Leifsdottir Paso Dobble Dress review

In my previous entry, a Leifsdottir dress (called Paso Dobble at Anthropologie) is pictured behind me and I did try it on but didn't include the review. Since then a reader asked about it and because I cannot post photos in my comments section on blogger, I figured I would just make a quick review entry.

This Leifsdottir dress in polka dot silk was so cute on the hanger that I decided to try it.  I loved the graphic mod print and the draping at the neckline. But I ran into the same problem I usually have with Leifsdottir. The hips were too narrow and the hemline was too short. Even the 10 felt too small and slightly scandalous on 5'3" me. Still, this one ran smaller than similar styles from this brand. I typically need a 10 in  Leifsdottir dresses that feature a mini-skirted hemline. I do size up with this line as it is a brand that is cut for narrower hips than mine. This dress was no exception, unlike the Cathedral Garden/Curled Zinnia dress in which I took an 8 comfortably. I don't know if this one was in a broad range of stores or if it just appeared at Bloomingdales. Anyway, I hope this is helpful!
