I really like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516993 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 23:32:01 +0000 Dee 1516993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about getting the measurements. Otherwise, I usually find its easier to tailor things that are too large rather than too small... And oversized is in now, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516942 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 22:01:25 +0000 Anonymous 1516942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read peri's response and then re-read your initial post, rachylou.<br /> I misunderstood the situation.<br /> Yes, definitely have a chat with the seller about the size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516920 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:53:47 +0000 Vildy 1516920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well, it might be a whole lot more useful to get him to measure the dress - waist, armpit to armpit, width across back shoulders, back waist length. This last is really good for figuring out if the waist of the dress is going to work with where your own waist is.&nbsp; Also depends on how much or little you want to blouse a dress like this. If you do want to blouse it, make sure the back waist length is several inches lower than your own measurement. You can figure out your back waist by measuring any waisted dress you own if you don't have another person handy to help out.&nbsp; It's usually from the bump on the back of your neck to the waist. <br />Then would be good to know where he was starting to measure from. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516910 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:19:35 +0000 Peri 1516910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you are emailing a specific person who is hands on with the dress? I'd send him your measurements to see how they compare with the co-worker! Then surely he can advise pretty well from there.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516907 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:14:23 +0000 Greyscale 1516907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, that dress looks so much like one of my mother's favorite dresses from when she was my age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516904 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 20:11:48 +0000 Greyscale 1516904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on where you are larger and where you are smaller. If I'm between sizes, I should order up in jackets (broad shoulders, and I hate not being able to move my arms) and jeans (athletic thighs) but down in skirts because my hips are narrow and skirts don't need to accommodate my thighs. For instance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516890 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:55:22 +0000 Style Fan 1516890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a great dress.&nbsp; Hard to know what size to buy online.&nbsp; I have every size in my wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516883 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:50:01 +0000 Anonymous 1516883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not but a dress final sale online!

But then, I didn't realize I should use my own solution until much later than I should have.

(This is after I do what crutcher suggests and stalk reviews to pick which two sizes...)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516867 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:28:17 +0000 rachylou 1516867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. I will do these things! I should have put my measurements in my email. I was going to. I forgot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516861 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:23:11 +0000 crutcher 1516861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this available anywhere else so that you can read reviews on sizing?...If not, I would go with the 4 since it is one size up...You don't look like a 6 unless this is a really strange cut dress...Hope this helps.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516857 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:21:30 +0000 Sara L. 1516857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you ask for specific measurements?&nbsp; That might be more helpful to figure out the right size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-sizing-what-would-you-do-to-annagybe-all#post-1516852 Wed, 08 Jul 2015 19:12:22 +0000 rachylou 1516852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right o'. So I suck at online shopping. I get all squeamy, esp. when I really like something specific. I emailed about sizes about this <a href="http://www.francesmay.com/products/creatures-of-comfort-madras-misch-dress" rel="nofollow">dress</a> below (found by brilliant annagybe).</p> <p>Agustin wrote back to me and said he made his co-worker, size 2, try it on and that it fit big. But he also said it was meant to fit loosely. I <i>generally</i> wear a size 4, but you know how it is: In New York sizes, I'm a *smart fat girl.*</p> <p>What would you do? Size 4 or size 6?</p>
