Thanks for the reply. I was at Nordies yesterday returning something and saw a size 12 wrap so I tried it on for fit (didn't like the piano pattern). It fit okay, but really a 14 is better at this point, just more comfortable overall. But at least I know if what I want is only available in a 12 I can wear it. Hopefully the 14s won't be too big if I do lose the weight. 10 was much too snug.

I think either would do-I too have 12 -14 -and just wrap tighter the 14's --I think the new Julian is a little bigger -ps not my fav print-the whishbone-I've seen some awesome prints on you before!
I just treated myself to the Julian gold wired snake-from bloomingdales 20 % sale-cant wait -I dont have any gold prints

Just got the Jeanne in Wishbone print. On the fence about it - what do you guys think?

No, I would pass. There is much nicer out there!

Have you thought about wearing a more A-line shaped dress? Say something fitted though the top flaring out into an A-line skirt? I know how much the wrap dresses are iconic et all but similar to the other dresses you wanted opinions on a wee while ago (the pink & the black), I don't think these styles do justice to your shape.

Um...I'm a larger lady - I don't have much of a "shape", and I'm trying to do the best I can with what I have to work with. :rain:

I think you're trying to be helpful, but I'm beginning to wonder, since you've made repeated comments about my figure. Not cool. :nono:

:confused1: you've been asking for comments about the various dresses - and I'm just giving my opinion, as others have given theirs. I am just being truthful when I say that the style of dresses you have chosen in my view, don't suit your shape! I'm sorry if you find this 'not cool' but it's what I see from the photos you've posted. I'm a 14 in wraps too but a different shape, and from trying different patterns and styles, know what I can wear and what I can't. Isn't that what you want to know too - by posting the questions? I'm no expert but I know that large patterns make me look bigger and to stay away. I know that the 3/4 sleeve is more flattering on me that the full. That's why I love this site as I've learned so much about what (and what not) to wear. I understand that no matter what size we are, regardless of designer or non-designer, we should work with what we've got, but sometimes no matter how we try, things just don't work. Even if it seems the whole world is wearing a certain brand, if it doesn't work for us (our shape) then so be it! I would love love love a pair of Jbrand skinnies but it is never ever going to happen!;)

Baysidebeauty, I was only really trying to be helpful and again, I'm apologize if I'm not giving the opinion you are hoping for. Many people on this forum IMO post pictures of themselves wearing non-flattering outfits (as much as there is people wearing fab looks and giving great ideas) but I wouldn't comment as they aren't asking for comment. But if a post is asking for opinions, then that's what I'll give.
