Thanks sweetie! I don't know if you can see my earrings in the picture but they are perfect :D DH noticed them and said how pretty they were. That's saying a lot. He didn't notice the difference between my denim 35 B and my turquoise 30 chèvre :roflmfao:.



You must post pictures next time you wear any DVF ;).

Meg, I DID notice and they are PERFECT on you! Noticed the bag, too! It stunning and soooo *you*. I promise I will take a pic next time. DHs are funny like that - just had at least 5 inches cut off my hair today, and I'm wondering if mine will notice!

5 " off the hair he will notice:laugh:. Mine notices shoes too. Pretty much anything else can pass for something else I already own. I did get 3 new DVF dresses today from the Saks clearance sale. Awesome prices but final sale on everything. I was able to use a gift card so it was all free.:D hope to post pictures tomorrow. One of the dresses was the same print I wore the other day in a sheath style. I sized up so it wouldn't bee too short and there is about an extra 1/2 that I can let it down. Love it. I also got a New Jeanne wrap in small orange leaves and the yellow, white and black New Yahzi. It a primary color yellow and not pastel so I think it works with my complexion.

Hi dears,

I am so excited! today my DvF Jacket arrived and though is seems to be a little bit hard to combine with the other things I have in my cupboard, I am in love with it. Just a question: beeing an European I ordered it in 42, that should be your size 12. They sent me size 8 that fits quite good, a little bit too loose in general, so that I am a little bit confused: any Europeans who can step in please and help me with the sizes, especially for the dresses? Shall I go for a 14 ( as it is said that you should go at least one size bigger) or shall I go for size 10 to 12?

*confused*

Congrats on the coat. I don't know how they converted a 42 sounds like IT sizing. That sounds closest to a US 8. What size do you normally wear in U.S. sizing? Or what size do you wear in the country you live in?

Dear megt10, thank you so much for your answer. Watching this thread I was so overwhelmed by your pictures and your beautiful dresses that look so good on you. (And, even if it is not appropriate over here: everytime I see you signature, I have to think of the Spitz I lost and have to cry a little bit, when it comes to dogs, I weep easiliy. Just wanted to say " I am sorry and I know how it fells")

So, the sizes- ugh, they sizing system tends to be a little bit chaotic over here. Beeing German, my German size would be a 40, that is an Italian 42 - 44, french 42, Spanish 38 OR 40, English 14. Unfortunately we do not have an DVF shop over here so I have to do Internetshopping. Having a small torso but very female hips (to say it in an euphemistic way) I am quite insecure about which dress I should buy and I'd love to have a DVF dress. So I don't go wrong with sizes.

My US size would be a 10, sometimes an 8, depends on the brand. So what do you think, should I go for size 12 ordering a dress? And, if that is not too much asked for: do you have a hint for me, which dress to order, having a pear shaped figure?

Thank you so much!

You sound like my twin :p we are the same size & pear shape - US8/10 depending on the brand, but mainly a 10 - I'm also a UK14. As I've mentioned in a couple of posts, I'm a US14 in DVF wraps and with consideration to the lower half, it's still not comfortable - on me that is. But DVF doesn't go bigger. I suggest in a wrap dress, go for a US14 to be on the safe side, you can always get it altered if you find its a little big.

Thank you so much Kathrin for your very kind words. I miss Beau every day even though I still have 2 more dogs at home. He was such a character. I am sorry for your loss as well. That is the only problem with animals, they just don't live long enough. Beau was almost 17 but it still wasn't enough time with him.

In regards to DVF sizing. I would probably follow Princess Pink's advice. There are so many styles to choose from. If you have Net-a-Porter in Germany I think I would try both a 12 and a 14 to see which fits you better. They are great about returns. I would also suggest one of the newer style wrap dresses that flair out a bit. I think that they give more room in the hips. Even with my weight gain I am still more straight up and down just a bit larger all over. I think I would rather go a bit bigger in a wrap than smaller for all over coverage. The key is to find places that you can order different styles and return what doesn't work.

I bought this dress a few months ago on sale and am finally wearing it. It is the Karlyn in Toile Collage Green. I am a huge fan of her sleeveless dresses living in SoCal. I just got this belt so decided to wear it with the dress. I liked the look. I had to size up in this dress to accommodate my rib cage and broad back.

So pretty! I didn't see this one at all out here in New England (probably because it is only warm about 1 month of the whole year!). And I love the way it looks with your Bal -- I feel like DvF and Bals were made for each other![emoji2]

Another gorgeous look for you Megt! Please keep them coming!!!

Have you tried a thin black belt too with the dress? I love the green, it's one of my favourite colours.

Here is the dress that I wore yesterday. It is the Jilda Two in Spring Dots Green. I think this one runs tts more so than the other wraps.
