It's sold out in the size I need.</p> <p>-----</p> <p>To update, I called, and two sales associates tried to help me track down another one. Very kind of them, especially since I ordered online. The dress in my size showed up in an Oregon store but was already gone by the time I got through. Then it was suggested I just ship back both dresses and order a different one over the phone. I called back and talked to alterations people. The plan now is to bring in both dresses and just see what they think. So, I have dental surgery on Thursday and will be in the area. I will go to the store after my surgery. Lol! I shall be a sight. The store is almost two hours away and I do not have time to go up there twice in the same week. Any ways, we shall see. Not quite ready to concede defeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress/page/2#post-1707166 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:21:41 +0000 Suz 1707166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it sold out again in the smaller size? Maybe you can call Customer Service and explain the issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1707150 Tue, 02 Aug 2016 20:01:30 +0000 columbine(erin) 1707150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack and alas, Angie the smaller one arrived damaged.

I've ordered the next size down. And thanks for the kindness about my kids, too. Our doc just says to keep doing what we're doing. Tremendously relieved that the high fevers seem to be over at least. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704388 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 16:32:42 +0000 Angie 1704388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY pretty on you. Try a size down too. It has great potential. And good luck with the sick kiddos. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704381 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 16:21:46 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Isabel, I like the idea of having a dressy dress ready to go; I have a large family and am looking forward to lots more weddings. I need a new dress in the mix, especially since several favorites are too big now and look bad. </p> <p>This dress came back into stock in the next size down so I quickly ordered it to try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704292 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 14:15:37 +0000 Anonymous 1704292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like the extra ease in the upper body, and really, there's not much, it looks great, I don't think taking some in on the sides would be so difficult or expensive.&nbsp;<br />The fit points of the dress, waistline, underarms etc., look good to me too and they might be higher in the 4 so I'd try to adjust the 6.<br />It's a very pretty dress and it looks great on you, I would love to have something that dressy ready in my closet and I wouldn't give up on it easily if I did! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704270 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:45:49 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks JAileen. Bodycon is definitely not my thing. I need a little ease so I can hold my baby and not be strangled lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704264 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:39:26 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Viva, for telling me about your experience. I'm confirmed in my idea of keeping it for now and looking into tailoring, if I can't find the other size. It has three layers, so I'm not sure how difficult that would be to alter, but it altering it to fit my waist and hips would take it from being a good dress to a great one, maybe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704260 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 13:35:43 +0000 JAileen 1704260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit. If you can, get the smaller size just to see which you like better. But I probably wouldn't alter this one. We so used to seeing women wearing skin tight clothes that it's very refreshing to see someone wearing something with some ease in it. Plus I bet it's more comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704214 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 11:32:09 +0000 viva 1704214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is reminding me of a very similar dress I had a few years ago! I consigned it and regret doing so.</p> <p>It was a 6 also, and I think in that case a 4 would have been better -- but I wore the 6 for a number of years, and I wore it everywhere. It was so versatile and was the go-to dress for all sorts of events. It had a lot of ease, like yours, but it worked well with the ease. (So, even if tailoring is not an option I think this size will do.) But I always thought a 4 would have been even better, and that might be the case here too. (So, look into tailoring / keep an eye out for a 4.)</p> <p>I would definitely not let this dress go, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704116 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 03:53:17 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Muffin. I think I may do that. I'm sure we have tailors nearby but I wouldn't have any idea how good they are. If I keep the dress, going to Nordstrom's to get it altered seems the safest idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704095 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 03:10:15 +0000 Muffin 1704095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure how alterations would go as far as not being a cardholder- perhaps just a flat fee. I have had excellent alterations done at Nordstrom and I think something like bringing in the waist would be easy for them. It may be worth your time to go in and have the seamstress look--and the very best ones will tell you if it's something you shouldn't do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704029 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:59:40 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Windchime, that is good to know. Although, I am not a cardholder, so I'm not sure how alterations would work. </p> <p>Thanks Tammyb. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704028 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:55:24 +0000 Tammyb 1704028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty on you! (Sorry to hear about the kids.... A rite of passage it seems) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704017 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:46:48 +0000 Windchime 1704017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it looks stunning on you! I was so busy admiring you in this dress that I truly didn't notice any weeds. Hopefully some of our talented seamstresses will weigh in on the tailoring question. I can tell you that I tried an NAS coat last week, The sleeves were just a bit short, and the SA told me the alteration to lengthen the sleeves would be complementary during NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704008 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:33:10 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the kind comments about my kids. They are mending, slowly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704006 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:32:28 +0000 columbine(erin) 1704006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate your input, ladies, thank you. I will keep watching for the size 4 to try, seems to be out of stock still. </p> <p>If I can't find that next size down, does anyone think this would be a good candidate for tailoring? I have so far never had any thing tailored before. I like how the bust and sleeves fit but this dress does feel just a bit roomy through the waist and hips. I also would not want it any shorter which might be an issue with a smaller size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1704005 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 01:30:09 +0000 Colette 1704005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Suz said. Hope the kids are better soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1703985 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:55:44 +0000 carambola 1703985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Suz. It's lovely, but I wonder if a size down might be even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1703974 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:46:45 +0000 Suz 1703974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In short, I am YAY but also try a different size if you can.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1703973 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:46:12 +0000 Suz 1703973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is stunning on you. What a great dress to have in your closet. I'm not sure if a size down might be better. Is it still available in that size? If so , I might try it to compare. You want the perfect version of this perfect dress for you.&nbsp;</p> <p>So sorry to hear about your kids. Parenting is not for the fainthearted.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1703948 Thu, 28 Jul 2016 00:01:52 +0000 Muffin 1703948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doesn't sound like there are any cons! Seems very versitle for your needs. It would be interesting to see a size down to see a bit more fit through the waist but then you might loose the ease you feel elsewhere.</p> <p>Hope the kids are feeling better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-eliza-j-dress#post-1703944 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 23:58:03 +0000 Debbie 1703944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning!!
