How do dvf wrap dresses fit

I wear a 6 in the dresses, and an 8 in the shirts. I love the first dress you chose. IntlSet Bonjour! Jan 29, 12, 54 Chicago. I think the wrap dresses tend to run a little small, depending on how you're shaped I don't have very big boobs, but there's quite a gap when I wear the size I usually wear a size 0 in other brands. A size 2 DVF wrap dress fits me best. Jan 23, 3, The top is were the problem is-I am a 36 c, a couple of the wrap dresses look better with a lace camisole so I don't have to worry.

Jul 23, 1, 1 Sweet Carolina. I agree to size up one. Her line runs smaller to me if you are curvy. Jul 19, 0. I agree. If you are a busty girl go up a size. Otherwise, I would say they run true to size unless you get one of the eyelet dresses which don't stretch. I'm a big fan of her dresses and tops. They are gorgeous and fun to wear. I'm excited too because it's not a wrap dress and the print is very bold, so it's sort of out of my box a bit.

Does anyone know if there is a "faux" wrap DVF dress? I look better in wrap dresses are are faux fixed wrap rather than self wrapping dresses. Happylife, I was looking at that woman's blog, and also checking ebay stores, but I'm thinking I'd prefer to get one from a company I'm sure of.

I am so excited about the Julian I think I will wear it all the time. I'm thinking black, though part of me wants chocolate. I'm not sure yet which one. Chocolate is almost as versatile as black, but a bit warmer. Plumeria, I'm pretty sure I've seen faux wraps while I've been looking, but I could be wrong on that. On the DVF site there are only brown and black, but on ebay there are a variety of prints, some vintage.

Of course, not all may be the real thing The regular length fits just above my knees I'm 5'6". Wow, Sarah, I would be thrilled if I found it for that! And thanks for letting me know about the length, because I've been debating the mini, but if you're 5'6 and the regular length hits above your knees, it will be higher than that for me as I am 5' I wanted to add too about ordering one size up: My dress is a 12, and I couldn't wear it until I was a But it still fits great as an 8.

That's the beauty of a wrap dress! I'm 5'6" too, with pretty long torso, so things tend to hit me a little higher then they do people with normal torso length. I am glad that the pic was helpful Ellen. I am looking forward to a photo of you in your Julian dress some time in the near future. I also own a Julian wrap dress--mine is a green and black print from her "vintage" collection.

I actually didn't even realize it was silk until I read this thread and checked my tag--I had assumed it was cotton. I'm only 5'1, and I have very short legs, and the regular Julian was long on me--it hit me at about upper-middle calf.

I had to get it altered to knee length. I hadn't even known that a mini length existed--my guess is that it would work well for someone like me. I'm not sure how tall you are, though, so it's hard to really advise.
