Sapna: None of them are worthy of date dress baring 12
Bobbie: Hot, they are not. A few are only one step up from a 1950's house dress. Throw an apron over them and call it a day!
Beby: woooow que linda es la moda me encanta todo lo que se trate de moda y tengo 14 años y quiero ser edecan soy de Guatemala pero ese es mi sueño
Rose: Just committed in my mouth!
Rose: They all suck
fidgetfire: some of them are a disaster....i like the 3rd one the most ...
