Dulce Stretch Cotton Dress

I love the dress. I came to put it on and the theft tag is still attached to the dress.

This was a great find at this year's Anniversary Sale. The fabric print is beautiful and there is stretch to it, which is a bonus. VB is often designed for tall gals, so I have a hard time finding pieces that fit my 5'4" frame. This dress fits very well and is not too long, which is usually the issue. I wore to work last week with a short denim jacket and got several compliments. In the fall, I can easily throw a black jacket or sweater over it and wear a pair of tall boots.

Very unappealing in person

This dress works well for me—the dark moody pattern, cap sleeves, and fit and flare midi are right up my alley. Definitely size up—I went with a a size 8 instead of my typical 6, and the waist is still quite fitted on me. Also, the color is true black—which is fine with me—but I expected to be more of a soft black based on the photo.

I am usually an 8 in VB pants (curvy hips/thighs) but this gorgeous dress in a 6 was forgiving.

Usually wear a 0 in VB, but found the dress turned really snug, especially in the bust area. Not sure if it’s cute enough to keep an eye out for a larger size, but the one I have is definitely going back.
