Not looking for anything in particular, I grabbed a few skirts and dresses to try on during my trip to Anthropologie.
~ Astin Wrap Skirt, Small, Blue, Bailey 44 ~
I could have fit into a Medium in this skirt but I like the snug, shapely fit of the Small. Bailey 44 always does a good bodycon dress and skirt and this is no exception. There’s a piece of vegan leather at the front wrap. The top portion of the wrap is sown to the main part of the skirt preventing it from flying open during a windy day.
~ Garden Glimmer Skirt, size 8, HD in Paris ~
I liked the green of this skirt and the gold shimmery squares make is nice for a Holiday party or Christmas dinner. The size 8 fit well and hit just above my knee. It could be a little shorter on some taller ladies.
~ Pieced Suede Skirt, size 8, Leifsdottir ~
I loved the blue of this suede skirt. Leifsdottir always makes some nice pieces. There’s a shorter piece of the skirt that hits above the knee with a split longer piece hitting midi length on me. There are two buckles on the right side but this actually zips up the back. The 8 was a nice fit with just a touch of room.
~ Larkin Dress, size 8, Moulinette Soeurs ~
This was a dress that was in the Fashion show and I just happened upon it afterwards. I quite loved it on and was surprised it wasn’t made by Bailey 44 but Moulinette Soeurs. The middle piece is very flattering in creating a waist and I didn’t notice the lace panels at the arms until I turned to the side. You’ll probably need a black bra with this to match the lace.
~ Novelette Dress, size 8, Moulinette Soeurs ~
Another pretty Moulinette Soeurs dress for a party I only imagine. The size 8 was a little off as the part where the sheer met the bodice was a little low. This is also a pull-over dress as there’s an open diamond back with a button on the top and a side zip. The embroidered bird motif is really nice. Since there is a sheer panel at the bottom the midi-length works for me.
Overall, these were a pass for me, even though the dresses were 25% off at the time. I did add the Larkin Dress to my wishlist though I’m not sure where I’d wear it.
Have you tried any of these items?
Thanks for the reviews, Audrey! Love the garden glimmer skirt 🙂
I love the look of the suede skirt. May have to try that one! Thanks for the tryons!
