Here is Floreat's Manor Gates Dress. I have really wanted to try this dress on since I saw it in the July catalog, but it's been sold out. It just went on sale a couple weeks ago and there was one left at my local Anthro in my size. I'm SOOO glad I got to try this on. It fits TTS. I'm wearing a size 2. The material is so soft. The colors are so beautiful and the length hits me just at my knee. One of my favorite Anthro dresses ever!
This dress comes in a Blue Motif.
I grabbed this baby up!

Here is Parameter's D'armee Dress. I have been looking forward to trying this dress on as well. This dress is TTS. I'm wearing an XS. I like this dress because it's long sleeve, and I don't have anything like this in my closet. I could definitely see wearing this with some tights and boots. It zips up in the front so it is very easy to get on and off. The length is great as well. It hits just at my knee.
This dress comes in Khaki (which is actually an olive green).
In the second photo, I am wearing the British Poise Cincher which you can BUY HERE.
Wishlisted.
Parameter D'armee Dress | Style# 19113265 | Khaki | XS | $138 | BUY HERE
Pros: Soft material, zippered front, length, long sleeve, color, comfortable
Cons: None

Full price or sale?: Sale
Here is another Moulinette and Soeurs Dress. This dress is way too big. This is a size 2 and it's swallowing me alive. I didn't get a chance to try on the 0, but I think it would still be too big. I like the idea of the dress. I felt like I was going on a safari or something. The belt is really long and you guessed it, you have to button 2 sets of buttons to get this off and on. It was a pain. The length was good, as it hit the middle of my knee.
This dress comes in Khaki.
Back to the rack.
Moulinette and Soeurs Double-Breasted Shirtdress | Style# 19406404 | Khaki | 2 | $128 | BUY HERE

Here is Maeve's Southward Shop Shirtdress. I've been really wanting to try this dress on as well. This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing a size 2. I have nothing negative to say about this dress.

Here is Fleur Wood's Discovered Lace Dress. I have seen this on some bloggers and was looking forward to trying it on. This dress runs a little big. This is a size 2 and was the last one in the store. I really love the color and the lace detailing. If I find this in a 0 and it's a bit tighter on me, I will most likely purchase it. The length is a little high as it hits me above my knees, but it's still a great length for the dress. If you prefer something that shows of your curves, this isn't the dress for you as it lays straight.
This dress comes in Dark Grey.
Wishlisted, hoping to find a size 0 to try on.

Verdict: B+
Full price or sale?: Depends on how the size 0 fits me.
Here is Maeve's Time Gone By Dress. This dress fits TTS. I'm wearing a size 2. I really love the color and contrast of the black in the dress. I also love the ruffled bottom. I actually did some twirls in the dressing room! The belt is the perfect length; I just slightly tucked it in so it wouldn't stick out. The length is good as it hits just at the top of my knees.
This dress comes in Light Grey (which has a slight pink tone to it).
Definitely wishlisted.
Urban Outfitters has a similar dress HERE.

I love all of the colors and metallic shine on the bottom. The top is not as sheer as you would think, just a little. The length is good as it hits me just at the bottom of my knees. I think this would look gorgeous broken up with a belt.

I love the materials used and the high waistline. The length is on the longer side, as it hits below my knee. Another one of my favorite Anthro dresses!

Here is Maeve's Awaiting Wings Dress. This dress fits pretty TTS. I'm wearing a size 2. The bottom was a little big, so I need to try on the size 0 to see if there's a difference. If you are between sizes, I would try both sizes on to see which one fits better. I like the colors, ruffles and detailing on the top. The length is good as it hits me just at the knee. The bottom of the dress is a little plain, but could be dressed up with a belt.

Here is Moth's Hellebore Sweater Skirt. This skirt runs big. I am wearing an XS and it is just too big on me. I really love the color, the vintage detailing and the length, but it's just not working for me. The skirt is not lined and the material seems a little flimsy.
This skirt comes in Yellow.

Here is Moth's Flowing Cables Sweater Skirt. This skirt is HUGE. I am wearing an XS. Smaller women will be sized out in this. I really love the length, the sweater material and pattern, but this is just way too big. I felt like it was going to fall off. I would size down as much as possible since there is no zipper, it's slip on, and it's so stretchy.
This skirt comes in Taupe and Blue.
A definite pass for me.

Here is Field Flower by Wendy Reed's First Pick Cardi. I have loved this cardigan ever since I saw it in the November catalog. It fits TTS. I'm wearing an XS here, but would size up to a S. The length it a bit short; it hits just at the top of my hips, but I think sizing up with add a little more length (I hope). I think there is a lot going on with all the detailing, but I don't think I will ever find a cardigan like this again. It's definitely one of a kind. I love the soft pink, feminine color.
This sweater comes in Pink.
Wishlisted.

I love it when you review Anthro. The Refined Cord and Vapor Rise dress are my picks. Do you think you could review some boots?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the reviews. I have tried on most of those clothes, and nothing looks awful on you - it's great to see what something looks like in real life. I think it's great to try on so many clothes...because you don't want something that just fits, you want a great color, and it has to have that "it" feeling haha. Also, thank you for finding the Painted Night Skirt that I requested. I just got it in size 4 (sale!). :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhich boots would you like me to review? Have any caught your eye?
I really wish my Anthro had shoes in their store! I usually just buy the shoes/boots online and if they don't work, I just return them. I am going to be going to the San Francisco Anthro, which I believe carries shoes, for my Birthday in the beginning of December, so I can review shoes then too!
Oh, wow, you did try so many things. Thank you for doing this. It's always great to see things on someone else. Of course, everything looks so good on you!
ReplyDeleteI did get the Refined Cord shirtdress in red myself and I love it. I hightly recommend it. I also got the D'armee, couldn't wait for sale :( But I already wore it twice, so it seems it was a good choice.
I follow your blog through blogloving and I always look forward to your reviews.
Mary
I love your reviews. How many items do they let you take in at once as some pics seem to have an entire store behind you in the fitting room?!
ReplyDeleteThe red refined cord shirtdress is just stunning against your hair and complexion. I hope you get that one if nothing else.
Wow - reviews! Tons of them, and so much that I wanted to see! Thank you! Glad you scored the Manor Gates dress - it's beautiful. I LOVE the Vapor Rise dress on you - killer and professional all at once. The Refined Cord dress and the Southward Stop are gorgeous, I'd order in a second, but I fear what always seems to happen to me with Anthro's shirt dresses - too high waists. I've never had any luck having a dress end at my real waist (thinking of you, Two-Wheeler). Same with the Au Fait Sweater....
ReplyDeleteI love your reviews! Everything looked great on you! I loved the Southward and Refined Cord dresses the best. I hope you got those.
ReplyDeleteWow! You went all out. I love the third outfit especially! Anthropologie makes such wonderful clothes - love your selections!
ReplyDeleteI really love your reviews. You do an EXCELLENT job. Hands down the best! You look great. Keep up the fantastic reviews!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE your reviews. I'm putting your blog on my top list of anthro reviews. Thank you for doing such an excellent job. You look so gorgeous in all the outfits too. On the Maeve's Southward Shop Shirtdress. you can also buy it on Ebay. I bought mine from there even before it came out online. Pretty good price too, less then half. :0)
your reviews are by far the best of all Anthropologie-related blogs I read. Thank you so much for the links! Keep up the amazing job, it`s truly spectacular!! :)
ReplyDeleteps. Do you think you could review the All Along Knit Jacket by Cartonnier?
The Refined Cord Dress looks perfect on you, especially in that shade of red. It's gorgeous with your coloring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reviewing the Flowing Cables Skirt, it's good to know it's such an odd fit. It's probably a good thing my wishlist is one item smaller now.
Thanks everyone! If there's something that you want me to add to my reviews, let me know! You all have made my day! :)
ReplyDeleteI will review the All Along Knit Jacket next time I go into Anthro, which most likely will be next week.
ReplyDeleteThe Manor Gates looks awesome on you. I tried one on in my size last week but it didn't look special on me, so I bought the Pittore Dress instead. You're giving me second thoughts now!
ReplyDeletehow in the world did you still find a Southward Stop dress in stock? I love it! Great reviews - thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks LC! I just ordered the Pittore Dress and well. I reviewed it awhile back and fell it love! You should give the Manor Gates dress another try. It's stunning!
ReplyDeletePeggy, Thanks! My local Anthro had a ton of these in stock, which they had been sold out for awhile now. I'm not sure if this means that online will get more too! Hope so because the dress in beautiful.
Hi, I LOVE the Floreat's Manor Gates Dress, but I got size 0 (convinced by the sales lady) and never got to actually wear it - too tight.
ReplyDeleteI'm so bummed.
I wonder if you by any chance want to sell yours (you've mentioned you wear size 2) if you still have it. e-mail me at sa_sourire on yahoo if you do. Thanks! Dinah
