Anthropologie Monochromatic Corset Dress

I scooped up this Corey Lynn Calter dress on sale at Anthropologie and can't wait for spring so I can wear it and show off the corset back. I've been thinking about trying to winterize it with a black cardigan and tights, but I'm really not sure if it will work. Regardless, the dress is very va-va-voom, especially with the corset and the flatteringly short skirt length. Plus, it has pockets!

    I'm pretty sure my anthro did not have that when we went. but ours is so tiny, there is always so much more fun stuff at the bigger ones!

  3. I have loved that dress since the first time I saw it, but I read some reviews on anthro about there being sizing issues. Most of them said to size up 1 or 2 sizes. Did you find that to be the case? I am thinking about trying to snag it off ebay and just want to be careful. Thanks.

  4. Hi Rachel! I found the dress to run fairly true to size, though it is a bit snug up top. I'd advise getting the size that would work with your chest size, since the skirt is a fuller a-line that will accommodate most any hips. If it helps, I wore the same size in this dress as I do in Nanette Lepore dresses and J.Crew dresses.
