My suggestion is to keep the size up. I take a 14 in wraps, but a 10 in everything else. I'm 'bottom-heavy' too and need the 'space' :graucho: that the 14 gives, and have to wear a cami underneath to cover the bust, I also find the top part a little baggy and loose but prefer it that way. Really the wraps shouldn't been fitted too much, they aren't bandage dresses and I think a little looseness helps with movement and looks better. This is my opinion but quite possibly there will be someone who will disagree ;)

Thanks for your response! I'm still debating.

Well, I guess it really depends on how you feel in it. I am not bottom heavy, more straight up and down with broad shoulders and I always size up 1 in the wrap dresses. I have found that if I don't want to wear a cami, like in the summer, then I can wear a really padded bra and that keeps the dress from gaping in the chest area.

Thanks for your response. My problem is I'm petite bone structure wise (short body, shoulders, arms and legs) - and whenever I size up in anything, the proportions are all out of whack. I'm still debating - sigh!

Sorry i can't figure out how to double quote!

Hey -- I deleted the pics on photobucket. You will love the ferns print - so summery and fresh! Got compliments on it the first time I wore it! ;)

You know, I ended up returning the Shibori leaves. I look best in a bolder print, which this definitely is and the print looked good on me, but something wasn't quite right. I finally realized that the "navy" was more of a faded navy, it wasn't a strong, true navy. I read an on-line review that described the color as pallid, and I think that's a good summation. Too bad, because like I said I loved the bolder print and thought it looked good on me :cry: Too expensive not to be 100% on board with it, though.

Princess Pink and megt10 - thanks for the sizing advice - I'm going with your suggestion to size up!!!! The size up actually makes me look slimmer since I am bottom heavy. I also worry a little bit about silk shrinking ever so slightly at the dry cleaners and when you buy something that 'just' fits (also know as 'just because you fit in it doesn't mean it fits you') - you really are taking a chance.

Thanks again for the advice!

You're welcome! Please post photos. Another idea instead of a cami is to wear a little bandeau type top over your bra to cover the cleavage :D and it's not as bulky as wearing a full cami underneath.
