Just a related question, but why aren't we at a point in technology where we could see online how an outfit would look like on our measurements? I truly don't understand. I vaguely remember Lands End doing this a few years back. I wonder why they stopped? |

Someone should totally make that happen. I shop at Torrid a lot, and for some of their clothes (not all) you have the option of seeing it on three different sized models. It helps. |

I had to say I just got the lands end catalog this dress is in. I actually think the dress would look better on a fuller figure than the slim one. I recently bought a piece that was modeled by both a thin and full figured models, it looked better on the full figure.

I appreciate that Old Navy/Banana Republic/Gap are showing some things (not all) on different-sized models, as are J. Crew and Madewell. I move back and forth between straight and plus sizes, and being able to see something on a size 12 or 16 model is helpful. I do wish more plus size places would do like Torrid and show things on a variety of plus sizes. 16, 20, and 24 do not necessarily look the same in the same clothes. |

I agree that this style seems like it would look better on a fuller curvier figure. |

Now that I look at it closer, I’d looks like the waist is close to the natural waistline. And the bodice appears fitted. Did I read upthread that you’re an apple shape? If so I would think this would not be the dress for you. Having it fitted in the wider part of you, and then blooming out over the smaller part of you creates the illusion that you’re large all over.
But maybe you’re being hard on yourself and you’re not really an apple. If you order it, I hope it looks good and you love it.

Even though I don’t wear plus sizes, I gave a curvier body. Seeing something on a model that is super tall and thin doesn’t give me an idea of what it will look like on me. I actually buy more things after seeing them on influencers with more “typical” figures. I love how the item looks on them and then click on the link and the item looks horrible on the model. The clothes are usually more flattering on the influencer. |

As someone 6' tall and XL-1XL, it would really depend on where the layers hit. On top of my boobs or at hips - no. It's too bright for me, but, my sister would be all in!

I vaguely remember Lands End doing this a few years back. I wonder why they stopped? Lands End's models are now electronically generated. If you look at them, you'll notice the same five or six "people" with the same pose like a copy paste situation. I noticed it while looking at swimsuits. Makes me question buying their stuff because I don't know how much photoshopping they did to the item vs how it truly looks. I'm 5'10" and and size 18 hourglass. I don't care about the stripes. The tiered look is what kills it for me. Layers like that never worked on my body. |

those are not horizontal lines, they are vertical lines. vertical lines do not make you look shorter or wider. horizontal lines may. if you can try the dress on judge that way. i think it is a fun dress and if you can pull it off...great! I was referring to the horizontal seams and tiers creating horizontal lines, not the vertical print on the tiers. Maybe you cannot see those on your computer or phone? They negate all benefit of the vertical stripes. In fact, I think those tiers more than negate the vertical because it looks like fat horizontal lines alternating with thin horizontal lines. I avoid horizontal tiers and seams even in solids because they are awful for short, stocky me. Love vertical stripes if they are right, though. I am an 18. Tiered skirts on a dress are fine, especially if you have a belly or hips. |
