I hadn't been there in many years and I think the last time was to buy a toaster at their home sale. They didn't have this dress or the other one in stock. All they seemed to have was wide swaths of Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Jones NY. It was all rather low key and not at all edgy. I guess I have to go to the NYC bloomingdale's for that. </p> <p>As much as I loved the Tibi dress online, I started having second thoughts about it in the store. The rest of the wedding party and guests are going to be wearing head to toe black designer duds. Russian weddings are all about extravagant exuberant excess. I have spent my life dressed inappropriately at these family events that I never felt like I fit into completely. I'm starting to get worried that if I show up in this, it may be mistaken for a beach sarong amongst all of the glamorous gowns. I want to dress like me but I also don't want to stick out. Sadly I think this dress is being shelved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340447 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:58:36 +0000 Auburn 340447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you've gotten good feedback. I'm a 4 pretty much across the board but always size up to a 6 in Tibi.<br /> Also, it's friends and family at Saks so be sure to get your 20% off!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340419 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:01:44 +0000 catgirl 340419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous dress! I think Tibi runs small - I have gotten to the point where size has no relevance - I'm anywhere from a 2 to a 10 depending on brand somehow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340357 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 19:59:20 +0000 Heather 340357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, I randomly saw this on Piperlime, too. Perhaps you can dig up a coupon for that site? =D</p> <p>I cannot wait! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340020 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:14:52 +0000 Julie 340020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the strapless style. But, I've never worn it to anything approaching a wedding. As I said, I wear it with faded jeans, and black jeans, I would imagine you could also after its use at the wedding. I did try on the LS but chose the strapless because of the "cute" factor.<br /> Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340018 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:11:03 +0000 modgrl 340018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@julie - duh! I should have said strapless or LS! I like that one too but the wedding is in summer and I don't think it would work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340010 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 02:02:09 +0000 Julie 340010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um, Modgirl. There are no sleeves. Are we looking at the right dress?</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-340000 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:52:23 +0000 CocoLion 340000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! Looks like the bust is where it must fit most precisely, I'd go with measurements for that. The waist and hips looks looser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339991 Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:39:33 +0000 modgrl 339991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everybody! Now I am getting really excited about this dress. There is a Sak's not too far from me. I may just have to go check it out in person. </p> <p>@Julie, do you have the long sleeve or short sleeve version? </p> <p>@Londonkiwi, I'll probably be asking for YLF shoe and jewelry suggestions. My inclination is to keep it simple with a dress like this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339854 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:45:37 +0000 amyreh 339854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress is gorgeous, I would say perfect for a summer wedding! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339851 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 20:41:37 +0000 taylor 339851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>adorable dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339724 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 16:39:32 +0000 Laurie 339724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that dress is perfect for a summer wedding- bring<br /> color to the crowd. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339655 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:17:05 +0000 Heather 339655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is incredible and you will look amazing in it. I always size up one in Tibi, too. I cannot wait to see it on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339653 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 15:15:30 +0000 thimblelina 339653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Otherwise, you might be able to have them send 2 w/ a return label gratis. They will charge for both but immediately credit back when you return one. Some companies are better about this than others. It's a great looking dress and I think you will be lovely in it provided the fit is good. I have heard that party dress sizing is different than daydress/sportswear sizing so I would forget numbers and look for key places you want an exact fit on your body! Can't wait to see it on you!

I think that it is a great length without being immodest. What shoes and jewellery will you wear with it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339636 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:52:01 +0000 Julie 339636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG!!! I have that dress, and just love it! I did however have to go up one size from my usual. My only complaint was working the closure for the built in bra. Fumbly Fingers. I've worn it with faded jeans, and black ones, and everyone always has nice things to say about it. It says dry clean only, but I hand wash it in icy cold water, and mild soap. So far, so good.</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339633 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:49:20 +0000 Dashrashi 339633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Tibi does run small. Where are you a 2/4? I'm a 2/4 at J Crew and Gap (but a 4-6 at places like Banana Republic and Anthropologie) and I would definitely try a 6 or an 8 in Tibi. I wouldn't be surprised to need a 10 either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339610 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:21:49 +0000 Mo 339610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure but I see I am a S on their modern apparel chart, but a M on the designer chart as well. Could you do a live chat with someone and ask about measurements? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-ok-for-a-summer-wedding#post-339600 Tue, 26 Apr 2011 13:59:11 +0000 modgrl 339600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm checking out this dress for a summer wedding. Most of the guests will be wearing something short, tight and black. I was really hoping to wear color but I don't want to be too far outside of the environmental norm. </p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446402537&#038;R=885551063823&#038;P_name=Tibi&#038;sid=12F920C6FC74&#038;Ntt=Tibi&#038;N=0&#038;bmUID=i_hwU04" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=i_hwU04</a></p> <p>I can't figure out the sizing. According to the size chart I am an 8/10. Normally I am wearing 2/4. Does anyone know about Tibi sizing? Does it run extremely small? Any idea how it might look on a petite apple shape? </p> <p>Thanks for any help! </p>
