On sale for $112, down from like $340. Is it gorgeous or am I blinded by the price? I've always wanted a supply of DVF wrap dresses in my closet. Eventually, I'd like to buy one every year or two to build up a collection.
Dress on skinny,tall model
Dress on petite, curvy Lilykind
Please excuse the slight back bulge...I think I tied the dress too tightly, but that's adjustable. Also, I will most likely NOT wear Havaianas with it.
Pros:
I LOVE the print.
I think the dress is for the most part really flattering. I would probably get the hem taken up a couple of inches so it'd be knee length.
The back is a little different from the typical DVF wrap.
I CAN WEAR A BRA!
I live in Los Angeles, so I can wear sleeveless dresses year round.
Cons:
I have large "farmer" arms and am not sure if this sleeve style flatters them.
Is the scale of the chain link print on the bottom half too large? I'm kind of petite (5' 3")
THIS DRESS IS A SIZE 10! If I'm a size 10 (I'm normally a 4-6), who the f*** is supposed to be able to wear this?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!
Please let me know your thoughts! TIA!
ETA: The CON in bold and the back view of the dress on the model since my hair is blocking the back view of the dress on me.
Lilykind, I'm also a size 10 in DVF dresses. And I'm normally a size 6 in skirts, and 8 in dresses. I wouldn't worry about what the tag says, especially when that dress looks so great on you. $112 is a steal - I'd buy it, get it altered like you want, and wear it until it falls apart. :)

You seriously have to get it. First of all it looks fabulous on you, the color/design is awesome, and what a bargain at $112. I think you will end up regretting it if you don't

I would say that I am usually honest with you on how things look, so when I say this looks great on you and is very flattering I am being honest. I think you must get this dress since it is at such a great price and looks wonderful on you. Even if it is a size 10, it shows off your tiny waist and makes your bust look great. The pattern is amazing and is very lilykind. I don't think the print at the bottom is too big. Looks great on you. Congrats on finding such an amazing dress!!

Totally agree. I don't think the chest issues are a con. My first reaction when I saw your pix & before reading your stuff was that you looked gorgeous. Get it!

Get it I think it looks great on you and if you're worried it's a liitle snug it's nothing some Spanx won't solve. I however don't think you need them it's very flattering on! If you don't mind sharing where did you find it on sale for $112?
