, the 34 I tried in white which

I like the white shorts on you a lot. I think they are very flattering and cute. they create a very nice hourglass silhouette

black is more flattering. I like the less fitted look so I may even try one size bigger and go for more a shift dress vibe.

@sparklehop , you mentioned you didnt like your side view in the knit dress (to me that takes it out of the running). I agree that you could try a size up as per @addiCCted, but it’s possible that a size up might simply be too big all over. Have you considered trying @Bdbunny ’s stiff dress, which comes in black? That might be even more flattering bc of the slight A line of the skirt. Hermes does a variety of knit dresses or knit tops with matching skirts, and I actually think a top and bottom skirt combo from spring summer 23 would look great on you. It’s the BdG cap sleeve sweater in a synthetic jersey knit and Very slim skirt. JMO

@Bdbunny, Love the etoupe stiff dress on you even more than the white or black. Looks amazing! It’s a neutral, but it has some contrast against your complexion and doesn’t wash you out! LOVE

Aw thanks so much @880 !! You made me feel so much better about that dress!!

Thanks so much!! I think I need to try on the dress again because I realized I was wearing my top underneath and that May have created some extra lumps haha. Also hoping to start a more regimented exercise routine?! (Here’s to hoping right haha)

I do think I might like the white shorts more but with a baby and toddler I think it’ll be not so practical (already washing my white pants nonstop). I also have 2 other white shorts which was why I wanted to get black which I was surprised I don’t have currently. There weren’t other dresses today in my size at least. But I’ll try to go back in July since my SA is going on vacay.

Maybe I’ll pass on the shorts, try the dress again and the sets like you mentioned! A lot of the summer collection doesn't seem to be available anymore in my size at least :/

I don’t know… received the etoupe belted dress (aka stiff dress) today. I will keep it, but I definitely like the white better. I guess the etoupe feels more like a fall dress (which I guess it technically is FW.) I do like the big pockets on these dresses.

I am on the fence about which color I should get this dress in as well. I think etoupe looks nice on you! I was considering etoupe since I feel like they make white and black dresses more regularly. My concern for the etoupe dress was if I paired it with an etoupe bag & shoes (which I often wear), it might be etoupe overload lol.

I didn’t mean to imply you didn’t look amazing! You look great. I just know that if I don’t like my side view, I end up unhappy with a purchase lol.

its shown with the cap sleeve sweater and comes in a variety of colors or did: cream; black; a lavender blue; and pink

the cap sleeve sweater runs larger than the long sleeved one (I bought both), and I could swear that the lavender runs smaller than the black, IDK (maybe I just looked chunkier in the lavender)

@moy , if I can get the etoupe stiff dress in my size, I’m going to pair it with etoupe 30B and etoupe sandals. I think theyre lighter and less saturated, so it will be a tonal effect. We can be twins

@JavaJo , I got the same diner vibe as per your comment below which is kind of appealing to me and why I want it lol.

Love the etoupe on you! I wish they had this colour at my store. When I held up the white one on me, it gave me a bit of a retro nurse’s uniform vibe, or the diner servers from the 50s (but I do have a crazy imagination sometimes)

Ok I just played dress up and put the stiff dress back on, and tried it with the etoupe or bust look as well as with black shoes and black B25. Wearing it with etoupe Oasis and B30 sellier and also KD25. (DH thinks I’ve lost my mind!) I don’t know, I think the etoupe overload kinda works!
ETA: the B30 is Epsom which appears to be less saturated than the KD25 in Togo

I’ll have to let my SA know I’m going to go with the etoupe one lol. I do wish the dress wasn’t so stiff. I tried sizing up thinking it would help, but both sizes felt exactly the same.

Thanks for the pics! I like it paired more with the black, but I don’t think etoupe overload looks as crazy as I imagined. It’s a nice monochromatic look that can be dressed up with a scarf.

@880 @sparklehop

I second the BdG skirt/top combo. I esp like that blush/nude combo. Really shows off the details. I think that would suit you very much @sparklehop.

Hello! Would love some opinions does anyone have this H sleeveless dress (wool) or the F/W shorts.

I tried the shorts first on in black in size 32 which was a little tight since it’s very stiff cotton, the 34 I tried in white which is my size. But I think I would get in black since I have other shorts in the off white color (wasn’t in stock in store though). I can’t decide if they’ll be comfortable, they were very stiff. Was wondering if they stretch.

This wool dress I loved it’s form-fitting and not oversized which means it fits me and was not too long to my surprise (although unforgiving from the side view).

The silk tunics don’t look good on me at all unfortunately, I tried a couple today too.

Would you get this dress in black as shown here or in the white since I have the matching cape motif in white. Although not sure if they would pair well. I didn’t purchase today since it sounds like they’ll have it around for awhile, wanted for have a think (and some opinions!).

I did get the navy leather cap that’s in some of these pics though (I’m a sucker for hats!). Was an unexpected find in my size just sitting there.

Thank you for any thoughts!

We had a very similar try on session. My SA and I were so surprised to find the shorts in 32 that I tried it on and they were definitely too tight. But some of their RTW runs so much bigger I wish it was in 32! But I decided it's a bit plain so passed on it.

I ended up purchasing the exact black dress you're trying on. I think you will like it without the top underneath. The top portion looks a bit bumpy from the side, probably from the top underneath. I think it looks great on you!

It's sooo comfortable! I joked with my SA that maybe I can wear it for my next flight. It can so easily be dressed up and down, with sandals, heels or sneakers. It also looks very elegant with a scarf draped on the shoulders. Great basic but with elevated details. I especially like the extra ribbing at the shoulders and neckline!

 

[JavaJo]

Thanks for sharing! Im so torn if I should do white or black! It seems like a durable material right?

Do they have a dress like this each year?

Yes, I do like the heavier knit! There’s an etoupe version available on the Canadian website. The black one looks great on you!

Any of these combos work well! This one’s a keeper IMO

Sorry I quoted you 2x still learning how to use this! Thank you. I think I will try that on next visit and the dress again! I do think the dress is marinating well, now the harder decision will be choosing color.

Thank you! I will give this a go next tkme. My only concern is the skirt will be too long. I almost didn’t try on the wool dress my SA thought it would be too long but since it was a shorter design it was ok.

That’s so funny! Yeah the 32 gave
me a wedgie haha. I agree, my SA said more styles will be coming out in 32 which is great since this oversized fashion is drowning me! You got the dress in black too? Did you happen to try in the other 2 colors? You’re def helping sell it to me!

Yes, I do like the heavier knit! There’s an etoupe version available on the Canadian website. The black one looks great on you!

I actually saw that color in store but then didn’t have my size, only in the black. I feel like I need to they all 3 colors but the white could match my cape (although I don’t know if I would actually wear them together). The black def looks nice now need to compare!

Etoupe sounds like the winner color

Etoupe is a great neutral for sure! They didn’t have my size yesterday, but more will be coming in stock in time my SA thought.

Thank you all for your comments!! I think I’ll get this dress just need to pick the color! And I’ll try BDG on too
