Dress: Banana Republic Erin Textured Sheath Dress– size 00P (buy here or similar here)
SIZE/FIT: 00P- The reviews online were not so great regarding the sizing so I was a little worried. But luckily, the fit is quite decent. Not perfect but I do love how the top portion fits on me. The armholes aren’t too big and it hugs me perfectly. The bottom portion is a bit big but you have to expect that with a tulip style. I don’t mind it but it could definitely be more fitted. The best part is, the length needs no alterations! Woo hoo! Here are the measurements:
COLOR: One of the biggest reasons why I loved this dress so much was the gorgeous dutch blue color. I have nothing like it so I wanted to add this color to my dress collection. It’s even prettier in person. I can see myself wearing it with tights and dark colors for winter and a light colored cardi and pumps for the Spring and Summer.
I was able to call and get a one time courtesy price adjustment so I ended up getting the dress for around $77. It never hurts to ask! They normally do not do price adjustments if you already received a promotion on your order. I got lucky because there is a 30% off promo going on which was the same discount percentage (Friends and Family promo) from when I ordered the dress so I sweet talked myself into them making an exception. It makes the price much easier to swallow. I paid much more for my BR Factory tweed dress! A bit on the expensive side but I know I will definitely get a lot of wear out of it.
What are your thoughts on this dress? I would love some feedback. Sometimes I get over zealous when it comes to sheath dresses so please give me your input:)
