For DVF fans -- 30% off sale

Antje

DVF has a Facebook page (just search for DVF on Facebook) on which they advertise a 30% off sale for fall ready-to-wear and accessories for the next 5 days. Quite some savings; might be interesting for those who've been tempted...

I'm there. I've been waiting all day for the coupon to work-- they've been having trouble with the site.

Okay, now I'm also considering getting a dress as well, but I'm not sure which one I should try.
I like this one

but I'm concerned the neckline is a bad idea for my shoulders. I also like

Which do you think is my best bet?

I LOVE the Lily dress in Bowles (the third one). I think it would be ultra flattering on you. You could also get a ton of wear out of it because you could wear it year round with a cardigan in the cooler months, and as is in the warmer times. My second choice is the Shiloh wrap dress. I think it would be really nice on you as well. I think you could pull off the boatneck top dress, but it probably would make your shoulders look even broader (boatnecks to do that to me, always).

I can hardly wait to see what you choose, and how it looks on you!

I vote for the Lily as well Patience. That is a stunning dress and I think it will look amazing on you.
The Soffer is very beautiful too, and I'm curious to see how it would look on you. Unlike many people, I actually like boat neck collars on someone with a strong shoulder line.

Pity this one isn't on sale, I've had my eye on it for ages (it's one of their classics, just a simple black dress):

Question (I'm exploring my options here;-): do you think you could pair an elegant 'dressy' dress like this with the red Dr. Martens boots (knee-high) or would that be pushing it;-)

Inge, I think that would be a completely awesome combination.

Thanks for the opinion as well. I'm leaning toward the Lily now but maybe I will try the soffer. I've worn boat necks in the past but not very often and not in a while so I'm not sure. Maybe I will try both. The Soffer will probably leave no room for bulges either. Anyway, I'm going to think about it through the weekend.

Inge, I'm with you on having my eye on a DVF for a while! I want the Julian in black, but the full price is just not in the budget. If IT was 30% off...

From what I understand, the Facebook sale is 30% off everything (from the fall ready to wear line), so it's not limited to items that are marked with a sales price on the DVF site. Try it - the promotional code to enter is FACEBOOKSALE. Good luck!

Aha, I hadn't realised that Antje. Sigh, I'm very tempted to go for that dress!

Ellen: are you going to order the Julian then?-) That's a marvellous one as well!

Patience: I'm eagerly awaiting the first pictures too;-)

Update: I have just tried entering the promotional code, but it doesn't seem to be working for the Jeanne Wrap dress-(

When I was having trouble with the coupon I emailed customer service and they said:

However, please note that 30% off can only be applied to Fall items. Cruise/Pre-Spring items, as well as our black and brown Jeanne and Justin dresses, are unfortunately not eligible for discounted prices.

The vest I ordered was not on sale but the coupon worked.

Thanks for the info Patience, I'm glad to hear you got the discount. That vest is beautiful!

Pity about the Jeanne dress, I'll be admiring it from afar for a while longer then;-)

Inge, I am so tempted. We are buying a house in three weeks, so I know I should wait, but man...

Do you think the chocolate brown would be as versatile as the black? I'm blonde and wear a lot of black, but I'm torn because maybe the brown would be softer? And I'm wondering if I can wear this brown with black anyway... I usually like brown/black combos.

The code didn't work on the Julian either.

Sorry to hear that Ellen. And yes, I know what you mean, oh yes. It's so tempting to finally get that dress, but seeing that it's not on sale, I really shouldn't.

I think that brown can easily be as versatile (and dressy and elegant) as black yes, and I'm still undecided on that matter as well (well, the Jeanne only comes in black, but I was thinking that maybe the Julian would be better for me since I have very pale skin and black is a bit harsh against my face).
I'm not an expert on the brown/black combo, but if you decide to buy the dress, just try it on with black boots or something and see what you think (and post pictures of course;-)

Congratulations on the house by the way, that's so exciting!!

Thank you! We are so excited to be in the new place. And I will have so many decorating opportunities!

I have been thinking that when I do eventually get the dress, I might get brown. I've been more of a fan of brown and black lately and I think it can be a very classic yet interesting combo. I have to experiment some more of course... and I will be going against every "fashion basics" advice, which always says to have a black wrap dress! I do want this to last me for ages...

Aah, decorating a new place is so much fun (much work too, but the good kind;-)

Good thinking Ellen, I look forward to seeing you in that gorgeous brown DVF.
And if it helps: I don't own a black dress (wrap or another type) either...
