Wearing:
Theory 'Shaylee - Regional' Dress . Size 0.
Is it just me or did Nordstrom photoshop the dress to be longer? The last time I checked, I remember the dress being super short. Even the reviewer who is 5'8" said that the dress is much longer on her than on the model.
See
model from theory.com wear the same dress. It's super short and fitter on her!
I did have this dress altered. Sorry I don't have before pics. From what I remembered I had about 1/2" from the sides take in (from armpit down to the waist area). From hips and below, I had at least an inch from each side taken in. This is from memory, so don't take my word for it. LoL. When I tried on this dress, I had no intentions of buying it. Long story short, I gave into peer pressure. I'm not very good about saying no.
My thoughts: Even after alterations, I don't love the dress. I think skirt part of the dress can be taken in a little more. For a dress that costs $315 + $25 alterations + 9.75% tax , it should look amazing. I think for the steep price, the dress is a little lackluster.
Nine West Ambitious Pumps. 5.5. Fits true to size.
