this anthro dress

brazilian · Dooney & Bourke

I remember seeing one like that last summer, but I didn't like it in person. But I think it was cotton, and the fabric wasn't the best of quality. The one you like though is silk, and on the model it looks nice. There's no Anthro close to you for you to see for yourself?

Ooh I've seen it and tried it on and it's beautiful. I loved it and just hanv't bought it because the last thing I need is another dress!

Unfortunately the closest one to me is about 3.5 hours away. That is probably a good thing for my bank account. biggrin

What is the sizing like? I am all over the map at anthro in terms of their sizes, but if it helps, I am normally a size 6 at Ann Taylor, gap, old navy.

I have it and I think it looks pretty in person! Though these aren't the best pictures.

I think the dress runs a little small. I got a 0 and it fits me almost perfectly and often the 0s at Gap, BR, AT, etc. are too big on me. The back of the bust is smocked so it does have some stretch there but the waistband is pretty snug on me and I have a pretty small waist/ribcage.

That is so beautiful on you and I love it with the cardigan. Now I really want it.

Forgive the hijack, but the dress and those glasses are absolutely lovely on you!
