New Short Sleeved Dress

[ Edited ]

Did anyone receive their dress? I ordered it in black and it arrived. The material is nice and substantial, but I feel that it runs large. I am a solid 6-8 hourglass shape and ordered the small. Its a bit too roomy and the sides flare out a bit too much adding bulk to the hip area. The sleeves are loose as well.

I was just looking for others opinions on fit, I like it enough to try the XS to see if its a better fit or if the style just isnt good for me.

THanks, please let me know what you think. I just re-ordered it to check if the smaller size is better.

I ordered the Small in the black. Hopefully this is the correct size for me. The dress looks A line so that is a big plus for me.

I received mine in the black in XS. I am a size 6 and the dress fits well. It skims the body and is by no means tight or big, maybe a bit easy, but I couldn't wear the xxs. I think the xs will be good for you.

I am a 6 or an 8 in B and M stores depending on store/designer. I have found that I am happier when I order XS in Linea dresses, which is what I ordered in this one. I always look at the 'click here' measurements and agonize which size to go with, and then I go with the XS (and try not to be swayed by others who have already received it, because I know my body and fit preferences best {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}).

I will post once I receive it - scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I am thinking that you will definitely be happier with an XS in this one.{#emotions_dlg.biggrin} Elysee

Thanks MarilynM! I really like the dress, if the XS is a good fit I might get the blue one too.

LOL, I do the same thing, except I'm between a 2 and a 4. I almost always order an XXS which usually fits. But sometimes the item is still too big, and others I need to size up. I ordered the quilted jacket in both an XXS and XS hoping one will work. Hated to order both, but was afraid of missing out. Anyway, back to the dresses, mine (I ordered both colors) are due to be delivered today. Will report back once I try them on. Smiley Happy

My dress arrived and it looks great in my Small-- the bust is fitted but not tight and the waist is semi fitted. The dress flares out after that and it ends at the bottom of my knee caps.

The dress looks great below the aubergine jacket too.

I received mine yesterday and agree with JustJazzmom's assessment. I'm a 2-4 and ordered XXS. It is fitted but not tight. I was needing a basic LBD and this fits the bill - can be dressed up or down. The blue will be especially nice in the summer, wear with sandals and a few accessories.
