It's pretty and I tried it on but I don't think it's worth the full price. With respect to fit I had two problems. First, I thought the print was overpowering on my frame(i'm on the small(2)/shortish side though(5'5)). Second, I'm pear shaped, so the fullness of the skirt didn't look that great on me because it clung- I have the same problem with most of Jcrew's fuller skirted dress for a point of reference.

Hmm, it clung? That worries me because I am also pear-shaped. Did you order it from Anthro or buy it elsewhere? I would love to be able to try it on before buying.

I haven't seen it in person but it is SO beautiful. I would just try to find a free shipping code and order it, if it doesn't work out you can return it. Tracey Reese makes IMPECCABLE stuff, especially dresses. They are always so pretty, well made, and have excellent tailored fit (this includes the lower priced Plenty line). The style looks perfect for a pear shape as well. I find that her stuff is true to size as well, if that helps.

I am glad you have something good to say about the line, XtinaStyles. I think I will go ahead and order it. Thanks!

I tried it on in the Anthro store. Good luck with ordering it!
