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.

Thanks Meg! In all the stock photos, it appears the hem hits just above the ankle. The length, as is, works for me but I had it in my head that it changed the look of the jumpsuit. On a side note, I hope your knee is doing well!! You look amazing in your last outfit post... blue DVF w/ blue RS!! :tup:

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

Thanks Bayside! My bum is fairly round, so it was a surprise to see how flat the jumpsuit makes it look. DH wasn't impressed... ;)

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

Thanks Samina! The gray belt is 3" wide and the matching tie belt is 1.75" wide. I think I'll look for a belt that is 1.75-2.0" wide in black patent, a tonal purple, or a metallic leather.

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?

Thanks Gail! I don't have a chain belt, but could probably use one in my wardrobe. If you had a particular one in mind, I am open to suggestions. :smile1: If it matters, the fabric tie belt is 1.75" wide.

As far as accessories go, I was thinking strappy sandals heeled or flat (I think the pumps in the photo are too bulky) and depending on the belt, either a statement necklace or a stack of bracelets. I was thinking this chainmaille bib from Bauble Bar would be cool!

Rockstuds would look amazing with it!

I agree! I just bought my first pair of RS, nude patent kitten heels. :hbeat: I'll have to try it on with them and a different belt.

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

Thanks SouthernLV! I agree, and will probably have the jumpsuit hemmed so it hits above my ankle bone. I've got a couple of strappy sandal options in my closet already (GZ Alien, Jimmy Choo Vamp, CL Summerissima and YSL Tributes). I really like the look of this seasons strappy sandals with the 1-2" ankle cuff. Do you think the ankle cuff would be too much?

I love that necklace. If you do that, I would wear the fabric belt might be too much metal goin' on.

I love that necklace. If you choose that, just go with the fabric belt or you'll have too much metal goin' on.

Thank you RG. My knee is pretty much back to normal. I had 3 surgeries in the last 6 months none for my knee, but I am now finally better and trying to get back in shape and lose the weight that I put on or at least most of it.

As far as metal belts go I have several Brighton ones and they are really cute, not very expensive and last a long time. I almost always get compliments on them too. Regardless of what you decide on the jumpsuit you look great.:smile1:
 
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 thnk it looks fine. Couldn't even tell they were different sizes. I feel that the wrap dresse sizes are slightly different between one another. I can fit in between size 6 to size 10 depending on which wrap dress it is.
 
A small rant :pout:

Why does DVF advertise (sale) items on their website, then you make your order, receive confirmation and then a few days later an email is sent saying the item is out of stock! Ok so they offer a discount on your next full price purchase, but I can't afford to make full price DVF purchases so it's pointless 'compensation'. I purchased basically as soon as the email regarding the sale was received so can't believe the items were already 'sold'.

This has happened to me three times now. I shop on-line mostly and no other retailer ever does this; the stock is obviously not updated!

So frustrating!!!

Hi all!

So I got this wrap during the clear the rack sales at Nordstrom Rack, and I'm wondering what color(s) of cami or slip dresses I can wear with this wrap dress to prevent flashing anyone? I have a bigger bust so I just want to take precaution. I know some have mentioned snap buttons, which I'll definitely have put in for more precaution.

TIA!

Navy it should be. I believe the 'rules' are a cami should be the same colour as the main colour of the dress.
 
Code:
Ooh great idea! Those come in tons of colors too, I'd be able to find the right shade of blue.

Also I purchased a load of stretchy bandeau type tops that just fit around your chest over the bra and are perfect to use as a cleavage coverup :D without the extra layer of a full cami everywhere else - I think they were from F21 last year and only a couple of dollars each, I purchased every colour available :p very handy! Haven't looked at F21 this year but I'm sure you'll be able to find similar somewhere.

I feel that would work perfectly without being bulky, but I never find them in my size :( I saw some cute ones at Nordstrom Rack but they were all too small.
 
Orioti, I believe. I have this dress, but lost the removable straps. Oops. However, it looks way better strapless.

Caprice on Ladies of London had it on in last week's episode.

Duke are you coming back here? I am back! I really didn't buy much DVF for almost 2 years because of all the health stuff I was going through. Now my size 4 wraps are a bit too small and I am selling all of them and my size 2 sheath dresses. So you know what that means I need to buy some new DVF :p I got the 2 Jeanne wraps that were on sale for the Nordstrom Anniversary pre-sale. I figured I was an 8, but they were too large. I was able to order a 6 in Snake Plum but the Navy which was more of a royal blue to my eye was sold out. I took the dresses back today and my SA found the Navy last one in the company in a 6 for me. Of the dresses the Snake Plum felt smaller than the Navy. I think maybe because of the extra dye made the dress feel more stiff. Anyway I also recently bought and wore for the first time the Samara Zebra Tattoo skirt. I thought about getting the dress but it is such a heavy skirt that I think it would just be too warm.
