Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Jilli, openwork or solid? Long or short sleeves? able to button in the front or not?
Ooooh. Openwork, mid-length sleeves if possible, and at least 1 button in the front?
And a question for you exercise-y types: do tricep dips actually work for toning a person's upper arms? Is there something more effective I could be doing that doesn't involve having weights around?

I find they do. I also do the closed-position push-ups (hands together, fingers and thumb forming a diamond-shape) for the upper arms. Oh! Plank position in yoga is good, too.

I can do that as a variant of doing push-ups against a wall, right? Because floor-type push-ups are Not For Me.
Could someone please help the nice lady who sometimes skips too much? What is this trixie dress and where can I find it? I need to look and see if I want one.

Yep, or with your hands on a (stable, please!) chair or some other intermediate height -- more resistance than the wall when you're ready to move up, but nowhere near as hard as the floor.
Tricep dips are awesome, IME, but I'm somehow dorkily required to give the standard disclaimers of Way Recommended For Strength But Visible Results Will Vary From One Body To the Next; and No Such Thing As Localized Fat Loss (Even Though Localized Strength Training Works Like Whoa).
What does the Trixie dress usually run?
I wish they had a pink one.
... and thank you, Sue! I was kinda hoping someone would ask, because while I'm unlikely to buy one, I was intrigued by all this talk of polka dots!

grins at disclaimers
Yeah, I know. But I figure doing tricep dips at my desk every day is better than doing nothing at all.
Thanks Sue, I found the site myself with a bit of googling--and a good eye for what dress might appeal to a wide variety of buffistae. It *is* a very cute dress, I might need to order it too. I'm liking the cherry print, but I know I'm not an XS, so I'd probably go with the navy. Not sure the sizing works for me, I think my boobs need an S and my waist needs an M.
