And it's just taken me this long to get to the regular post. The usual weekend stuff....
Oh yes, it most definitely was running large. I know I've lost weight since last summer, but... Anyway, the M was huge on me. To my fave petite JCA girls, I hope the XXS works on you - but considering how much room there with the S on me, I don't know. Definitely worth a try-on IRL or getting measurements from CS before ordering.
Wide-shouldered gals, like myself, guess what? Plenty of room in the shoulders. Maybe because it's knit? But no pulling or tightness. Yay! The knit on this is nice & substantial - esp important when there are wide white stripes. And did you notice the cute zippers on each side at the bottom? What a fun detail!
As you can tell from the previous post, the PV set, I wore this on Friday. A gorgeous early spring day. Nice & warm, sunny, just perfect. I paired it with black leggings and my black TOMS. The TOMS themselves merit a post of their own which I promise I'll get to. I'll just say this - love love love. Then a pair of gold hoops and a ponytail to show off the hoops and the nicely wide neckline, and I was good to go.
I thought the dress worked really well with the leggings. If you're nervous about the length, they are a perfect solution. And they kept my legs warm - it was nice outside, but not that nice, and you all know I always run cold. Without the leggings, yes, it's a short dress. No, I won't be belting it like in the online pic because (1) I don't wear belts, and (2) that would likely make it too short. When it's warmer, I'll be wearing it with anything flat shoe-wise - sandals, Converse, TOMS, espadrilles, navy flats, yellow flats.
Definitely a fun dress for spring!!

You look GREAT Heidi! :)
I have this dress too but it hasn't been quite warmer enough here to wear it yet! But hopefully soon! ;) C'mon spring!!!
Thanks for sharing-- I always enjoy your reviews & IRL pics because we are right around the same size! Although if you keep losing weight, then that might change! :-0
Please share your weight loss tips, you look great as always and I love the way you paired the dress with the leggings.
I absolutely adore this dress/tunic. I actually bought it. But then returned it. Let me tell you why. One day at work I spied the EXACT same print, same color, same EVERYTHING as someone rounded the corner. I thought, "omg, who is wearing the dress??" as there are not many JCrew shoppers at my office, if there are any aside from me at all. So, I went into the cube area and find out who it was and turned out to be a new guy who has a freaking rugby in the EXACT same color, wide print, everything!!! I nearly died. I couldn't do it. I couldn't risk wearing it the same day/time he wore his rugby. I'm sure I'll kick myself in the butt for returning it. Now that I see you wearing it, it makes me long for it again. But then my mind's eye flashes back to Chester wearing his rugby and I just can't do it!!
Fash Boulevad - thanks! I will definitely check out your blog. *Love* Brad, so cute.
MMM - thanks! Not yet warm enough for me to do it bare-legged, but the leggings definitely worked for warmth. I even had a trench on with it in the early morning and it looked great. No worries, won't be losing more weight. Happy where I am. :)
Anonymous - thank you! I've been working on a weight loss post. Not sure if it will help others, but will be puttin it up today or tomorrow.
Pamela - Oh noooo!!!!!! Ok, I don't blame you one bit. That would totally turn me off of it. Maybe if it's on sale later and you could save for weekends or evenings? Or wear it 3 days after Chester? I will actually be chuckling now every time I wear the dress because I'll be on the lookout for the Chesters here!!
