anthropologie mompos dress fitting review and styling options

well better late than never no?

the mompos dress by tracy reese arrived at my local store last week (a total relief that i didn't have to spend for shipping!) i tried on both the 6 and the 8 (usually i am an 8 or medium in tracy reese dresses) and felt like the 8 was the best fit. i could zip the 6 up, but it was just a little too tight for comfort, so i would recommend going with your usual size in tracy reese.

  1. Thanks for the review. This dress is giving me fits, I just keep wavering between two sizes and second guessing myself. I think I'm going to have to exchange the size. Looks fab on you though!
