The
Akebia dress by Moulinette Souers was so darling in person and because it recently hit the sale rack, I decided to try it on. They only had a few left at my local store in Mt. Lebanon so I grabbed a 6 instead of my usual Moulinette Souers size (an 8). I thought the print colors were really lovely in person and it would make a great spring or summer picnic outfit. The tiers add dimension without being overwhelming. I think this dress is a decent value (at the sale price). But I ultimately passed. While the 6 fit, I think the 8 would have felt better.
The
Collected Calico dress by Maeve reminded me (in print but not in dress silhouette) quite a bit of a Marc by Marc Jacobs collection from a few seasons ago. I tried a size 10 because the sizes were picked through from the discounted price. The 10 was very big on top, even though I am fairly bosomy. I passed. I steer clear of spaghetti strapped dresses anyway so I expected not to love it.
The
Fragmented Pipevine dress also by Maeve was kind of odd. I tried on another 10 but it was way too big instead of mostly too big like the above. I hadn't expected the elastic panels on the side. It is on sale but I wasn't crazy about this one.
I loved the
Arribada Current Dress (aka the Turtle Dress) by Moulinette Souers on Rosa from Love at First Shop and since it went on sale, I was thrilled to try it on myself. They didn't have my usual 8 so I grabbed a 6 and found it to be too large on top (you can see the fabric drooping, which led to too much cleavage). I didn't ask for a four because I thought the fit would be off on the bottom in a size that small. Sad because the turtle print is adorable and the color is so vibrant!
The
Blurred Boundaries dress by Tabitha was among the only full priced items I tried on at Anthropologie that day. I meant to try on a lot of full price stuff so that I would know my sizes once things hit the sales, but I scooped up so many sale things that I didn't have the energy to bother grabbing much more. This dress stood out to me with its abstract painterly print so I grabbed it on the way. Now if the Turtle dress had too much cleavage, then this one was doubly risqué for a modest but busty lady. Maybe it was my bra but I felt very vavavoom in it. And my lifestyle is rarely vavavoom so I probably won't grab this once it hits the sales. It is pretty expensive at retail so even the sale price will likely be high. This is a size 6 and I would say it ran TTS but quite fitted in the waist (so size up based on that). The fabric's print was gorgeous but I would fear it could snag very easily.
More reviews including the one item I did buy, plus my Outfit of That Day, later.
