Giveaway: Designer BB Dakota dress

In fact, I have this sweet frock and wore it during BlogHer and received many compliments. I especially love how the skirt poofs out. Here I am in the dress at the BowlHer party:

    This dress is so versatile. You could dress it up or down. I'd probably wear it to a wedding or out on the town.

    I'd probably wear it to the company Christmas party, probably with a pair of glittery blue high heels and a fun scarf. It'd make a heck of an impression and when asked why I was wearing it, I could just say because if Tara wore it, it must be really good fashion! :)

    Ok, so maybe I wouldn't wear it all that much. But the heels? You bet, baby.

    Sigh, missed it by hours! And it looks so cute on you.

    Oh well. Could I ask you anyway how the sizing on these dresses runs, since you have one yourself? I've seen reviews saying "true to size" and "small," but with vanity sizing and juniors sizing causing sizes to be all over the map between brands, it's impossible to know what that means.

    ReplyDelete
  68. TaraMetBlogAugust 7, 2009 at 1:47 AM

    Tracy, It was pretty true to size, I could have even gone a little smaller, but then it might have been tighter in other areas. I followed the chest size measurements to pick a size.
