How do dvf dresses fit

The answer is…. Second, the prints, the colors, the fabrics are all to die for and they somehow keep getting better and better every season.

We both own other DVF pieces because the print factory is great for blouses, wide-leg pants, and other silhouettes of dresses too. As someone that currently owns 7, I love that they retain their value, popularity, and demand. The older the better! I have worn and resold the occasional print at a profit, and even traded with Jennifer. But universally flattering? Only if you are flat-chested with a short waist and twig arms. Seriously, they are exceedingly difficult to wear.

But as we both have pointed out, Diane is everything we want to be, so we start wrapping and hope for the best. Read about what to wear and how to wear it on the YLF Blog. Join the YLF Forum to ask specific questions or just chat about fashion and personal style.

I'd like to get a DvF "Julian" wrap dress in black - it would fit my style and lifestyle so well, I think I'd get a lot of wear out of it. Does anyone know the length of the Julian Mini vs. I LOVE wearing wraps because they create much-needed curves for me and I think it's time to splurge on a winner! Ellen I hope you get lots of answers here because I am in the same boat as you!

Here I am Sorry, I have had a hectic day today - big presentation no sleep last night and I have just started going trough the threads.

I personally prefer it to the other material, it is lovely, and most of the DVF fans share that opinion. The classic wrap styles tend to run a bit small. A good recommendation I have heard is to look at her own size chart and size up one size from it, it worked perfectly for me. The seasonal dresses have random inconsistent styling. With the wrap styles you can sometimes get away with a size smaller or a size bigger.

I am not familiar with Julian mini I am afraid. And I'd say they are certainly worth the money, you would wear them forever! The silk jersey is dry clean only. That's great, Tanya, thanks for answering! I have been debating between trying an 8 or 10 so I will try the 10 first and see how that works. And I will hold out for the silk jersey. Is it the kind of dry clean you can get away with handwashing, or is it just dry clean, do you think? The label says " dry clean only" I am afraid.

I have heard that when a label says " dry clean" you may get away with gentle hand washing, but if it is " dry clean only" than it should be dry cleaned. Angie would know more about this than me, I'm sure. Ok, good to know. I will have to debate on that one because I'd prefer the silk, but I have a baby, so it might be better not to have to dryclean Btw, the silk jersey does not feel or look like regular silk.

And it's almost mate, it has a very subtle luster to it. It sounds like beautiful fabric It is a great solution for making wraps a touch more hassle-free. Or, you can just throw on a camisole underneath. I have also found that the stretch viscose fabric is a little clingier, since it has lycra, so it seems to hug on to the bust a little better and, thus, stay closed better.

I also find the Willow and Kye wraps to stay in place rather well, but that could just be the way those cuts fall on my particular physique. If you are not long-legged, be prepared to have them tailored, which does affect the line of the piece.

There is a lovely drape and a bit of natural stretch so that it flatters a wide range of figures. It does not wrinkle, which makes it perfect for globe-trotting.

That also means that you may be able to fit into two or three sizes in a particular dress style, just because of the natural flexibility of the silk weave. That is why so many fit measurements are given as ranges in the descriptions of DvFs. This means that you can probably wear a larger range of sizes in that fabric than you could of an item in the regular silk jersey.

The material is woven so that is looks rather small when laid out and then expands to gently hug your curves without being binding. A wonderful break-through material! If you have any ideas or input about DvF fit, please do send them to me and I can eventually add your advice to this guide! I will probably author a DvF fabric care guide at some point in the future, but if you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to contact me. 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. My vote is for the high collar. Draws more attention to the neckbone. I bought her high collared blouses in every collar for that very reason. Agnes , I have ordered from DVF. When I order from DVF.
