I think you were right to be returning the dress fromt he original post, it's just not as "Maya". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157191 Sun, 16 May 2010 02:54:24 +0000 chewyspaghetti 157191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is adorable- I can totally see you in that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157182 Sun, 16 May 2010 02:26:46 +0000 Maya 157182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nevermind fixed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157181 Sun, 16 May 2010 02:24:47 +0000 Maya 157181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOOOO I am so excited. This dress didn't work out, and neither did the Gabriella Rocha Aalok dress (that was even worse than this one), but I did find this dress which Angie wanted me to get. At the time it was only available in a large but it came back in a small so I jumped on it! </p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/gabriella-rocha-banagher-black" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/gabriell.....gher-black</a></p> <p>I'm excited. I love an exposed zip and it looks pretty flop proof for me, provided it is long enough. I hope that mannequin is taller than me. Fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157165 Sun, 16 May 2010 01:28:31 +0000 Isabel 157165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others : it looks too big on you. I really like the dress and you look fab in white.....but it just isn't the right size for you. Sorry.</p> <p>( I love lwc's comment about how you don't look happy in it ! ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157125 Sat, 15 May 2010 23:07:05 +0000 Christie 157125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I am almost 5 months pregnant and would love to wear that! But I wouldn't fit an XS or a S even when not pregnant ... </p> <p>The dress is too big on you and you have a darling figure, so return it and find something that highlights your shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157111 Sat, 15 May 2010 21:13:45 +0000 florida 157111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is too big, but I think it would be cute in a smaller size. Plain white with those delicate details, I really think that you could make it fab with cute shoes and accessories. But if the XS was too small in the bust... oh, well. There are plenty of other fish in the sea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157100 Sat, 15 May 2010 19:00:58 +0000 Maya 157100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, this is a Max Studio dress, and when I picked up the small instead of the extra small, I could hear Laura's voice in my head telling me that I was getting the wrong size...</p> <p>Sorry Laura. I'll listen to you next time!</p> <p>Part of the problem is that it has a really cute ruffle detail along the empire waist that is being obscured by my massive chest. It really isn't that special otherwise. I doubt I'll go for an XS as it would be too tight in the chest and the detail would be covered even more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157088 Sat, 15 May 2010 18:46:49 +0000 April 157088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does look big on you, but also looks like it would be light and cool in summer. If you are only keeping the best of the best, this probably doesn't make the cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157052 Sat, 15 May 2010 16:52:14 +0000 Kyle 157052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not nearly fab enough for our always fab Maya. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157045 Sat, 15 May 2010 16:23:11 +0000 Alecia 157045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Return. It's not great. </p> <p>My rack experiences are kind of hit or miss, too. But I do like to pop in, especially for shoes. Mid-pregnancy I happened upon a boat load of Me Toos and brought home a couple pair. Those things have been life savers. So they do sometimes have Me Toos, at least at my Rack. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157004 Sat, 15 May 2010 14:15:29 +0000 chewyspaghetti 157004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree- return it. You can do so much better. I'm glad your Rack finally opened. It's a place best reserved for oodles of time, and no children in tow (which is why I hardly ever get there). But, if you have something specific in mind it may be worth a lunchtime trip (like Sweet Pea tops or something). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-157001 Sat, 15 May 2010 14:07:54 +0000 Laura 157001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Rack is very hit or miss. And it can be a huge waste of precious time, too. If you have loads of time to go through all of the rounders, searching for that one item you really wanted and didn't want to pay full price -- fine. Otherwise I find it better to watch the Nordstrom website for sales, you know?</p> <p>I like Lesley's sentiment about motherhood and shopping ... no time to shop, rushing through stores, grabbing stuff without trying it on ... ahhh!</p> <p>p.s. return </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156988 Sat, 15 May 2010 13:22:15 +0000 Sarah Baker 156988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, it's a little too big. If you were able to find it a size or two smaller, it would be worth it, I think. I like the look of it, it's just too big all over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156911 Sat, 15 May 2010 03:19:40 +0000 Beth 156911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely a return. Love your shoes, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156910 Sat, 15 May 2010 03:17:03 +0000 Queen Mum 156910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>not so fab... another vote for return </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156899 Sat, 15 May 2010 01:41:12 +0000 MNsara 156899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - too big on you! Go back to return it and hopefully you'll have time to try on things. </p> <p>I agree about too many occasion dresses at our NRack too. Could it be because people return special occasion dresses more frequently?? Or are there just too many let at the end of each season? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156895 Sat, 15 May 2010 01:21:58 +0000 Maya 156895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you would LOVE the Union Square Rack then Lesley. Tons of SW shoes and all sorts of non-standard sizes, and a really nice premium denim selection. If I were in the market for premium denim, I would have been a happy camper.</p> <p>I'm not actually sure why I posted the dress now that I think of it because I seem to have already made up my mind! I can't imagine anyone is going to object and call it killer or anything.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156893 Sat, 15 May 2010 01:18:58 +0000 lwc 156893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to motherhood, Maya! LOL.</p> <p>Seriously, I think that it looks big on you. And you don't look very happy in it. I much prefer your other fab finds. I know how it is though. This year, the dress-thing is a she-dog!</p> <p>BTW, The Rack does vary from place to place. Even the 2 in my area are different - one has more designer stuff than the other. So, I travel a greater distance for better selection, especially for 9.5 narrow SW shoes and premium denim!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-most-likely-return-nordstrom-rack-dress#post-156885 Sat, 15 May 2010 01:08:04 +0000 Maya 156885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally went to the Rack over my lunch break and I have to say I was sort of disappointed. It's tiny, much smaller than I expected. It was also very crowded though surprisingly organized. Since my lunch is only an hour long I didn't have nearly enough time as I needed though, so I'm sure this experience is not representative of future visits. My main gripes were that there were way too many occasion dresses compared to nice casual or biz casual dresses, my size was difficult to find, and most of the shoes were too expensive for me even with a discount. I don't know if I was in the equivalent of salon shoes or what, but they were mostly Stuart Weitzman or Cole Haan or other brands in that price range. I didn't see any Me Toos or anything like that. </p> <p>Anyway, I'm rambling. I saw this dress and wanted to try it on but the fitting room wait was outrageous, and I had to get back to work, so I just bought it and figured I can return it if need be. And I think I should. It looks ok from the front but not great (obviously I need a cami, which sort of defeats the purpose of such a sweet sun dress). From the side, I look like I'm maybe 5 months pregnant. It looked way different on the hanger than it does on my body.</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_2526.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_2526.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_2527.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_2527.jpg</a></p> <p>Not so fab, am I right? Hopefully when I go to return it I'll find something else. </p>
