Don't feel too bad! I am probably older and wiser, but "knew" this dress was not for my XL short round self! I also have learned to trust my own instincts and not succumb to Linea fever, hoping an item will make me look like Jac, Kate, Chantal, Maria, etc. Sigh.
There are, however, always things that work wonderfully for me. Right now I am shopping my closet, have plenty for awhile.

Although l loved the mambo dress at first sight, I realized that I can no longer carry off this sort of look. It broke my heart to pass despite my early enthusiasm. So, I feel deeply for you on this. I suppose that is why I wrote that I wish I were in my 30s wearing the mambo/flapper dress.
Oh well, I have been excessive in other Linea areas -- and the Palm Frond jewelry is coming up. There will be something for you to madly love in the not-too-distant future, I am sure.

Honestly, I think we've all been in this situation! Enjoy what works for you, and those things are usually pretty spectacular in how great they can make you look and feel. The others, like this mambo dress, are fun to look at on the models but pass by for us.
I am shopping my jewelry box too, not buying new at all, hoping for the palm frond necklace though. I missed the silver fish in a blink of an eye so am checking frequently for the palm frond one.
Glad we could cheer you up!

My coffee bean mambo dress looks fantastic!!
I tried it on in the size Small and it fits!! I paired it with some Monet jewelry from JCP I had gotten several months ago-- bronze and gold beaded necklaces. The earrings posted would work. I bought different ones from JCP.
I also have some vintage faux tiger eye statement necklace from Monet with matching earrings that works with this color dress too.
These are the earrings I bought:
