Perhaps you could still find it in a smaller size?</p> <p>By the way: that Burberry skirt sounds divine!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/akris-punto-at-nordies-designer-finale-the-one-that-got-away#post-181981 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:00:13 +0000 taylor 181981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>sounds like you scored with the Burberry, so I would let this one go.:)</p> <p>No substitute for a perfect fit, and one size too big is more than a simple tweak, they could likely ruin the dress altogether. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/akris-punto-at-nordies-designer-finale-the-one-that-got-away#post-181954 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 18:57:36 +0000 Jenava 181954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Rosie. I know that; and now that I have some distance I realize it wasn't worth it. I got a great citron Burberry skirt for a killer deal that fits, is flattering, and I'm excited about! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/akris-punto-at-nordies-designer-finale-the-one-that-got-away#post-181644 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:36:14 +0000 Rosie 181644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenava, first I want to say I love your style!! </p> <p>The dress sounds amazing, as most Akris stuff is. BUT you didn't miss out on anything! Not your size, hard to alter, so not a good deal at all! Maybe keep your eye out on eBay? I am sorry they didn't have your size, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/akris-punto-at-nordies-designer-finale-the-one-that-got-away#post-181639 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:24:20 +0000 Jenava 181639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just over at Nordies browsing their designer finale, which is now 15% off the last marked price (some really fab stuff out). I tried on an Akris Punto dress that was marked down from $1000! With the extra discount I could barely have afforded it (and not had any budget left for the Anniversary sale). It was absolutely adorable; A nice pale lime green with an off-center exposed zipper in the back and a cool snap closure belt. BUT - it was a full size too big. and fully lined, so alterations would probably have been spendy. I can't help feeling I missed out on a great opportunity, though. )-: With the alterations it would have been well outside my budget. </p>
