Probably best to wait for something that fits. I've been slow to learn Angie's PPP principle when shopping, but she's right. Don't settle for less than perfect, especially when it comes to fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-this-dress-stretch-enough#post-968544 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 23:15:52 +0000 Echo 968544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, a dress of that construction can stretch enough only if it is already almost&nbsp;perfect. I don't think it can accommodate if it is pulling at the stitching. I would either take my chances on ordering the larger size or return this one and wait for another dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-this-dress-stretch-enough#post-968514 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 22:11:26 +0000 Lyn D. 968514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a shame!<br />I really would R this one and wait for the next great dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-this-dress-stretch-enough#post-968513 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 22:11:22 +0000 MNsara 968513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress, and you're young enough to wear it rather fitted!&nbsp; I bet it's adorable on you :-)</p> <p>But pulling the stitiching sounds worrisome!&nbsp; and around the hips. . . have you out it through some sitting to see what happens:&nbsp; lots of wrinkling? more stitich pulling?</p> <p>But my experience with 3% spandex (is that the same as&nbsp;ELASTANO ) is that it stretches with wearing.&nbsp; Sometimes it doesn't stretch back too well until laundered, sometimes it holds its shape well.</p> <p>I notice on the size chart, that each size up is for 4cm larger.&nbsp; If you think that would throw off the cute fit, stick with this one.&nbsp; Otherwise you could consider it . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-this-dress-stretch-enough#post-968508 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 22:06:49 +0000 Anonymous 968508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my experience, it won't stretch enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-this-dress-stretch-enough#post-968501 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 22:04:44 +0000 Irene 968501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this dress but it's a tad too snug, especially around the bust and hips. I can zip up just fine, although I have noticed some opening in-between the stitches surrounding the beginning of the zip, and I might have caused it (nothing I can't fix though)</p> <p>There are no bigger sizes available in stores, and I don't buy online. I considered it as an option this time around, but knowing myself and how hard it is to fit a dress on me, I just don't dare pay the extra transportation expenses (4€ more).</p> <p>It's a cute summer dress, and I really like the shape and how it differs from what I already have both in style and color. But if it's not meant to be mine, well, what can I do. It's 97% cotton (woven, pretty thick). How much do you think that could stretch?</p> <p><a href="http://www.blanco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product2_10151_12551_866515_-5_232026_67017_67017__NONE__image_24__TRUE___B" rel="nofollow">http://www.blanco.com/webapp/w.....7_67017__N</a></p>
