Old Navy Cabana Dresses?

[WeLoveLilo05]

Anyone have them? They are basically like sundresses right, not a cover up for swim suits?
Id like to buy a sun type of dress this year, but everyone I have tried on so far my ****s hang out of (and I'm not huge, I'm average, I know TMI, but just so you get an idea) and being that I am with DD all day, I just don't feel its appropriate.
SO what's your take on them?

Good question! I got the email about them, and love the broomstick style one in the center. I've recently lost a lot of weight, so I'm not sure how they'd look on me, but since they're pretty cheap I might check 'em out!

I seen them this weekend and i'am taking my dd16 to get a couple for our cruise. They are sundresses, they have some really cute styles.

You sound just like me! There are so many cute sundresses I can't wear for the very same reason -- little to no coverage for my chest.

I did go to the Old Navy web site because I too thought the dresses were cute. There was one in particular I was interested in, but in the reviews people thought the material was too thin (the dress was white with two big flowers printed on the front. I don't recall if it was an online special only though.) I was glad for the reviews because I've had issues before with items looking great online, but in person, they're terrible. I guess I'll have to go to the store and see what they have there.

They look really cute! I especially like the cross-front dress in the spitfire color online, but some of the reviews are really awful. People are saying the material is super thin, they fit like maternity dresses and there's not much support for, erm.. bigger-busted ladies.

I DID get some of the ruffled gauze skirts (http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=55402&vid=1&pid=752399&scid=752399002) though, and they are SUPER cute and fit really well.

Wow, they come in petites online! Does anyone know if they can be returned to the store if ordered online? Thanks!

Oh, and how about layering a cami or tank for the falling out issue?

when I used to work at Old Navy, we did take returns in-store. Not sure if it has changed in the last 3 years or so.

I know we do accept returns from online, but not sure of the exact polices.

They do look really cute with a cami underneath! They are also on sale in-store.

I swear, I'm not traying to derail!!

I'm just wondering what kind of bra people tend to wear with something like that? I'm not like my DD, I *need* to have my brastraps covered! And I sure can't go without one, that would be... unfortunate.

No, its a good question, anytime I wear a strapless type of bra it is SO uncomfortable! Some of the dresses look to have thick straps so I was looking into those as opposed to those spaghetti strap ones.

I have a strapless one from Frederick's that I love for racerback tanks and the like.

Most plus stuff has to be returned va mail.

They are VERY low cut, I wear with tanks underneath.
Yes they are a bit thin, and for $15 you what do you expect ?

I bought all colors last year, wore the heck out of them and threw they all away at the end of the summer.

Bought two this year already and I may go back and get another one.

They are great from hanging round house, pool , running to store. I think they are cute on and get lots of compliments.

 

[Darsa]

Hmm, I went to Walgreens recently and got 5 tank tops for $10; maybe I'll wear one to Old Navy and see how they look with these. I don't usually wear dresses, but I'd like to have a "throw on" type thing for the upcoming sweltering weather

Thanks!

My Old Navy had a miserable selection and they were terribly thin. Anyone seen any better ones anywhere?

 

[ajk912]

I am a 34DD so I definitely need to wear the dress with something. I tried one on with a basic tank,and it looked fine and cute for when it's miserably hot. Then, I can wear it with my regular bra..woohoo! I got the purple paisley one.

I purchased the above mention white tube dress with flowers and it is so cute. I originally brought it to wear as a cover up but decided to wear it as a dress last weekend when it was 90 degrees. It was soooo cute but the back is see through. Thank God I looked in the mirror before prancing out to the mall, I had to make a quick change. lmao: I also brought an orange tube dress with a neck tie and it is adorable. I wish I would gotten both dresses in XL instead XXL them seem a little big. I am hoping that will fix itself when I wash them. My normal size is 16.

Haha me too. Ideas? (Other than strapless )

I bought a bra from Victoria's Secret that is a LIFESAVER in the summer time.

You can wear it 7 ways (classic, one shoulder, halter, strapless, v-front, crisscross, crossback) AND it comes with regular and clear straps.

For dresses/tops with really thin straps, I just put on the clear straps and then wear it however the shirt/dress is designed (classic or halter).

 

[WeLoveLilo05]

I went and did get 1, I don't even see it on the website but its a teal color and it had the thick straps and I don't need the cami under that one.
BUt still the ON that I went to did not have a large selection and I think after I clean up the dinner mess I may run over the one in the mall and check out what they have.
...plus I was nervous while in ON and couldn't concentrate
the manager kicked out 3 older women (I mean probably my age,25, and older, they weren't KIDS or TEENS) b/c they were stealing. And one of ladies was threatening to punch the manager in the face (I can't even tell you how many times the F word was thrown around)...the manager escorted them out and the cops came lol....I just wanted to shop today and thats what I got.

I'm not big on top either. I swear by Victoria's Secret miracle bra as it pushes together & enhances what little I have.

Last year, I bought a Calvin Klein strapless bra from a TJ Maxx type store, where they were deeply discounted. I loved it so much , I went back and bought FOUR more. (3 nude & one in black. If they had a white one, I would have bought that too.) It has underwires & most importantly: boning on the side, so this strapless bra STAYS UP! The girls remained nice & high. I never had to do that surreptitious, hiking the strapless bra up, that you know everyone sees anyway. I got to wear any type of top I wanted to last summer.
