RE: DVF dress! Vote for your Fave and help with sizing!

Sandy · Kate Spade

I agree with FP that the red woud be more transitional, but there's just something about the green... I

it.

daiz519 · Dooney & Bourke

Well, I love the color of the red but I like the pattern of the green more. It does look more flattering. I voted green because of that but it was really close.

Lilykind · Hermes

The green would look better on you IMO.

I have always had to size up in DVF. I usually wear a 6 in dresses at boutiques and take an 8 in DVF because of the chest, but also because of the waist...those wrap dresses run so tiny that I won't buy one because I feel fat in an 8.

Bex, I love the red dress!!! Very cute!!!!

calico · Kenneth Cole

I like both soooo much, but ultimately it depends on what colour looks best on you I would think. I'm really fair with pink undertones, so green would look better on me, but if you are one of those lucky girls that can wear pretty much any colour, then I would lean more towards the red because, like FP and others said, it is less seasonal than the green.

either. both. i'm no help. i like the red color, but mara has a good point about the print. i think you'll look awesome in whichever one you choose.

man, i am struggling with this decision so much!

originally i was pulled towards the red. but then the BF suggested the green b/c i want a red dress that is at our anthro right now and he thought perhaps 2 red dresses would not be a good idea as my first two purchases of dresses for the new year. good point, BF...

i like the green... and i feel perhaps the pattern would be more flattering b/c of the all over pattern whereas the red has a larger pattern to it.

as suggested, i'll order a 6 in the dress b/c of what some of you have described of the fit. lilykind i have a small chest (34B) and a small waist but ALL of my junk is in my trunk and thighs... usually b/c of this, i can wear a 4 in most dresses but i'll size up to a 6 in this one b/c like some of you said- it's a wrap dress and i can adjust as needed, right?
