The Diane von Furstenberg {DVF} thread!

Hi, I'm a newbie here. Nice to meet you all.
I'm curious about if I wear DVF Zoe in size 8, would it be ok to wear DVF amelia in size 10?
Thank you.

I couldn't tell you if you asked. I have dresses in size 8, 10, 12, M and L.....and I think my wrap dress size is incompatible with my bust/body! I have tried in 10 and 12 and looking at 14.

If you have access, I think it's best to simply try it on yourself or order two sizes and return the one that doesn't fit.

Thank you for your advice.
I also purchased the Elenor dress as well.
Loving it. Mine is size S.
I hope to share experiences with you all cos I love DVF.

Hi, my name is Aire. Nice to meet you all.
This pic I'm wearing DVF St. Petersburg dress.
I'm wearing it in size S. (My reference is I'm 5'3 and 125 pounds)

I really love this dress. The fit is perfect.
I think it could go with any occasions.

This is from side view.

This pic I pair it with DVF Mikhalia jacket.
I got this jacket from ebay for a really good deal.

This is another look : DVF Yvette diamond dress size 4.
This one actually runs small for me. I can go up to 6 or 8.
The upper part is fine for me but the hips is too small for me.
I think I should lose some weight so it would fit me perfectly.

Side view.
The upper back is a black material with a bit stretchy.

I pair it with my DVF Belle Fur Collar Coat which I got it last year.
I think it really compliments each other though.
The coat is in size 2.

Side view.
I think it would go with pants too.
I have seen the look from Olivier Palermo.

I still have more looks to share with you.
Hope you like it.

How did you do that? Anyways. I would keep it long. It is sure to make you appear taller/slimmer.

Nordstrom Racks clear the rack event. It was marked to 265, but when I got to the register it rang up 114, and with the clear the rack event, all clearance was an additional 25% off so it brought it to 85.50, and I had a $50 gift card from the holidays which brought me to $35.50! I figured for that price I couldn't say no.

Sounds like my deals for Black Friday....

But I just scored 4 fab dresses and a pair of shoes that way. My kids gave me GC's for Xmas.

Kenya arrived today...I'm thrilled. I actually think I could have gotten away with a smaller size but she's def. a keeper.




Funny...this dress looks different in different lighting

You're not alone. I'm 5'5, bra 34D and either a 6/8 depending on the bust. I went to the DVF store on Melrose in LA, which was completely empty and told all the SAs (in a non-obnoxious way) to convince me that I could wear a wrap dress well. I tried on the various styles, and basically got them to admit it's not for every body type (i.e. busty women). I have a couple of her dresses (non wraps) and love them though.

I was actually in her NYC flagship a few months ago and saw DVF in the flesh adjusting the shoes in the shoe section (adorable!). I didn't say anything to her, but wanted to so badly ask her what the deal was with the wrap dress on busty women. I was too chicken though.

I wonder what she would have said?

I agree with you - am not what I would consider busty (36C) but still have to wear a 14 in wraps, and always have to wear a cami or boob tube underneath, there is no way I could wear a wrap without. And in every other brand I'm an 8-10.

I think the wraps are best for straight-up and down boyish figures. Even in the size 14 there isn't much room for hips. I'm curvy and secretly convinced that I'm not supposed to wear these dresses. But I have about 6 wraps and feel guilty of the $$$ spent so still try and wear them. To be honest, I really just fell for the marketing hype that 'every woman needs a wrap'. Stupid me.

I still want to try a wrap...or two. I have put a many of fabric add-one to dresses to keep the "girls" contained but wouldn't blame it on the design. I'm currently looking into making one and have found that a lot of work would need to take place to properly fit and there is no way any company would go to great lengths to run the same dress in two different ways. It would require more than just adding more fabric---it requires a little more tailoring.

Try the Amelia style, I have the same 'hip' issue with the regular wrap dresses but because this style has a fuller skirt it works well

I will do - is the fabric the same as the other wraps? I loved the Amelia style when it was first released - unfortunately I'm a DVFer on a budget so try and always go for sale deals, never seen the Amelia going as low as the other styles do on sale - but when I see a print I love will just have to bite the bullet.
