I'm in the process of losing weight, and hope to be close to my goal weight by my 10th anniversary later this year. I've been pinning some clothing items that I can try as a reward for every 10 pounds lost, and I want to end up with a killer dress by my anniversary.
For fun, if you could fit into (and look like the model) for ANY dress right now, which one would it be? Links would help, so I can pin them! :)
ETA: I'm two pounds away from my first 10 lost! :cheerleader1:

If I could afford it, I would rock this dress (I'm also about 5 lbs from my goal).

Here are a few that I like right now, but not sure if I'll still like in October, LOL:

The picture here does not do this dress justice, but I tried this one on in red a couple of weeks ago - total knockout! Looks way better on a curvy figure than the model. It fit like a dream thanks to some stretch and a side zip.

I wore this dress to DH's Christmas party this year and it was awesome! I have a cocktail party coming up and can't wait to wear it again. I think citymama described it as hawwt from the link :) I bought it to celebrate losing 20 lbs. Congrats on your weight loss!

I tried on the anthro dress linked up stream, and it is very baggy and not that form fitting. If you are looking for something special, this may not be the one.

That Tadashi lace one you linked is great too. I also like Boston's 1 shoulder ModCloth.
That was fun!

Love them all! I've been wondering if I'll be able to wear a bandage or sequined dress. I still have 40 pounds to go, but fashion is one of my biggest motivators! Neck-in-neck with health. ;)

I love this too. I think it's sexy, while still being classy.
Like the OP I want to lose weight for my 10th anniversary and 40th birthday (both later in the year), I'll bookmark this dress.

I really like the fabric and cut of this one. So sexy, but not showing too much skin.

Well, the model looks all of 8 inches wide. His designs ARE beautiful, but I think the bandage dress looks great on mummies and 00's. Oh to look good in that square-neck, cap-sleeved one!

I saw one of these dresses at NR today. It could fit an 8 year old. Not sure what size it was, and maybe it's really stretchy. It was down to $130 ish.
