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.

Gorgeous as usual!!!

I am going back to DVF today. Need to bail out one of my holdings and do an exchange. I cut my hair rather significantly and now the Layla doesn't look right. Good thing I didn't wear it before the haircut! Ah, but I will get something else instead. [emoji6]

What a great outfit. Love that dress.

I love dvf. Her clothing are so feminine and well cut. I often find though that when people ask where the dress comes from and you respond Diane von Furstenberg they don't the brand. (I am based in london,uk) anyone else finds this or is it just me?

Awesome outfit and accessories! Hope we get a mod pic when you wear it. Love the leather jacket with it to give the super feminine outfit an edge. Did your husband notice the haircut? :p

I am in California and find that if someone knows anything about clothes they know DVF but if not then no they have no idea. Though usually the people that ask who makes the dress know about DVF.

Unfortunately I didn't get a shot with the whole outfit, this will have to do. DH LOVES the new look! He noticed immediately (unlike my DSs....[emoji317])

I'm new to this thread - all of you are a wealth of information. I learned the two dresses I had on order at Outnet are viscose/spandex so I called (luckily CS is open 24 hours) and cancelled the order. I had tried several dresses on at Nordstrom and I didn't know/pay attention that the fabric can differ. To be honest, the dresses I tried at Nordstrom felt too short for me for work (and I'm average height) and I'm reading that others of you feel this way too. I can see myself safety pinning the skirt so it doesn't fly open or always wearing it with tights. I will say I was pleased that the dresses were kept in such beautiful condition at Nordstrom. A while ago I went to Bloomingdale's in another city and was disappointed to see these lovely dresses dragging on the floor, falling off hangers, and already dirty on the hems from dust and debris on the floor.

I am learning about the differences between the various styles (collar/no collar, sleeve button/no button, and more). Is there a comprehensive reference or sticky I can read to learn the difference between printed jersey, stretch jersey, and silk jersey? I searched "made for outlet" and read the posts pertaining to that.

I want to sort out what all the fabric options are. For example, Nordstrom Rack online has dresses that are 90% cotton/10% silk, and the main Nordstrom website has viscose/rayon dresses. I don't know what jersey is made of. Appreciate your help.

Edited to add: Wow, looking at DVF dresses is so much fun! I just placed orders with Nordstrom, DVF, and Outnet and am hoping at least one style/color combo works out. I was aiming for a wrap dress originally but really like the style of the Reina. I would like to wear it as a tunic with leggings or tights if it fits well.

Welcome. DVF has so many styles that I am sure that you will find something that works well for you. I have found that most of her tunic style dresses are a bit short for me. I am 5'7" but with longer legs. Many of the tunic style dresses and non-wrap dresses have some fabric at the hem to let down. I have done that with a lot of her dresses and that makes them so much better. I really like the Kaden style. I found this print which I love in the Kaden and was able to size up 1 size for almost 2" of extra length.

I agree, that Kaden is gorgeous. I tried it on at Nordstrom and really liked it. The tropical print is so pretty!

I really like this style of dress - it seems the Giant Floral is the only design it comes in! Did you think Meg it more straight or a-line shape, possibly similar to the Gaby style from a wee while ago?

I'm waiting on some DVF dresses to arrive so I can try them on. If anybody has reviews of the Reina dress that they are willing to share, I would find that very helpful. I want to try the Reina dress as a tunic on top of dark leggings. Does it tend to run small similar to the wrap style?

In my experience the Reina runs tts.
