So first, I couldn't help but to get the New Jeanne Two wrap dress in black. This same dress in deep navy is on sale at Nordstrom right now. I just wanted black, even though black is not a "DVF thing", because it's just so damn versatile. Sometimes you really just need a nice fitting black dress. The thing with the black though is that it is not made of silk like my other wrap dresses from DVF. It is made of jersey, which is 100% viscose. It doesn't feel quite as nice. But the fit is the same otherwise. I got it in size 4, as usual.
I'm actually wearing a slip under this dress, which is where you see the lace peeking out. I think it's kinda cute like this! I'm wearing a slip because 1. It shows less cleavage, and 2. This dress in this fabric is not as heavy as the silk version. So you can actually see bra and underwear lines a little. A slip underneath helps hide any of that.
The second dress I got is 100% silk. It is the Valencia wrap dress in "rockscape". I think it's such a different pattern, and super cool! I'd never have imagined that the different colors and patterns in this print could work well together, but it somehow does.
So the main differences between this wrap dress style and the Jeanne Two are 1. This one does not have a collar, 2. It is about an inch or so shorter, 3. It is not as low cut in the chest, and 4. It has ruching in the chest area on the side of the wrap that goes on top. I actually really like this last feature. The ruching is very flattering, it helps hide flaws.
The Valencia is a great style! Too bad it seems to be sold out everywhere online. I wonder if DVF will make this style again. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it!
Wow. I really like the patterned one. Looks great on you!
