Classic case of girl falls in love with a dress on the hanger, but isn't so sure once she gets it on. I don't think the Brimming Borders Mini-Dress is as awful as some reviews suggest, but I also don't think it's as flattering as it could be. But I love the dress. Of course, I think love will overcome and maybe, (by adding a belt) the dress will change.
But you can never really change a dress (well, unless you have mad sewing skills or take it to the seamstress) I think I need to learn to let go. Sometimes things just aren't meant to be. No matter how much you want them to work out.
Just like fish in the sea, I know there will be other dresses on the rack....am I right to throw this one back? Should I stay on friendly terms in the event that it gets a second cut and I can find one in my size? Can we work through our issues? Advice?

DON'T YOU DARE send this back. IT looks freaking fabulous on you! If it weren't against-the-law-short on me, I'd be strutting everywhere in it! That dress is beyond gorgeous. The details....sweet goodness, the details. I love it. Looks fantastic on you. Keep! Keep! Keep!!
Keep. It looks great. I really do not see any issues?!?! It looks lovely!
I agree with Molly...I don't think it's a go-back at all! I think without a belt it would FOR SURE be a no-go but the belt makes it work. It's meant to be a little roomy I think...so even if it's a little flowey you can pull it off. Love the cute yellow shoes with it!
What's the problem Jan? I think it's so cute and such a unique dress- my vote is keep it!!
Well, yay! I am so glad you girls think I can commit to always and forever with this dress. I was thinking I looked wide, even with the belt and that maybe
I had too much on top to make the dress fall in a flattering way. But if you all don't see it, then I am turning a blind eye, because the dress really is exquisite!
Molly - you are so right about the details. It is a DREAMY dress. I saw it IRL at full price and didn't even dare try it on because I knew it would be hard to resist.
Thanks girls for weighing in - I truly do love the dress, I was just a little insecure about looking big in it. I will KEEP it :) :) :)
No I disagree I LOVE the dress!!! It is definitely big on you, but it looks really sweet!!!
ps...you could never "look wide" lol
I agree this dress is gorgeous. I love the colors and the print. I agree with Anne: how can you say you look wide when you are so tiny? =))
