Size 4 - The tag on this dress said $119.99. I don't know if it rings up for less (in-stores). I didn't like the two-tone look at the waist -- the part that goes up like a series of triangles. I get the paperbag skirt look, but wasn't a fan of how the two different colors looked at the top of that point. Maybe because the print on the skirt isn't well defined. It's like a faded plaid. Check out this dress on Audreybella and on Shopping On the Fly.
Heidi dress in wool flannel (33587) - Size 4 - Comes in black and steel grey. 0-12. Again, not sure if size 14 was available. This dress was also seen in-stores and marked down to $49.99. It's a bit low cut, but not as bad as some of the other dresses. It might be ok w/only a statement necklace. Or a bralette like this one, this one or this one. Check out this dress on Shop With M.
Thanks for stopping by...

You look GREAT in the first dress. It's very slimming, IMO. Accentuate your waist in a flattering way.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Gigi, and thanks for all your reviews this year!
Pansy - I liked the Heidi dress. It was a surprise after not thinking much of it on the website.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a reader!
i was just eyeing that very dress! i got me a gift card that i'm itchin to spend. ;) you look quite smashing - makes me laugh that you have to black-box your cleavage. i would need to draw mine in.
ReplyDeletei'll need to see IRL.
merry christmas!
I second Pansy. That dress has the "slimming voodoo", as Heidi Klum said once on Project Runway. It's a very flattering silhouette even if you don't like the details. When I saw the first black-boxed photo I thought the black was part of the dress. :)
ReplyDeleteI was able to get the black heidi dress in store for $35. I love it and wore it to Christmas Eve Mass. It is a bit low cut, I needed to reinforce the tack (it had been stretched out a bit in the store). For $35 I am extremely happy.
ReplyDeleteKcookski - Congrats on the gift card. How fun! My mom got one for me from Gap. I think she thinks I'm still mad at J Crew. *lol*
ReplyDeleteAnon/7p - The slimming voodoo...I haven't heard that one. *lol*
Anon/8:26p - I'll bet you looked lovely. :-) I didn't think I needed another black dress, but for $35...
Gigi, that's funny you say you didn't think you needed a new black dress. I totally needed one, did not have one at all. And to get one for $35? Unbelieveable. I had the alexei sweater in store too and I liked it but it was the same price as the dress and I couldn't pay the same for a sweater as I was for a dress so I left the sweater behind. It needed to be a smoking deal like the dress!
ReplyDeleteI wore my dress with black tights, black Cole Haan pumps, and my pearls. I felt very DaniBP.
I hope you had a good holiday. I just love your blog, JCA and others who share all this great info. I hope you are blessed in 2011.
