The dress looks gorgeous on you. Beautiful scarf. You did well.

Wow that dress and scarf are so elegant on you. Actually the scarf is much, much nicer in your photo than the stock photo.

Thank you all! I did do well!! Surprise, surprise, paying attention to Angie's recommendations is a good idea.

Joy, as far as I know the ML dress does not come in petite. It comes in larger sizes but not lower than 0. If it does and I missed it, then I might be tempted to order it in the petite myself. The regular surely fits but I suspect the torso length would be a bit better for me in a petite size and the length more like on the model. I do think it works perfectly well in the regular, though.

Everything is smashing on you. I figured that dress would be a slam dunk. Immy order has not even shipped yet, so I’m living vicariously through you all.

The dress looks fantastic on you. No returns - wonderful!

Suz -- I am so happy that everything is working out for you as well it is. That dress is gorgeous on you!! So perfect for your style. The booties are sublime with the dress. Perfect.

Again, so happy to hear of your success. Wear it all in good health.

Wow! The dress is fabulous on you! This has been a very good NAS for you this year, and with more to come!

Wow, that dress is great on you! It was hideous on me. Moral of the story: anything that is right for you and Angie is wrong for me!

Agree that you are a better scarf model than the website's!

Came back to see the pictures....that dress is fab! Love. Every thing looks good as well
Yeah for great sale!

Ooh, everything looks great! No returns? I can only stand in awe at your awesome shopping skills.

I had another go at the Zella sweater after my first order was canceled. Fingers crossed!

Love the dress on you! The flowers aren't my color, otherwise I'd be tempted after seeing how well the regular midi length works on petites.

And the booties look great! I don't see any problems with the ankle fit, but then it was hard to photograph on mine as well. If you can't make up your mind, post a K/R later on with insoles fitted and a sunny day?

Woot loot!

Love the dress. I am trying it- not here yet. If I have sized right.

The dress is stunning on you! My favorite but all of these are excellent choices. The boots look fab to me.

Yum yum!

Wow, all choices are fab, but my faves are the dress and boots, yummy indeed!:-)

You look awesome in all these pics! Looks like it was a successful sale for you

Looks like you had a great NAS so far! Loving that dress on you. I was tempted except I m never happy with beige and black, preferring a pure white and black with my coloring. But you look smashing!

Aquamarine -- I was concerned that the flowers might be too warm for me, too, but took a chance. I also prefer a pure white with my silver hair -- most creams and beiges are awful on me. But this is not beige -- it's blush. They call it "coral" but the flowers are neutral blush rather than warm or cool. (I was hoping for cool pink, but hey, you can't have everything!). Anyway, it's neutral enough that with the predominant black it works. So you might give it a whirl just in case.

Suz, I'm always amazed at your shopping skills. You did so well. Always nice to get a thumbs up from the Mr. too.

I had to pass on the Aquatalia booties, they did not fit my calves and I was bummed because they are gorgeous!

I hope the EF shoes and dress work out as well.

That dress could not fit more perfectly , but I'm a bit surprised no one else other than me is bothered by the seam down the front of the dress and the lack of pattern matching. I noticed this in the stock photo too right from the first time we saw this dress in Angie's finds , and all I can see are flowers cut in half etc. Perhaps I'm seeing something that's not there. Anyways - boots, sweater, scarf etc - everything is great on you, as usual. Can't see the boots well enough in the photo to detect any ankle-fit issues . I think I need to take up marathon daily walks - it clearly works well for you

LisaP, you're right about the centre seam and lack of pattern matching on the dress. IRL, the dress has so much movement that (for me at least) this is not a problem. The centre seam is part of the fit genius of the dress (the ruching detail depends on it -- different to ruching on other many other dresses I've had, it emanates from the centre vs. on the sides, as with many sheaths) and that's what gives the dress its "flow." I think it's probably a personal preference thing. I have low tolerance for non-matching geometric patterns (stripes and plaids) and relatively high tolerance for non-matching florals and abstracts. So to my eye it looks fine. But others who tried it on (Barbara Diane, I think?) were bothered by pattern placement. Not at the middle but by flowers on one shoulder and not on another -- that kind of thing.)

Wow, wow, wow! Great choices! Suz, you really know your style and colors. The dress is phenomenal! It's a lot of dress, but it's so flattering and I love the eye flow it gives with the metallic sandals. Book ending with your silver and cream sandals will be fantastic, too! Will you wear tights later on?

The hoodie is super cute, too. You dress so well when you're at home. I should, but I have such a hard time investing in lounge clothes (well, I know you're working, not lounging!)

Did you end up buying the Nord. Signature periwinkle hoodie? I tried it on b/c the color is sublime, but I look so much better in a low neck. I think the color would be AMAZING on you!!

Ah - I didn't realize that there was ruching down the front, which makes more sense for pattern matching not being an issue. It's a great dress, and I bet you'll wear it a ton.

Thanks for the post, Suz. I also have the sapphire boots and was a little concerned about the sagging around the ankles but decided they are so gorgeous I want to keep them.

hbeaver, I think the ankle fit might have to do in part with the calf fit. If the calf is snug it won't pull up all the way. So people whose calves are the wrong shape for the shoe will struggle. On me, the calf fit is just on the edge.

Lisa, there's ruching in a kind of starburst pattern on the front and also some on the back. So IRL instead of "mismatched pattern" you see "overall movement" or texture. There are visible folds in the fabric on the torso.

Dana, yes -- this dress is a fall/winter weight for me, not summer, so I will wear hose or tights most of the time with it. And probably booties rather than sandals. I just happened to be wearing those for try on. I plan to try it with the footwear below.

I didn't buy the Nordstrom periwinkle hoodie. I am SO tempted by the colour but it is so much money!! Did you like the texture/ weight of it?

You look fantastic in that dress! Great picks!

The floral dress looks wonderful on you! Such a perfect fit!
Booties are gorgeous. I love the square toe and the height of the shaft.
Excited to hear about the navy shirt dress. I am so tempted but am trying very hard to focus on winter items!

You scored with your first order! The ML dress is gorgeous on you. The hoodie is your color, and it looks super warm and comfy for working or lounging at home. And a sapphire boot—how awesome is that?!

LOL about nose jewelry...it could be kind of cute. And of course the cranberry print scarf is lovely on you. Congratulations on a great haul!

I’m still waiting, impatiently, for my first order, placed one week ago. Nordstrom’s is still “getting it ready” for shipping. Can’t wait!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how you look in that dress you are still awaiting! It appeals to me so much.

Ah, yes, I do see blush in your photos, much more so than the Nordstrom photo. Very pretty!
