You wear black&amp; white very well, but you glow in other colors and you look bombshell in other dress styles. Hold out for something fabber ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1486440 Mon, 04 May 2015 16:38:56 +0000 Sara L. 1486440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you already decided against the wrap dresses.&nbsp; I think the sheath dress from your other post is more flattering.&nbsp;</p> <p> I gained about 10 pounds when I quit nursing as well.&nbsp; Plus, it was right before the holidays so the timing wasn't good.&nbsp; It's coming off but it's slow going.&nbsp; I have to keep reminding myself that any progress, no matter how slow, is progress, and not to be impatient. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1486216 Mon, 04 May 2015 03:04:23 +0000 abc 1486216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you arrived at a decision. It's the clothes, not us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1486214 Mon, 04 May 2015 02:59:06 +0000 goldenpig 1486214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you all are right, the wrap style is not the best for apples. (Darn you, DVF!) And I don't think the black and white chain print is different enough from my current two dresses to justify keeping. Plus I think the Maggy London faux wrap waist point hits me at a better spot and the draping helps. So back the DVFs go...at least I do have my new L148 sheath dress to keep me happy! I think I've gotten a lot pickier since I started YLF, which is good, because my closet is pretty full now! Thanks for the advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1486175 Mon, 04 May 2015 02:09:00 +0000 frannieb 1486175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure a wrap dress is you best style. I think you would look better in a sheath dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485626 Sat, 02 May 2015 21:09:25 +0000 catgirl 1485626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want a DVF dress too! You and I are such similar shapes - I think my shoulders are broader but otherwise I look much the same in a wrap. I much prefer your current dresses to either DVF. I think the tie does nothing at all for those of us with an apple shape. Plus I have no waist.</p> <p>The chain link dress is K-worthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485624 Sat, 02 May 2015 21:00:06 +0000 Karie 1485624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the black chain link print. The fit is much better. The two you already own are gorgeous!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485593 Sat, 02 May 2015 19:14:33 +0000 Joyce B 1485593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the fit of the second dress is better and I also like the Maggie London best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485580 Sat, 02 May 2015 18:10:50 +0000 harmonica 1485580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Janet, too. The beautiful drape in the Maggie London dress is very flattering and quite different from the DVF chain dress. I would keep looking for a similar drape. And I hear you on post-three babies weight gain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485453 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:33:07 +0000 E 1485453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the ones you own more than the new DVF dresses. If I were you, I'd look for a DVF dress in a rich, autumnal-type colour, because I love how you look in those, and it would provide a greater variety to the dresses you already own. I don't think you should give up on wrap dresses because of your body though! You've got gorgeous curves that fill them out beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485445 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:25:24 +0000 Tanya 1485445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Janet here.&nbsp; I like the chain link one for you, but would probably wait for another print that is significantly different from the wrap dresses you already have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485442 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:17:25 +0000 Beth Ann 1485442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK -- I like the blue best, Natalie!&nbsp; The print is feminine and vibrant, but sophisticated, like you!&nbsp; I think the camera in #3 exaggerates the line of your abdomen.&nbsp; If it were a pic snapped from a&nbsp; full side view, taken about 6-8 feet away, your curves would be integrated into all of you.&nbsp; With my wrap dresses, I often layer a solid belt over the tie for a bit of structure.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485434 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:00:37 +0000 Janet 1485434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the chain link print better, too, but I I'd be reluctant to add another black and white print because it's so similar to the one you have. DVF has so many prints (and I personally run hot or cold on their prints), I might be inclined to keep looking. I don't *dislike* the blue print, but something about it is not wowing me. I realize that print taste is completely subjective though, so feel free to ignore me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485433 Sat, 02 May 2015 12:59:11 +0000 Anonymous 1485433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the chain link dress.

The black one really is superb though...I was trying second the "splitting your wears" issue, but I just really think the black one is meant to live with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485271 Sat, 02 May 2015 00:49:49 +0000 abc 1485271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the chain link print. If there's room for it I would keep as long as it won't make you split wears with the others if that's a concern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-dvf-wrap-dresses#post-1485267 Sat, 02 May 2015 00:37:08 +0000 goldenpig 1485267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What do you think of these Diane von Furstenberg wrap dresses? I have a 20 year old Banana Republic wrap dress (9) and a Maggy London black and white faux wrap dress (7-8). I've been wanting for a long time to add a DVF wrap dress to my collection, but have had bad luck in the past with them not fitting right with my apple shape. I think the belt tends to cut right across my belly. Unfortunately I'm at my highest non-pregnant weight in a while--I am done nursing for the first time in almost 8 years, but because of that my weight has crept up about 10 lb and it seems to be all in my apple belly! I'm actually 1st trimester pregnant in 7-8, but I think my belly is even bigger now! Since I don't think it's going away anytime soon (I'm working on it, but it's slow going), I think I'm just going to have to live with it. These two DVF dresses, the blue leaf print in 1-3 and the chain print in 4-6, were on sale so I got a good price on them. What do you think of them? The black and white one is very similar to the Maggy London that I already have so I would only keep it if it's better than the one I have. I like the patterns, and the color of the blue dress. I don't love the side views, but I don't think I can do much better at this point given the realities of my post-three babies body. Which DVF dress do you like better, or should I give up on my dream of a classic DVF wrap and return both?<br /> ETA: the chain print does come in a smaller print if you think the print is too large. </p>
