I think the way the ruffles are positioned on the side it can be work appropriate or fun.</p> <p>Isn't it&nbsp;interesting how sizes have changed over the years? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298957 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 20:51:16 +0000 lyn* 1298957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, my parents always complain about the clothes I left at their place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298885 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 19:43:51 +0000 catgirl 1298885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vintage 10s are more like a 4 or 6 today for sure.&nbsp; I remember wearing a size 10 in high school and probably couldn't fit into those same clothes today (and some of them are still at my parents' place, eek!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298880 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 19:42:02 +0000 Sara L. 1298880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress fits great on you.&nbsp; I think the pumps, belt, and handbag all look great with this dress and make it look&nbsp;work appropriate despite the ruffles.&nbsp; </p> <p>I had a similar experience recently at a thrift store.&nbsp; The tag on the dress said 10P but it looked like it would fit so I tried it on and it fit great.&nbsp; I'm 5'6" so too tall for Petites and usually wear a size 4-6.&nbsp; I had originally picked it out for my sister who does wear Petites but she refused to try it on due to the 10 (she normally wears a 6-8). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298860 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 19:17:54 +0000 Joana 1298860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cute feminine dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298849 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 19:10:23 +0000 Anonymous 1298849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298840 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 19:02:27 +0000 Mo 1298840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, not much of a royal watcher over here, as you could guess. &nbsp;I, for one, have nothing against ruffles. &nbsp;I even have pink (gasp!) ruffles in my closet. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298812 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 18:43:58 +0000 lyn* 1298812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. Kate's mom :)</p> <p>Also. Yes. They are ruffles. Hopefully ruffles done ok! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298806 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 18:36:08 +0000 Mo 1298806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who is Carol Middleton?? &nbsp;But yes, a number is just a number. &nbsp;Glad the dress fits without having to fiddle with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298803 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 18:33:31 +0000 Gracie 1298803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a fantastic fit on the dress, yey for you!&nbsp; I really like the angled drapey waves detail (ok I don't want to call them ruffles because I like them and sometimes they don't get much love here). Your bag is perfect for it and I like the way you accessorized with kind of same tone on pumps and earrings, very nicely put together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-709---size-is-just-a-number#post-1298799 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 18:27:53 +0000 lyn* 1298799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially when it comes to second hand shopping! I haven't worn this for a really long time and I remember buying it to modify. </p> <p>In this brand I am usually a 2 or a 4, but I thought the pattern was cute so I purchased it for a song. The consignment store woman said no one could fit this dress. </p> <p>No wonder! Tried it on recently (No Buy July you know!) and it fits! </p> <p>Guess what it's labelled as? A 10. There is no way someone sized 10 would fit this dress. Uh uh. It's not even that stretchy. </p> <p>Yay!! Less work for me! I think Carol Middleton wore a similar pattern recently. Ugh. She's younger than MY mom though! </p> <ul> <li><i>Earrings, Pumps: Le Chateau</i></li> <li><i>Dress: Eva Franco</i></li> <li><i>Belt: Joe Fresh</i></li> <li><i>Purse: Kate Spade</i></li> </ul>
