When I first saw this dress, I thought wow this could either be kind of cool or a complete disaster depending on how it fits. I'm not usually a floral print person at all, but this dress somehow drew me in! I actually got it in both size 4 and size 6 so I could compare. They are having 30% off sale right now, so it was $180 instead of $259, which was already the discounted price off of the original price of $365. Sooo basically half off from original price.
The size 4 and size 6 are actually not very different at all. Size 6 is has slightly more material falling down from the waist, and the elastic waistband is about an inch longer. But I thought they fit very similarly and I could really go either way. In the end though, I decided to keep the size 4 instead of size 6 because size 6 had a little bit too much material on the back and looked a bit bulkier. I also prefer the slightly tighter fitting waistband of the size 4. But I was really being very picky. If I didn't have the 4, I would have happily kept the 6. Oh but also the print placement of the size 6 I got had a flower right on the left boob which was a little weird to look at. Once you notice that, it's all you can see.
In person, I thought the print was a bit more subtle than the pictures online, which I like even better. It's really not that obvious that this is a floral print. Here's the size 4:
And this is the size 6... looks identical other than the floral boob lol:
The sleeves are super different! They are like straight out of a fairytale...
Back of size 4:
Back of size 6... a bit too much material here I think:
The elasticized belt has snap buttons on the inside to keep it together:
Beautiful dress. Good idea keeping the size 4. Once you pointed out the flower placement on the size 6 that's all I could see too haha
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Haha I know! So funny how that always seems to happen!
DeleteWhat a beautiful spring dress! Perfect for Easter, a wedding shower, or date night. Agree the size 4 fits you best. It's so different (in a good way:) and romantic - great find!!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh I didn't think about Easter! Lol good idea! Thanks :)
DeleteOMG, those sleeves are just so flower power! I had a dress when I was kid that had been handed down to me with sleeves like that. It's one of the few details I like about late sixties, early seventies fashion.
ReplyDeleteThe 4 really looks good on you.
