I was out shopping at HomeGoods today looking for some home decor and stumbled past this dress that I looked looked cute on the hanger...but they only had a size 12, but I thought "what the hell, try it on"...I thought it looked cute and I bought it...but now I'm thinking I might have been a little heady about the size and it might not be a keeper...asking for honest feedback :-)

OK honestly I think it is a really cute dress. Is it perfect? no, but it is really really REALLY close. I would not tell you to take it back!!! The lines on it are very flattering, the way it curves on your hips and waist is very flattering. I would honestly say you are very close to it being a perfect fit and is something you need to keep in your closet!

Thanks...I think I'll tuck it away and see what it looks like in 10 pounds or so :-)

I think it looks awesome! Definitely a keeper. The way the lines curve at the waist is very flattering, and it hugs you in all the RIGHT places. I think it looks great now, and will look even better later.

Looks good to me, you look like a curvy girl, fits well, keep it, it will look even better later on.

In my honest opinion, the style of the dress is cute on you. But for me I hate stripes so no, I wouldn't wear it. If you like it, rock those stripes!

Throw on a pair of spanx (if you don't have them on now) and it's great! It's a perfect style for your curves. I am spanx obsessed with every dress. Eliminates the bumpies and the chub rub.

Don't take it back. I think it looks good right now but a few more pounds down and you will rock it even more.

Thanks, all!!...considering that I am 40 pounds away from where I would expect to wear a size 12, I'll keep it and hope that in another month I'll rock it!

I think it looks awesome now too!

JensJoy - as a vet (3 yrs July), let me give you a little free advice: don't let yourself fall into the trap of rewarding Future You, it sets you up to feel like what you have accomplished is never good enough, which will lead to the boomerang effect of giving up before you reach goal, because you are never rewarding Present You and so you feel like you aren't accomplishing anything. Trust me, it's a real thing. Don't hide that dress away, wear it now with a spanx bodysuit underneath like Lipstick said. I would also recommend some really bright red flat sandals and a BIG sunhat and sunglasses, for the total glamourpuss look

I absolutely love it and think you look fab.

Yes, it is Calvin Klein...I've seen some of the pics you've posted and can totally see this in your closet!! :-)

I find having goal clothes very inspirational. I have a few items I try on weekly and I Celebrate as they get closer and closer to fitting. I will say, I've wasted a few bucks this way, though. I've had a few pairs of pants that went from tight to weirdly baggy as they weren't the right cut and a dress that hung weird once it fit.

I am extremely goal oriented and competitive so "rewarding future me" is something that works for me. I am not one that gets down on myself and when I am having a blue moment, I shake it off quickly. I no longer reward myself with food, so buying a few pretty things is going to have to do. I do leave the tags on now, though!

It is a great dress and you can wear it. I do think a slip or some kind of support under clothes are in order but who besides 11-14year Olds could wear that style of dress without support wear??
