It looks lovely on you Sveta and fits perfectly on top, so sizing up wouldn't be a wise option. By now, I imagine you have done a little tango or whatever to test its practicality. If it passes the dance test, it is a keeper for you. Admittedly the pattern is quite bold, but it is nice to have a change and something quite different in our closets, and since you are tall, you can carry the large pattern well. Now to sort out the right bra.....
Wow! No wonder felt so happy when I put that dress on last night! Such a united approval - thank you! Carter - LOL about no bottom on the mannequin, you may be right. There is nothing snug about this dress. The bottom part skimming my hips nicely without being too loose or too snug. The upper part is a wee bit on the big side but if I sew the end of the V together it should be fine. I did not feel it is not big enough until I looked at the online picture and compared it to my picture - but Carter may be up to something here I did not do a little tango (this is by far the most difficult dance for me and I am giving up on it for now) but I did a bit of rhumba (could not resist) and it moves very nicely. I think it is going to be perfect for the our Spring Gala, right? Thank you all again so-so much. Now if anybody wants to help in the hunt for the perfect bra for this neckline in 34C which is available in Canada I would be all ears!
OMG Sveta I saw the pic at work and didn't have time to respond. Even though there are dozens of responses and I suspect all say versions of the same thing, I felt compelled to add to the chorus.
Amazing, outstanding, and utterly gorgeous!!! KEEP, please.
The dress looks fantastic on you. I'm glad you decided to keep it. Have you tried bra clips - something like these: http://www.amazon.com/piece-Ad.....&qid=? They work with your existing bras and you can move them up and down to shift the straps where you need them. I wear them a lot in the summer with racer back tanks and I bought mine at Target.
Thank you ladies. Your enthusiastic approval is very appreciated! jenanded - not yet, I did not have time to get into the store yet. After my vacation! Sara - great idea! I think I have a package of those somewhere around the house )my Mom got it for me but I never used it). Thanks for the tip!
we've been away and yours was the first post I clicked on - so I am late to the party, but WOW, I just have to say, that dress is amazing on you. So glad you're keeping it. Here's to a lot of fun nights dancing in it.
Another yes vote! The bigger size may have more folds in the front but it's no guarantee. Then you will have to make alterations to the upper part, so new problems are created. No it doesn't look the same on you as the in-human mannequin it actually looks better!
