				<description>&#060;p&#062;The smaller size is perfect.  The first one had too much unnecessary fabric at the sides.  Stunning!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I like the smaller size better.  If you are comfortable in it, go for it.  ;o)  Because, of course, my opinion is all that matters...

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Christy and Sara, I can sit comfortably without any significant pulling in the smaller size so I'm ok there.

				<description>&#060;p&#062;As long as the fit is still breezy and comfortable (it looks that way, but does it pass the sit test?) I like the 4 better. Wishing the 4 had just a bit more length, but girlfriend you have some great legs and should show them off!  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Oh, this smaller size takes it up another couple notches!  It was cute and summery and kaftan-like, now it's much more summer tunic dress.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;In that it's linen, can you sit without any lap tightness problems?  If so, I vote smaller  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Rae, I have to thank you for suggesting that the fit might be a little loose.  I tried the 4 on again, and now I'm thinking it's a better fit.  (see new photos   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Awesome dress!  Very 60's mod and I bet it would look good with white skinnies under it or even boots in the Fall!  It is a lovely color on you!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I was going to suggest a size down at first, and part of me is still curious to see how that fits! But it's a linen dress, and linen should not be tight, so lets stick with this one :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Gorgeous colour!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Thanks, everyone!  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;MNsara, good idea to try it with white leggings.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Claire...it does feel very 60's mod retro...a different look for me.  :)&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Rae, I am debating on the size a little myself.  This is the size 6, but I also ordered a size 4.  I tried the 4 on first and thought it felt a little small, but now I'm thinking I should try it on again and post a comparison photo just to be sure....

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Very fun! At first I thought maybe it was a little lose, but that should be perfect for a pool party. Claire is so right about the 60s vibe!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;This is crazy good! I'll bet you will be the only one in a dress like this at your party. It looks kinda 60's. I remember watching Apollo 13, and the wives of the astronauts were out by the pool (in Florida) and wearing things like this. Very chic!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I think it's perfect for the pool party and perfect on you!  (I tried it in store, but JCrew does *not* cater to us pears  <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-wink icon-emoticon-wink "></span>   Pretty color, flattering shift fit.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I hope you keep it and have fun wearing it!  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I could also see it over cropped leggings for cooler spring weather, but not sure how dramatic black leggings might look with such a fun color . . .

				<description>&#060;p&#062;I'm such a neutral girl most of the time I thought I'd shake things up with a bright tunic dress.  This just arrived over the weekend, and I'm thinking it's a go.  We have a poolside party to attend this coming Sat and I wanted something casual, bright, and fun.  &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;What do you think?&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;UPDATE:  Wise Rae noticed that the dress might be a little loose, then Angie chimed in and said she wouldn't mind seeing the smaller size out of curiosity.  So, I tried on the 4 again and now I'm thinking it really is a better fit than the 6. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Photos 1-3 - Size 6&#060;br /&#062;
Photos 4-6  - Size 4&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;I'm thinking the smaller size is actually better.  It's still loose but just a little closer to the body and more flattering.  Opinions?
&#060;/p&#062;
