The Diane von Furstenberg {DVF} thread!

[megt10]

Wow you look amazing love the blue Valentino rock studs too!!

Thank you Samina, you are very kind.

You look fantastic Meg!

I haven't bought any DVF in quite a while - nothing appeals to me the last few collections, not even at 50% off

Thanks Bayside. I am in the process of trying to get back in shape. I haven't purchased much DVF lately as most of the styles just aren't that flattering on me at the moment. I am going to be selling a large portion of my smaller DVF collection too. After menopause and everything else I doubt I am going to fit into her size 2 and 4 dresses any time soon.

Back in shape!?! I think you look GREAT! Although I know it's not where you want to be and it's relative.

Are you going to sell on Ebay or consignment shop? I've sold some DVF on Ebay, sometimes it's easy, other times it's a pain with non-payers and other stuff. It's worth a try, though.

Another picture the same DVF "Amelia" wrap dress @ Marriott Garden (Tokyo Marriott hotel), I'm 5'1" so its hem line just falls above my knees 1"1/2.

This is terrific on you!

Thank you, I know it is all relative. I just started selling on eBay so I will do that. I have way too much stuff in my closet and it is time to make some room. It has been a lot of work to be sure. Especially trying to answer all the questions. So far I only have 1 buyer that has yet to pay. She asked for a few days to transfer money to her pp account since her cc wouldn't go through for the amount she needed to pay. Me being nice am giving her 4 days. I do have a back up buyer who really wants the bag so I am not too concerned.

Please refresh my memory, what's the name of this dress?

Ladies, I wanted to get everyone's' opinion. In my haste to get at least ONE wrap dress during the DVF sample sale in NYC I ended up purchasing one in size 8. I'm normally a size 4 in wrap dresses! I think it may look okay but it IS a bit large in some areas. Here are some pictures. The leopard print is the size 8 and the other is my size 4.



Has anyone ever gone up 2 sizes? Is it still okay?

I think the size 8 is a little big for you the 4 looks like a perfect fit.

Hello ladies! It's been a while since I posted in this thread, but it's nice to see you as stylish and lovely as ever!

I was wondering if anybody has the Kawena jumpsuit. I missed out on the blue last year, but I was able to snag the purple on sale this year. The problem is now that I have it home, and have tried it on, I don't know if it's flattering on me. I was hoping you all would give me your opinions!

I am concerned about the length (I am 5'8") as you can't roll the silk to cuff the legs. I am also concerned about the volume at the midsection and how to belt it correctly. I don't know if the skinny tie belt it came with is enough on my frame, so I tried it with a wide belt as an alternative.

What do you think...yay or nay? Feel free to be honest, I have thick skin and would rather return it than keep an unflattering garment. Thanks!!

I really like it on you RG. I like it better with the skinny belt too. I think a wide one would be fine, but this one looks too wide for the jumpsuit. What is wrong with the length? It appears to be a good length from the photos. You could always have it hemmed if you want it shorter.

Nay. It looks good from the side but from the front and rear views isn't doing anything to flatter your figure.

Think a different belt might be better?
Wide one is a bit too much, the thin one looks too matchy matchy

It looks a little too large in the waist. It would fit me perfectly I think!
Just teasing. It's a little too big but it's fine.

I love this jumpsuit and the color is really nice. I do think it would look chic if it were rolled up on the leg once or twice. It should look really cute that way.

Regarding the belt- the wide one is causing issues with bunching. Do you have a chain belt to try, or else stay with the narrow fabric one that came with it.

What other accessories are you pairing with this?

This would go better with sandals (heeled or flat) than pumps
