This dress was love at first sight. I have pined over it for what feels like forever. It is beautiful, classic, versatile, and the quality is impeccable. You can see the love that went into this garment from the design detail, to the fabric used. It is the best. Unfortunately, despite many attempts, this dress just doesn't work for my shape. I am a true pear shape: small up top with wide hips and rear, and athletic thighs. I wear a size 27 or 28 in denim, and either a small or medium in pants. All of the dresses in my closet are a Small. I have tried this dress in a 4, 6, and 8 and none worked. It went from too tight around the bottom to less tight, but the top part just got progressively bigger and looked off. It would have been too much $$$ and too much work to bring to the tailor. I AM BUMMED.
Overall this dress is stunning and I will live vicariously through all of you who look amazing in it.
