So, I bought this one and it came yesterday. It is a beautiful dress. The F'er doesn't fit, but it is a beautiful dress!

There is actually a snap between the belt of the wrap at the chest, and I cannot get it to close. So, it has to go back. I'm back to the drawing board.

So, I just ordered this dress, in black, in 2 sizes. All reviews say it is blousy in the chest, so hopefully it will fit! It was on sale for $50, so I hope it works, what a steal!

I have a very similar dress from DVF - I adore how flattering it is!

Elle · Hermes

Oh no, GD! I'm sorry the purple one didn't fit :hmm - that is such a bummer.

I really hope the black wrap dress works out for you! Crossing my fingers!

It is so beautiful, I wish I could keep it. But, it would take reduction surgery to make it fit, and by the time I get that done, the dress will be outdated.

I wish I had realized there was a snap above the waist wrap part. I would have known better to order it.

The replacement dress is similar to a more casual black wrap dress I have. But, with this one being silk, it is more dressy. And the sleeves are shorter, so it will have a place in my closet if it works out.

But, now that I am considering a black dress, I am overwhelmed by the options of accessories. I need to choose from the ones I already have, but that is much less fun!

LOL! I've had this exact thought sooo many times when trying on dresses and tops. I just try to remember that some people pay good money for what God gave me naturally. Then I sigh and say "Stupid boobs."
