I hope you can get it (at the same price)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1531447 Sat, 01 Aug 2015 17:38:38 +0000 CocoLion 1531447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like a great dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1531027 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 22:02:47 +0000 MsMaven 1531027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress arrived and I love it. I am probably living in a fantasy right now.</p> <p>I wish they had the larger size in a store nearby. I will probably have to exchange if I decide to keep it. I hope Nordstrom will exchange at same price after the sale is over.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried on a similar rushed dress in Nordstrom last week, but it had sleeves and sparkles and only came to mid-thigh. I didn't realize it until I saw this.</p> <p>It is flattering on top, well cut and shows a lot of skin, but not cleavage. Extremely body-con below, makes me look like Humpty Dumpty from the side--flat butt, big stomach, no waist and skinny legs. Very tight at crotch level.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'll wait to post photos until I find my DKNY girdle--er--body shaper. I may have tossed it because I haven't worn it for years. I should get another anyway. Also, I'll wait until my other black dresses arrive early next week.</p> <p>The dress does ride up from below when I walk. Maybe a larger size would not?</p> <p>Here's the dress on a hangar and my cat Jett says keep the dress--she's keeping the box. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530915 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 20:01:53 +0000 MsMaven 1530915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your feedback. I hope it isn't too body con--there was only one review and that said it was flattering even though she had a tummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530898 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 19:39:48 +0000 Staysfit 1530898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tried other similar jP Gaultier dresses and they fit me well. I only returned due to the color or feeling the style was not quite right for the occasion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530861 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 18:07:09 +0000 CocoLion 1530861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never tried this dress. &nbsp;But, I have a JP Gaultier skirt which I love. I sized up to a Medium and it fits well. &nbsp;However, it is super body con even in a Medium so I wear compression bike shorts underneath and a loose top. &nbsp;The nylon fabric shows even the smallest imperfections. &nbsp;So I don't wear this a lot but when I do, I enjoy wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530843 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 17:30:48 +0000 Lisa 1530843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bumping for others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530345 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 21:42:14 +0000 Glory 1530345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't any experience but it is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530286 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 20:09:06 +0000 Parsley 1530286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't tried that particular one, but my experience with other JP Gaultier items is that they run small and very body-con. I suspect that you'd be happier with the Large, but you might not even love the clingy fit of that. Gorgeous dress, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-anyone-try-this-gautier-dress#post-1530272 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 19:50:41 +0000 MsMaven 1530272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I added an update below.&nbsp;</p> <p>In my search for the right black dress for two upcoming weddings I keep getting drawn to the Gautier section. There was nothing much in the store yesterday, but I did order this dress online.</p> <p>I should have asked for advice first. Supposedly it runs small, but my True Fit size was a 10, so I ordered it in medium, but still wonder if I shouldn't have tried large. I've never tried on this designer before and I don't normally go for tank dresses, but this one caught my attention. It looks more and more like I'll have to find a two piece outfit or else a bare dress with a topper.</p> <p>Just wondering. I did try the Boss dress but sent it back. It was too big and wasn't dressy enough. I liked it though.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also ordered two dresses from NM Last Call. I'll show those when they get here. No rush--got until September.</p>
