outfit. I love halters (what they do for the shoulders... mmmmm!), especially in the style of this dress with a nice, full skirt. And of course, the bolero is perfection in my book!!<br /><br />I have a wondrous convertible bra that also has an extra-long strap that wraps around the stomach and hooks to the bra band, pulling it down sufficiently for dresses that are cut lower in the back. It's quite a contraption, but it works. :) My only issue is if I make the halter strap of the bra too tight; then I get upper back pain by the end of the day.VictorianKitty (Sophistique Noir)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05249293125462602094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404513230073818801.post-18968942647055871832014-02-13T08:57:37.783-05:002014-02-13T08:57:37.783-05:00They *always* demand attention, but were just part...They *always* demand attention, but were just particularly insistent in this case.Pixel Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464601854437518024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404513230073818801.post-3574849157038165362014-02-13T08:56:28.552-05:002014-02-13T08:56:28.552-05:00Me too!
