I know some of you were wanting this dress too, so I thought I'd give it a quick review
Anyways, it's really cute IRL, almost a jersey-like material, and really comfy. I had a beater on when I tried it on, and loved how that looked. I'm not sure if I got it *too* big, but I'll let you guys help me with that once I take pics of it on
For fit, I'd say size up one from what the AE size chart says you are in hip measurements. I know that if I had gone with the size chart measurement, it would've been tight.
Oh, and I'll be taking those IRL pics after work tonight..
That is so cute. I love it in brown. Does it have a built-in shelf bra? Just curious.
Nope, it doesn't have a shelf bra in it...Hence, that's probably why I'll be wearing beaters under it, so I can still wear a normal bra with it (I don't do strapless)..
Collette: I have a feeling that it won't be in stores until the end of this month. Don't quote me on that though. I only think this because my local store doesn't have them and they told me they don't get new floor set until the end of this month....Bigger city stores could get it in sooner though..
Collette, they didn't have it in my store either. So I'm sad with you.
Same, I went there today and the sales clerk had no idea whether or not thye would be getting them. (It's really bad how it seems at many chain stores the headquarters doesn't tell the sales people what items to expect. Don't they realize that people do online window shopping?)
I think it fits you well - agree that it would look pretty silly too small, since it's supposed to be a little loose. It would look hot with a belt too!
And you, my dear, must wear skirts more often! I have many dancer-friends that would kill for calves/ankles/feet like yours!

Carrie it is so you, keep it and it looks great with you- Wow I see your legs they are not covered up with tights or jeans HOT!!!!!! You must show them more often
That looks great on you! You have me wanting that dress now. It seems really versatile. You could wear it with a beater underneath, with a shrug/cardi over it, or to the beach as a coverup.
I've actually decided that I'm going to exchange it for the next size down; While I don't totally mind it in this size, I just don't feel it's a proper fit when I'm wearing it. I think a medium will fit a lot better, but still give me that slouchiness that I like.
