Inspired by ExtraPetite work outfit posting, I want to share a few more style I usually have at work.
Noticed this dress from Alterations Needed 's AnnTaylor Petite review . I like the cut of the scoop neck and the ruffle at the bust area, flattering enough but not overwhelmed. When I see this turquoise green color at the store, I knew I just couldn't let it go. :) Well, For dress I usually have to go with regular size. But store never carry sz00 (why is that? ) so this is sz 0. A little baggy at top, a totally different outcome of Ann Taylor's web picture. But a belt always helps and it seems to fit better at our casual and easy work place.
A hot weekend is in front of us again, Stay cool and enjoy!

A lot of ladies seem to be interested in this dress, but I find that it's one of those items that don't look like it's the best quality. on the model it looks fantastic, but in every photo I've seen it on a "real person" (you, AlterationsNeeded, and one of the work outfit entries #14) I think it looks very wrinkle-prone and not like it is worth what it retails for. Not one of my favorite items from Ann Taylor...but that is just my opinion!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean, I agree with you about the wrinkle part. I even thought about mentioning that in the post if I was not in a hurry at work this afternoon. The material is cotton/spandex. The wrinkles are probably due to: 1. I washed it and used dryer machine to try to let it shrink a little and didn't iron it nicely. 2. The picture was taken after sitting in the office for a whole day. It is definitely not a wrinkle resistant material like wool. But I like the comfortable feeling and the color! Yes, this probably the most costly one I bought this summer even with 30% off discount. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI like the color of this dress. It fits loose on you compared to the model, especially on the top. It looks better on you with the small cardi, I think. And I noticed the wrinkles too. That's why I take my pics in the morning. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress! A great look for work.
ReplyDeleteThe dress fits way better on you than it did on me! I liked the green color better than the black too, but by the time I went to order, it was all sold out. Too bad about the wrinkles. I didn't spend too much time in the dress before taking it back to the store to really notice the wrinkle proneness of it.
ReplyDeleteVicky, I only wish I could be like you for one morning! :)
ReplyDeleteAngeline, Welcome to stop by and Thanks for your comments.
Alterations Needed, Thanks for providing so many valuable information from your review and guide. I still think the dress looks better than the picture. Lots of the wrinkles were from the dryer machine. I didn't iron the dress enough in the rush morning. But it's definitely not a wrinkle resistant one. A little better than linen I guess. I probably fit better than you. I still have lots of gaps at the top and waist area, that's why I used a belt, it helps a lot.
I got this dress in black too and still have to do a review on it....
ReplyDeleteYou look great in this color and I'm surprised the fit is so perfect! Wasn't so cute on me!!!
