I just turned on our game Steelers/Dolphins and they are doing quite surprisingly well. I held out little hope for Miami today. I have a soft spot for Steelers, so it won't hurt as much if it goes the other way.

Kat or other eshakti buyers -- is there any consistency to the ill-fittingness? Like, order a size up or down, or was it more random? I've never ordered from there, but I need some dresses, and those links last night started me looking, and there are so many I really like.
I would say their sizing is consistent, and lines up with their size charts.
For me, all my dresses have been in non-stretch cotton, 2 with waistbands and one without. The two with waistbands fit in theory, the waistband starts about 2/3 down my ample breasts. The shift dress fits pretty well, but just fits in the bust since there's not a lot give in the fabric. I would size up for the boobs, but I'm not sure what it would do to the rest of the fit.

I tend to buy just the cotton stretch stuff, since it's so comfortable.

Thanks for the sizing input. Most of the ones I'm looking at are waist or empire waist, so that will be the key measurement, and those usually fall about right on me, trunk-lenght-wise, generally. But I also think they're all in the cotton knit or jersey, so that's more forgiving.
Now to decide between the deep V or the shallow V. I like deep better. Maybe deep V and cami as needed for work depending how it falls on me. Work being in North Carolina at an office I have yet to visit in person. But -- holiday part on 12/12.

I find their deep V-necks very deep, almost to the point of a misdemeanor.

Ha! OK, thanks, that's good to know.

JenP, my sizing issues are bust related and back related. Also the dresses were shockingly short waisted to me. And I'm already short waisted. I only tried ones that had no give, though. So perhaps I'd feel differently with a more forgiving fabric?

Early voting in Texas starts on the 24th. We close on the new house on the 24th and move (in theory) on the 26th. I'm worried if I update my voter registration now, something will go wrong if I try to vote in the new place.

Yes, make sure you get the vote in on the 24th then! I have visions of Texas surprising people.

It doesn't even sound like a stretch, does it.
