Since I was in the GAP trying on the camo pants I decided to try on the infamous striped dress. There were a bunch of different dresses to choose from and I ended up buying one!
I took Blonde's recommendation since we're nearly the same size and tried on the Medium first. At first I liked it then realized it was a little too big on me.
Then I tried the Small, which was a little too clingy (i.e. showed off my muffin top a little too much) on me...
I loved the fabric but this dress just didn't fit me well.
I decided to try another dress in a similar style in a medium (only apparent difference is the zipper on the shoulder instead of on the back) just in case it was different.
I think this dress totally worked on me so I bought it! It was $43 so its a lot more than the ON dress (which I will be returning - Renata's running color post scared me!) but I think its still a good deal. The fabric is great and I can see this working for a few years. I will probably wear it with ballet flats or boots, add a bubble necklace or scarf and/or a cardigan/ jacket

I like it and the more I see it, the more I want it. I have a blazer made out of the same fabric that I love. I may just have to pull the trigger to try it. I can get the striped camo top with it for free shipping. It will go lovely with all the camo in my wardrobe.
I think it looks good on you! The small looks great on you, but I understand not being comfortable if it highlights the wrong area. I ordered the charcoal/navy yesterday- I can't wait for it to come! I just hope it fits.

Also just ordered this in the charcoal/navy version to sport with a teal leather jacket or an oxblood one and gray tights with brown or cognac boots. I can't wait and hope it works.
