I've been stalking a certain L.A.M.B. dress for many months now. I finally had the opportunity to try on said dress last weekend and suffered a huge disappointment....now, I tend to always be a size 6/8 although I feel certain stores like Banana Republic, Anthropologie, etc make their sizes a bit generous, so let's play it safe and say size 8.....I am not skinny by any means but a size 8 rarely breaks my heart.....
let's say that this dress felt like I was trying to get into a size 2.....it wouldn't go down past my waist and the arms wouldn't go higher than mid upper arm......I almost had to have someone come in and help me get out of it which would have been mortifying......I know that Gwen Stefani is very fit and works out, but she's not a waif, probably a solid 4/6 and I don't know how she would have gotten into this thing.....maybe it was sized like back in the Marilyn Monroe era when a size 12/14 was a modern day size 6....I don't know but this was hugely disappointing.....just thought I would share my sorrows
