Keep or Return: Delia's Bow dress + new puffer vest

I had been eyeing this dress on the Delia's website for a few months now, and finally decided to order it when I got my hands on a decent promo code. The style is definitely something out of the ordinary from my love of classic sheath dresses, but I for some reason, I loved it! Here's the model pictures first:


Now here it is in real life!

Definitely not what it looks like on the model. What do you all think? Should I return or try to make it work? I only plan to wear this dress for parties and fancier occasions!

I also got this new puffer vest from Delia's as well, which doesn't compare to my original American Eagle one from my previous post. Please excuse the clashing outfit! :)

See it compared to my American Eagle puffer vest in size small. There is a huge size difference.

The Delia's vest is definitely bigger and boxier, while the AE vest is more shapely. I will still keep it though, because I think the bigger size will allow me to layer it comfortably over jackets and thicker sweaters, which is something I can't do with my AE vest.

Should I keep or return the dress?

Enjoy the rest of the week, everyone! :)

  1. I say if you don't love the dress, return it. I've learned long ago that clothes that you don't love, never get worn.

  2. Is that dress smallest size? Looks big on you. If you could go smaller size, I recommend you to try again. No matter what, I agree that is beautiful dress!

    I'm definitely leaning towards a return! You are right... if you don't love it, you'll never wear it! :)

    Yes! That's the smallest size available. I'd much rather go for an XS, but it's not offered. It looks huge on me! Delias seems to fit bigger than other brands, which I'm disappointed with. I will probably just return it.
