You're right, Elle has this dress. I guess I remembered you trying it on and forgot that you returned it. I hope the new DVF you ordered works out. Post pictures! :)</p> <p>Angie, the fashion tape I buy holds really well (I use it on the gape in button down shirts from time to time and on fallen hems in an emergency). But I wonder if I put a couple of darts in the back of the dress if that would take care of the extra waist fabric on the size 10? That way I wouldn't have to worry about it.</p> <p>I see&nbsp;I'm going to have to try them both on again and maybe walk around the house for a bit, maybe do some vacuuming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990174 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:59:03 +0000 JennyAnne 990174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress looks like it was made for you.&nbsp; I thought the 8 looked great, but the 10 also looks wonderful.&nbsp; I'd go with 10 for ease of wear - no tape and more coverage in the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990163 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:55:06 +0000 Vix 990163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, sounds like you've road-tested it nicely, then, so final call is yours. Can't go too wrong either way from what I'm seeing.</p> <p>I actually don't have the dress.&nbsp;I bought/tried the NAS python print in several sizes&nbsp;and ...blergh. RETURN. This print didn't call to me 100% so I didn't try it on.</p> <p>However, you and Elle look so great&nbsp;in this that&nbsp;I ordered a sale DVF in more of an all-over print like yours.&nbsp;I've been stalking it for a while, but it only had 1 size left so who knows if it will work. May do a K/R when it arrives but the bar is high given how good yours looks on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990157 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:52:01 +0000 Angie 990157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on Team Hubs. I like the 10 from the front and the 8 from the back. </p> <p>That said, if you are SURE that fashion tape will be the solution for size 8 in front, I'll vote for size 8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990152 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:47:34 +0000 ManidipaM 990152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Had the same thought as Diana. Will be watching this... gonna be a close call! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990137 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 14:36:19 +0000 Ana 990137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the further opinions! It seems to be split down the middle for 8 or 10. DH came home and said he likes the 10 from the front but the 8 from the back, lol.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vix, thanks for weighing in since I know you have this dress too. I've tried on the dresses and sat and kind of "shimmied" and bounced around to check for slipping. For more conservative occasions, I would definitely wear a slip, but just normal daily wear it would be too hot to wear one, except in the late fall and winter. I can tie the 10 very tightly and the dress is secure without creating any bulges with the belt. I can do the same thing with the 8 but then it cuts into my waist and kind of bulges out around the back. Maybe more extensive tests are in order. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990073 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:49:26 +0000 Vix 990073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Ana --</p> <p>Wow, this looks gorgeous on you in both sizes!&nbsp;</p> <p>I honestly had to flip back and forth a lot between the sizes, and in the end I'm voting for the 8 for all the reasons 50% of the commenters did. ;)</p> <p>Have you checked what happens in both sizes up top when you bend, sit, etc? </p> <p>IME even faux wraps gape open a bit when the body is more relaxed, and when they're looser they seem to be worse gapers!&nbsp;I admit I'll be impressed if you can get away without a camisole or fashion tape in either size. [On my rare wrap dress occasion I wear a slip because I'm apparently required&nbsp;to encounter lots of wind....] </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-990051 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 13:35:33 +0000 nancylee 990051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! &nbsp;I'd go with the 10 to avoid the bother of fashion tape (who needs that hassle?). &nbsp;DVF runs really small in my experience. &nbsp;I always have to size up.</p> <p>Glad you're keeping it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-989984 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 11:28:31 +0000 Lisa 989984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous piece!&nbsp; I vote 10.&nbsp; It looks like the larger size pulls less.&nbsp; This fits you like a dream! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-989820 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:37:27 +0000 Deborah 989820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look just stunning in this dresss:)&nbsp; I would be inclined to keep th 10 as I think it's going to be a more comfortable fit in terms of the cross over and not wearing a cami.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-989649 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 00:03:31 +0000 Parsley 989649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are gorgeous on you, but I like the 8 better. The 10 just looks a little loose to me, and the 8 looks made just for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size/page/2#post-989630 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:53:36 +0000 rae 989630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can hardly tell the difference - go with the 10 and save some pennies on tape. Awesome dress on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989618 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:42:28 +0000 Ana 989618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pil, we posted at the same time! Thank you so much for the compliment about my hair! I'm growing it out a little bit&nbsp;and it's in that awkward stage. Good to know it still looks good, not too crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989614 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:37:28 +0000 Ana 989614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you <b>so much</b> everyone! I really appreciate the feedback and I'm really excited you all think the dress looks okay on me in general. This is so helpful.&nbsp;It seems like there's a mix of opinion on the board too.&nbsp;Lyn* thank you so much for the sweet compliment! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm kind of like Diana, I think I like the 10 better from the front, but the 8 better from the back, lol. I also maybe like the way the 8 fits around the arms better&nbsp;(a bit tighter).&nbsp;I tried them both on again, and when I tie the 8 really tightly around my waist, it stays in place on its own when I move around a lot, but it's not very comfortable. The 10 is definitely overall more comfortable, so I think I might go with that one. Maybe I can take it to the tailor and have them put a couple of darts in the back to take out some of the extra fabric in the waist.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, I'm still open to opinions. I have a couple of other returns to make to Nordstrom but I wasn't planning to go until tomorrow afternoon or Friday.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you again everyone!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989608 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:35:24 +0000 pil 989608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, this is absolutely gorgeous on you - and how cute is your hair?? Count me among those who can't decide. The only hesitation I have about the 10 is the little bit of excess fabric in the back - but to me that doesn't make it scream "I don't fit". I don't think you can go wrong with either, so I'd probably go with comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989586 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:14:26 +0000 cciele 989586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow you are rocking that dress! I'd go with the size you feel most comfortable in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989578 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:06:59 +0000 lyn* 989578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the 10 may be better, but which feels better when you move around and walk about?&nbsp;</p> <p>PS: You are so pretty! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989574 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:04:07 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 989574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't quite tell the difference, except in the side-view, and in the side-view, I like the 8 just a smidge better. </p> <p>Oh, I just looked at the extra fabric at the waist in rear-view.&nbsp; Yes, liking the 8 better.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; But both sizes look great on you, so I say go with the one that makes you happiest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989539 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:24:24 +0000 rachylou 989539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad I waited to pass judgement. You look fantastic in this dress!</p> <p>The 8 and 10 are really close, boy. But I can see the difference in neckline, so I'll say 10 too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989514 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:36:26 +0000 MsMaven 989514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in both dresses, but I vote with those that prefer the 10. &nbsp;It &nbsp; is a close call, but the 10 makes you look a little more relaxed and at ease. &nbsp;Also the extra length is more flattering. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989502 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:13:48 +0000 Janet 989502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the 8 -- the 10 has some extra room in the back and the fit in the front looks similar enough between the two. (Besides, I can't help but think that if I needed an 8, surely you don't need larger than that because you look slimmer than me!)</p> <p>I recommend having a small stitch put in the neckline where you want the wrap to overlap. I had that done with mine and now I don't even need to wear a cami with it. It holds the neckline in the right spot, and I can still easily slip the dress over my head. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989494 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:04:24 +0000 Gaylene 989494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both fit, but, to my eye, the extra ease in the 10 looks more elegant, especially in the back. On the other hand, the 8 fits more closely so it has a bit more of a ladylike bombshell vibe. I think it comes down to what image best fits your style preference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989492 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 21:03:32 +0000 Inge 989492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, it is just gorgeous!! I think the blush makes it even more special, and it looks very flattering on you. I prefer the 10, and absolutely agree that it is perfect as is (with collar and long sleeves:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989484 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:55:34 +0000 unfrumped 989484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm totally waffling, and do the same thing between sizes myself.<br />I just wanted to say you look fantastic in this dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989480 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:52:28 +0000 amiable 989480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the 10. &nbsp;You look amazing in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989471 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:44:16 +0000 deb 989471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 10 best from the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-dvf-dress-kr-which-size#post-989469 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 20:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 989469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a classy dress.
