I must have a DVF Wrap Dress - who has one ?

[Mojomummy]

I love wrap dresses & have a very nice one from Wallis. Now I want a DVF one, although am somewhat horrified by the price.

Are they worth it ? do you feel fabulous when you wear it ?

Can I trust an ebay seller ?

Anna888 "Tall, skinny, healthy looking" and such a lovely, self-deprecating personality.

You can get them at bargain prices from Neimann Marcus here. As an example, the Justine dress (leaf print) is £248 here but when you convert the same dress in $ from Neimann Marcus it is £166 which is definitely a bargain. I have a dvf wrap dress and a couple of her wrap tops and adore them, they are so flattering and have been well worth the investment over the years, even as my size has fluctuated!

Suggest you check size and that you like it by ordering from net-a-porter if you cant get to the dvf shop, you can then return it -p&p will cost a lot less than from the US !

brassica-nothing wrong with someone being ok with the way they look is there,or should everyone be loathsome of there body?

Brassica - I fear I think that self-deprecation is about as useful as accommodation of others as a life strategy

Well Mojomummy, inspired by your thread and the replies, I have taken the plunge and bought a dvf dress from net-a-porter. What about you? Come on .... take a deep breath and go for it ....!

ggirl - Nothing at all wrong with acceptance of your body - just perhaps best not to bleat too loudly about your self-satisfaction.

Oh Brassica, why do you think that it is a good thing to be self-effacing?

You know what Cod? I'm not a smug person at all.

However, I read and read and read on MN about women who are unable to stand up for themselves because they have spent so much of their lives being done down by others and hence believe they are worthless, and I do want to show them that it is possible to believe in yourself and stand up for the life and person you want to be

In RL it is impossible to be as frank as on here, and in any case on here one "meets" people that one would never cross in RL...

lol
yeah, next time anna, say 'tall, skinny, healthy looking (but my toes are reet funny looking, cant wear sandals for toffee)'

(i agree btw . dont see why a woman cant say shes tall skinny and healthy looking without everyone else getting their claws out. saucer of milk for table 2 perhaps?? )

I bought one in the January sale 2 years ago, and love it! I was a fair bit heavier then than I am now (actually I got pg soon after, and wore it in the early "bloated" stage) and it's one of the few things that fitted me really well both then and now (a stone lighter than when I bought it).

I actually found that it's quite forgiving of "lumps and bumps", thanks to the patterned material. Also, I love that it's so versatile - works well on its own or over a little vest and jeans!

Oooh cloudberry which one did you buy ? I was trawling the net last night for reasonable priced ones...I think I might get DH to treat me to one for my 40th next year.

In the meantime, I might have to make do with a Boden one...

Mind you, did see a reduced ISSA one, which looked v nice
