I love dots, stripes, pretty much anything black and white!</p> <p>If the zig zag dress comes into stock, I would urge you to get it. I think you will love it. I sure do, and we are shaped and sized somewhat similarly, I think. </p> <p>You could also try different sizing options, if you are open to trying straight and plus sizes. I flip between both size ranges and in this case it might help you out availability wise.</p> <p>I ordered a 14W from Nordstrom and a 16W from Macy's (only places it was available, I feel your pain). I ended up keeping the 14W, the 16W was too big in the bust for me. </p> <p>If you are desperate you could call Austin TX Macy's at Barton Square Mall, I returned the 16W there last week :)</p> <p>Honestly I am in love with this dress. It is every bit as flattering as the photos show. I hope to post a WIW soon.</p> <p>Keep me posted, maybe we can be dress twins soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-853769 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 21:19:28 +0000 Thistle 853769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, abc! I have been stalking that dress, but it is not currently in my size. I keep hoping it will come in. For a long time I thought store didn't carry my size, this season I have learned they just sell out super fast. Like in less than 2 weeks fast.</p> <p>I went for #2, the flutter sleeve. I loved them both, but I felt like it balanced out my pear shape a little better with more on top. It was really, really hard to choose though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-853720 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:36:43 +0000 abc 853720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So which did you decide to keep, Thistle? We want to know which you chose and why! :)</p> <p>I am not sure if you are interested but I just got this dress and it is gorgeous (but has sleeves so may not work for layering like you mentioned - but it is a RL black and white dress, since that seems to be the direction of this post at least) . </p> <p>It comes in reg and plus sizes too - Macys carries it also in case Nordstrom is out of your size. It is not a full on wrap dress but the mid-section is pieced to give the same effect. I think you might like it.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/lauren-ralph-lauren-contoured-stripe-sheath-dress/3363466" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/la.....ss/3363466</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-850539 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 03:29:40 +0000 Sarah A 850539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am on the bolder dot (prefer on #1) but with flutter sleeve (prefer #2) bandwagon. In which case i think the sleeve wins out over the dot. #2 is overall better IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-850515 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 02:39:16 +0000 lyn* 850515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear jackets with flutter sleeves all the time - I think #1 is more SUMMER! and #2 is a classic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-850496 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:53:14 +0000 Anonymous 850496@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go with Angie's choice. She knows her stuff! The smaller dots are still fun but look more adaptable to fall/winter. I doubt those flutter sleeves have enough volume to make wearing a jacket an issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-850471 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:38:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 850471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the flutter sleeved dress in #2 - I think the sleeves provide good balance to your hips, if that makes sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses/page/2#post-850448 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:20:12 +0000 pil 850448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The bigger, brighter pattern in 1 is what appealed to me right off the bat but Tina.b has a point about the sleeves. Tough decision : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850437 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 01:04:28 +0000 kkards 850437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the pointy toe flat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850330 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:20:57 +0000 biscuitsmom 850330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but #1 seems more 'fresh' and versatile without the sleeves, although I totally agree w/Angie you wear those sleeves extremely well. Plus I like the bigger dots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850289 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:49:36 +0000 tarzy 850289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - you look amazing in both of these! Please get one of them! (Personally, I find Angie is usually right.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850284 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 21:42:08 +0000 Caro in Oz 850284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 by a mile - the sleeves work really with your shape &amp; balances the proportions of your body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850231 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:07:17 +0000 rae 850231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you want to wear the dress with toppers like cardis and jackets, and since you said you don't have much warm weather, #1 will work much better. You won't have to worry about how the top layer fits over the sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850228 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 20:04:32 +0000 unfrumped 850228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, if you really need this to work well with a jacket and some mild winterizing, try them with some jackets and/or tights and maybe something will click. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850208 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:38:40 +0000 Echo 850208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The smaller dots of #2 will be easier to "winterize", IMO, but the flutter sleeves might be less comfortable under cardis or jackets or other cold-weather toppers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850200 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:28:58 +0000 Sara L. 850200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 because of the smaller dots. I think the dark color will winterize well with a cardi/jacket, tights and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850171 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:05:35 +0000 Tina.b 850171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to go with #2 as I think the flutter sleeves are perfect with your more narrow shoulder width. You are lucky because this isn't a look most people can easily pull off. You should see me in a flutter or cap sleeve, it is a total disaster! But your proportions look great here, and I love the dots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850116 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:27:10 +0000 harmonica 850116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is a hard one - i like both, but leaning towards #2. Keep us posted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850107 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:23:07 +0000 jayne 850107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Going to #2. like the subtle dots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850098 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:19:33 +0000 suzyq 850098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On first glance I preferred #1. Looking closer I like the balance the sleeves bring in 2. I also think You notice you first in #2. #1 you notice the dots first, nothing wrong with that. You are winterizing with a topper and cami so not sure the sleeves are an issue. Both are lovely and now I want dots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-850005 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 17:38:58 +0000 deb 850005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1.

We both liked the flutter sleeves on the second, but the bolder dots on the first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-849943 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:53:21 +0000 Jules 849943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both great. I liked the first one best at first glance but given that you have to choose, I think it makes a bit of a retro statement. Whereas the second one is a little softer, perhaps more versatile, and maybe more you, since you tend classic and don't generally have a retro element going on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-849938 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:42:44 +0000 Suz 849938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2!! You look wonderful in that dress. </p> <p>I do like the strong graphic dots of dress 1, but feel the sleeves are less flattering to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-849914 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 16:18:42 +0000 Isis 849914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote #1!

And I like the faux wrap part of the bodice better in 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-%e2%80%93-dotty-dresses#post-849853 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 15:40:44 +0000 shedev 849853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like # 2. </p>
