Thank you Panterka. I had a couple of rough years and didn't get out much. That with putting on about 15 lbs and selling my size 2 and 4 dresses didn't give me much opportunity. I have recently rediscovered my love of DVF and have added a few new things that I hope to wear and post soon. I got in the mail yesterday the 'Amelianna' Cotton & Silk Wrap Dress Simple Vines. It is on sale at Nordstrom. It is very similar to the Amelia dress but not as heavy or poofy. I ordered it in both a 6 and an 8 for comparison. I found it to be tts and I am keeping the 6. There wasn't a lot of difference between the two sizes. There was more room in the upper back area of the dress and the sleeves, but the chest coverage was the same. The length was the same and there was a bit more poof in the back of skirt part of the dress. All in all I like this style better than the Amelia. This one also has pockets. :smile1:

Hello Ladies, I'm new to this thread and just bought this dress made out of silk. I wear it as a tunic and would like to take care of it myself. So I'm asking your advice: do I have to take it to the dry cleaners or can I wash it myself? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I know that there have been a few ladies that have carefully washed their dry clean only clothes. I always dry clean mine. Maybe they can weigh in on it.

That pattern looks fantastic on you:smile1: I love the NJTwo style - the 3/4 sleeve is very flattering.

I ended up sending the Zoe dress back to Last Call - just so annoyed about it ;)

Thank you. I don't blame you for being annoyed. I received 2 dresses that were said to be silk from The Rack and they were both Viscose. I didn't even bother trying them on.

^^ nude tights I think is your only option - as the dress is heavily patterned and quite a feature, any significant colour of tights will only clash......also the colours are summery so I don't think thick tights would work............

If it's really too short, just go shorter and turn it into a top.....those colours would look great with jeans.......

I totally forgot to come back and update you all. My alterations lady at Nordstrom was able to make it work, she took fabric from the belt and made it a couple of inches longer!
