Banana Republic: Linen Trapeze Dress, Shibori Patio Dress, Belted Romper

~ Linen Trapeze Dress, White, size 6 ~
I’m always on the lookout for cute, keep-me-cool dresses to wear during the Summer. This dress meets those qualifications. I grabbed the wrong size and would feel more comfortable in a size 8. My only issue with this dress is the hem. I wish it had been the same length all the way around. This also comes in Blooming Red, which looks similar to J Crew’s Modern Red.
  

~ Shibori Patio Dress, size 8 ~
I loved this dress the minute I saw it hanging in the store. I like the fit of the size 8 just fine. Some reviewers say the chest is a little tight and to size up one, which is what I unknowingly did here. This is so much prettier IRL than my pics or the online image show. This is lined and the entire dress is so comfortable.
  
My only issue is one I’m self-conscious about. I have scarring from back acne and feel very self-conscious wearing strapless or a criss-cross back or anything that doesn’t have full back coverage. But the print and Shibori Tie-Dye is so pretty and I think this would look nice with a denim jacket (though not needed in Summer where I live). I know it’s not the same as this dress but I did purchase the Dip-Dye Smocked Skirt.
~ Belted Romper, Black, size 6 ~
I think I’m trying on every romper and jumpsuit I see. Which is actually a good thing because they all fit so differently. This one is 100% Polyester and drapey. I think I look like I’m wearing a Dickies Jumpsuit in this romper. It’s a little too roomy and the belt is useless. It’s not a tie-belt but has a buckle. There weren’t enough holes to use the belt properly. I’d probably trade it out for a Leopard one instead. The size 6 was a good fit and I like the length of the inseam. It’s not completely to my knees but not super short either. 
The Heritage Utility Romper is Cotton with a little Spandex and reminds me of “safari” BR. It’s also not going to drape as much as the Belted Romper.
  
The Linen Trapeze dress is a BRPICKS and excluded from the 40% off promo, BRSUMMER, unless you have their credit card. Then BRPICKS are included in the promo. The Shibori Patio Dress and both rompers are both included in the promo. 
What do you think about the Shibori Patio Dress? Should I get it despite my hesitation?
