keep or return: dvf antoinette dress
Permalink Closed

this dress was a really great deal, and is incredibly flattering and i love the print. (here comes the qualifier) buuuut...it doesn't fit my chest. it fits great everywhere else, and i'm not sure if i ordered the next size up (which is, ahem, the largest size available) it would really solve the issue. PLUS it would be at least $50 more (i found on one ebay) and i don't know if it would really work any better -- and being ebay, no returns. (it's also at NAP, but is 200ish currently)

tmi, but slight factoring: i am still nursing, but i don't think i am going to deflate much afterwards.



i would obviously wear a shorter slip, and different shoes.

edited to add, when i say it doesn't fit my chest, i just mean it doesn't wrap across, but it doesn't pull or look tight or anything.

I think it looks cute with the black cami underneath. You seem to love it and as long as you are okay always wearing a cami under it I would keep it. The fit else where looks great.

a bit of a Bridget Jones Diary comment:

but i like it just the way it is. 

p.s. i hurried to nordstrom as soon as you posted it, but they didn't have my size.

I say keep it.  It looks good on you with the camisole.

I saw this in person and thought it was ADORABLE!  I say keep it.  Could you maybe pin it closed from underneath?  or maybe a tailor could take in the sides of the dress on the top?

orrrrrrrr maybe those really are crazy ideas and you could always sell it to me :)

The dress is beautiful & I think it looks good on you!  I was stalking it almost every day, and the day it went 70% off, I missed it :( darn work.
You know, her dresses are fabulous, but I have two that do the exact same thing on me. I usually pin them - doesn't really look as tacky as it sounds. 
Anyway, keep it!

You may deflate more than you think once you are done nursing. It's not uncommon at all to have smaller breasts after nursing than you did before you ever got pregnant.

I'd keep the dress, it looks fabulous on you.

I think it looks lovely!  I have three DVFs and I wear a camisole with all of them - just for peace of mind
