luckylily · Gucci

I haven't seen that one in the store yet, but I also loved it online and in the catalog.

I zoomed in on it really closely and it looks more jersey type material than sweater.

I was near Anthro so I decided to stop in and see if thy had the dress in stock.

They did. biggrin

I tokk pics of the tags for fabric content and because I thought that having the measurements was really cool. The brand is Plastic Island, not a house brand, which is nice because I tend to have fewer quality issues with non-Anthro house brand items.

Here are IRL pics on me. I wear a 6/M, and this dress runs TTS. I'm wearing the M.

The SAs all thought the dress was really cute, but it was 90 outside AND I'd just spent a bunch at the Rachel Pally sale so I didn't get it. The knit is lightweight but a teensy bit itchy (but that may have been because of the heat outside). Also, I personally wouldn't pay $148 for 90% acrylic ($74.95 on sale would prob. be my max for this dress). However, other than the fabric content, I found the construction to be very nice and pretty high quality.

that looks really cute on you! (but i agree the price is a bit high!)

luckylily · Gucci

Cute! Thanks for the review, Lilykind. It is *really* flattering on you.

I'm really dissappointed to see the fabric content. Even a small amount of acrylic usually makes me feel like I'm wearing a ziplock bag.

Lilykind, you are the best. Thank you so much for trying on the dress and taking pics. That looks really good on you. Thanks for letting me know about the acrylic material. I will stalk it on anthro to see if it goes on sale.
