Presley Skye Butterfly Print Silk Crêpe de Chine Dress Take #1

I have to say that this was a no for me. (I'm actually a little embarrassed to post this picture!) This is the dress that Angie recommended. I went against my instincts and ordered a size up from my normal size. I honestly have no idea why I did that! Anyway ... as it stands, this dress is a no for me. It looks frumpy and not flattering at all on me. I'm going to give it one more try and order a smaller size, but I'm think that this style is not going to work for me. We'll have to see

N--- I think this dress has potential for you! This size is too big, but I can't wait to see it smaller!

Nakidra - I think that in the right size this dress is going to be GORGEOUS on you! I actually love the style and the drape - and you have the height to pull it off. I'm on Team Midi, though, but honestly. I see GREAT potential here. PLEASE post the new size!

I love your smile.

Okay. What are you smoking, Nakidra???

Size down, add an edge, and the result will be KILLER.

Whether *you* like it will be a different story, but that doesn't mean you look bad in the dress. In fact you look amazing in the dress

Are you sure we're looking at the same picture? Because I think you look gorgeous in this. Post the smaller size for comparison.

Goodness, Nakidra, I would love to see you model this in the correct size. I've been considering this very dress myself...and you make it look wonderful and very tempting.

I saw this in the store the other night after my bra refitting/restocking bonanza, and I thought it was lovely but didnt try it on since its probably too dressy for my life, but I was hoping someone here would jump on it!

I think this has great promise! Size down and let's see it again. You are a beauty!

You could totally rock this in the right size. I agree to add an edge like Angie said to take it from good to FAB.

Nakidra, I'm like you; I thought this dress was dowdy and a no-go...until I saw it on you just now. It's stunning. Even too big, it's stunning. I'm not even sure I'll be able to handle what it'll look like when you get the right size on.

Please do try a smaller size and I think you'll see what the rest of us see.

Buy it!

Smaller size will be much better. I think you will rock this. I'm still not feeling tbe love for this length midi but you can carry it off. Another option is have the skirt taken up...but maybe that defeats the purpose of tbe dress?

You are all SO sweet! Now I'm excited to get my smaller size and see what I can do with this dress! If it works, it will be perfect for work. I'll also try to dress it up even more for the fancy political dinners and fundraisers that my hubbie drags me too. I'll keep everyone updated!

I'm so glad you've had some sense knocked into you nakridra (is that your real name? gorgeous!) anyhow, back to the dress... it is so smokin hot on you, I can't even stand it. I can't wait to see the right size on you.

Please post a new photo when you get the smaller size!
