And this thing is so big, on the same scale even if there was a zero I don't think it would work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392084 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 03:09:50 +0000 catgirl 1392084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh! Frustrating. Love the blue in theory - size down? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392047 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 02:12:52 +0000 Beth Ann 1392047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been struggling to find enough length in knit dresses, too.&nbsp; I have one dress that I tracked down in a tall -- even though I'm only 5"6."&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392042 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 02:06:03 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1392042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colors of both are perfect. And the light blue St John really is a nice fabric. Donna, the Bela dress is the short one (I don't know that brand.) </p> <p>Dresses are always tough. I probably try on 25 for each one that I keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392019 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:43:27 +0000 Suz 1392019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is a gorgeous colour on you, but ...yeah. Not <b>quite</b> the right size. ;)&nbsp;</p> <p>As for the length of the second, the less said about these crazy manufacturers, the better. Grrrrrr.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392017 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:42:34 +0000 DonnaF 1392017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't think St. John would run so short.&nbsp; But maybe that's how the rest of their normal customers feel, so that's why that dress is on sale.&nbsp; It looks like it would be a great long-sleeved dress on a very height challenged person!&nbsp; And it looks like the blue dress is actually a 4 on their size scale of 1 to 5? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392015 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:39:46 +0000 Sveta 1392015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the first one has a potential if you size down- &nbsp;this one is clearly too big.<br />I won't even comment on the length issue....:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1392014 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:38:43 +0000 Meredith 1392014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer these beauties didn't work out. I can't believe the sizing on the St. John dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1391999 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 01:15:59 +0000 Anonymous 1391999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny about the hospital dress - I agree &nbsp;I love the other one though, and if it weren't so short.....</p> <p>Why oh why are retailers having their mfr's make such short dresses STILL? &nbsp;Makes me nuts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/r-dresses-because-size#post-1391984 Fri, 07 Nov 2014 00:41:33 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1391984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I was thinking I'd like a warm fall dress to wear with boots. I found these two on good sales at NM. But sizing is soooo weird.</p> <p>I have never tried anything St John before because of the price, and I don't know if their sizing is always like this, but I look like an escaped hospital patient. This dress is 4. I usually wear 4 or 6 in dresses.</p> <p>And this other dress is a size 2 on a scale of 1 to 5. I have never encountered this size system before. I chatted with customer service and they said 2 meant small. It is a gorgeous soft greenish blue. I figured if the description said above the knee on the model, it would be about knee length on me. Too short for my test but I hope someone else likes it. </p>
