I would keep this size and not consider sizing up as it would be too large. I think it would be worth getting the shoulders tailored. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress/page/2#post-910327 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 17:15:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 910327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ WOW Diana! This is gorgeous on you. The color and style are just perfect for you and the occasion. I think once you get the straps altered, it will be SMASHING!<br /><br />I also really like those sandals. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress/page/2#post-910296 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:43:06 +0000 goldenpig 910296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love how it looks in #4! Knockout with the straps shortened!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress/page/2#post-910275 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:30:41 +0000 Diana 910275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, guys.&nbsp; I think this is the dress, although I'm keeping an eye out for a petite.&nbsp; It keeps popping back in different regular sizes lately so it's not out of the question that a petite will appear.&nbsp; <br /><br />So I think I am set for dresses for the two events immediately around the wedding, although there is still another reception in June (for Boston people that were not invited to the wedding) that will need a dress as well (another cocktail dress, not black) but I still have a little time for that. <br /><br />I do have a question about what bag to carry w/ this but I will start another thread for that!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress/page/2#post-910167 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 14:46:55 +0000 modgrl 910167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the dress and the shoes!! Get the straps tailored and it will be perfect. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909959 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 07:47:12 +0000 Astrid 909959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this dress, you look so pretty! I think the slight alteration would totally make it work, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they find a petite size for you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909917 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 04:29:24 +0000 Beth Ann 909917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely choice!&nbsp; Yes, there's a slight issue, but both the possible fixes would likely work.&nbsp; Love this for the rehearsal dinner --- the shoes, too!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909898 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 03:33:49 +0000 Diana 909898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rae, I think the waistband is fine tightness-wise, but it is slightly too long (again, a petite would be better) so it's scrunching up slightly.&nbsp; Haha, I think it is supposed to be an empire waist but on me it comes down to my natural waist.&nbsp; <br /><br />Added a couple of photos up top with the dress clipped up at the shoulders; I think this fixes the saggy bust problem to a large extent.&nbsp; I would still like to try a petite if I can track it down but altering the shoulders will work well enough too.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909875 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 03:06:27 +0000 Deborah 909875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana, it is just beautiful.&nbsp; Is it worth an alteration at the shoulder?&nbsp; Other than the issue you point out it really is an incredibly flattering and gorgeous dress on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909869 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:57:41 +0000 JenA 909869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love this dress and color on you! LOVE!&nbsp;<br /><br />It looks much better when you pulled up the sleeves.&nbsp;<br /><br />Good luck! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909856 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:48:31 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 909856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's a great dress on you, Diana! I also don't think sizing down will work, but taking the bodice up in the shoulder seams should be easy. I'd also try to find the dress in a size up and in a petite, just to compare the fit. This is definitely your color!<br /><br />I hope the sandals work out, because they look fab in these photos.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909855 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:47:03 +0000 rae 909855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the style of this and hope you can make it work. Is the waist comfy? I can't tell if it looks tight or if it is just the poofy bust that is tricking my eyes. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909852 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:44:33 +0000 Suz 909852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would definitely call and ask about the petite and tell them the reason you are looking. It might make them a bit more assiduous in their searching. I have a feeling the petite would just feel better overall, you know? And it's worth it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909848 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:42:37 +0000 Anonymous 909848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stunning, beautiful, romantic. . . perfect for a rehearsal dinner!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909845 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:37:55 +0000 Diana 909845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Joy, it's not from Nordies'.&nbsp; I had to buy it from Neiman Marcus because Nordies' is sold out in my size.&nbsp; (Also, it is very difficult for me to get to B&amp;M Nordies so getting them to do alterations is actually not very practical...)<br /><br />ETA: Donna, that's a good idea.&nbsp; As I mentioned, it's hard for me to get to the actual store, but I could definitely call and ask about the petite.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909843 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:37:11 +0000 DonnaF 909843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have you gone to a Nordies B'n'M and had them use their computer to search other stores?&nbsp; Sometimes when something is out online, a store will still have the item.&nbsp; Be sure to take the Petite size item number since it will be different than the regular size item number.&nbsp; It is such a gorgeous dress on you.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909836 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:31:40 +0000 Anonymous 909836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress will be stunning on you with alterations and seamless nude underwear. If it's from Nordstrom's won't they do the alterations for you?<br /> The gold sandals are beautiful too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909829 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:23:57 +0000 sarah 909829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Diana, fingers crossed that you can have the bodice altered. It's otherwise lovely. And I really like the shoes! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909826 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:22:41 +0000 Tanya 909826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you can get it altered at the shoulders, than it is a stunner. &nbsp;The color is gorgeous on you and I love the sandals too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909821 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:20:50 +0000 Diana 909821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Suz, the only place I could find that carries this dress in petites is Nordies'.&nbsp; Even the Maggy Boutique website itself does not seem to have it.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909805 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:11:27 +0000 Suz 909805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is is available anywhere besides Nordie's in petite? Might be worth doing a search for that.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909789 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:06:17 +0000 Janet 909789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I've been waiting for this! I think the shoulder alteration should do the trick. I love the style and color on you! The shoes look fab too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909788 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:05:59 +0000 Sveta 909788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You don't need to size down, it would be too tight in the tummy area. Altering the bodice should be a pretty simple alteration. There are not many high - low dresses which pass my filter but this one does. It is going to be stunning on you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909784 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:04:14 +0000 Anonymous 909784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if the shoulder alteration works, this is it! It looks gorgeous on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909782 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:01:02 +0000 MsMary 909782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it's beautiful!&nbsp; Take up the shoulders and it will be a knockout!&nbsp; The color is fab for you!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909769 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:47:31 +0000 Diana 909769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmm, if it's just taking the shoulders up, I can do it myself.&nbsp; I'll try pinning it to see.&nbsp; I don't have a tailor I trust aside from my mom, but I won't see her until 2 days before the event.&nbsp; (I have trust/control issues with tailors, LOL).&nbsp; I might hold off for a week or two, though, to see if the petite pops back at Nordies.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909757 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:39:48 +0000 Day Vies 909757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look heavenly. The color is absolutely divine on you -- goddess indeed. I love the gold shoes too How I wish I could wear a dress like that -- too much scaffolding required to get it to look nice. <br /><br />I don't think sizing up will help. It looks like the dress is snug because the bust, waist, &amp; hips are in the wrong place-- too low (you do need a petite). Can you have the shoulders taken up -- that would get rid of the extra fabric too. Is it worth it to have it tailored? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909748 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:33:06 +0000 Angie 909748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you can shorten the straps to alter the bodice fit, this entire outfit is going TO LAUNCH ME INTO ORBIT BIG TIME!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909747 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:32:42 +0000 Suz 909747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh wow - this is so beautiful!! I hope there is some way of adjusting the fit or getting one that does fit. Because that is a deal-breaker at the moment. But if it can be made to fit properly....actually, maybe order the larger size would be the solution because you could get it tailored just perfectly for you. That would add to the price, of course.&nbsp;<br /><br />I know you are not asking yet, but I <b>LOVE</b> the sandals!!!!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-high-low-coral-chiffon-dress#post-909704 Wed, 17 Apr 2013 01:11:54 +0000 Thistle 909704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! This is how the dress was meant to look! However, I see what you mean about fit issues. Hmmm, do you have a super awesome tailor you could show it to? See if the alteration is even possible? </p>
