[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this up to talk about dresses from Anthropologie. I got the somerset dress based on a recommendation from here (https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/the-somerset-maxi-dress2?category=dresses-maxi-midi&color=012&type=STANDARD&quantity=1) and I was obsessed enough to get another in a different print. I have been showered with compliments so far every time I’ve worn it. I also just got the Katerina dress and am about to go for a second in another color (https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/the-katerina-button-front-dress5?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=012&searchparams=q%3Dkaterina&type=STANDARD&quantity=1). I have been ignoring Anthropologie all these years and now I don’t know why!

Only complaint is the weird way they model the maxi dresses - every one seems to feature one pic of the model pulling the dress up to show her leg. Lmao. [/quote]

where do you live that you are showered with compliments for wearing the Somerset dress?  I feel like everyone knows that dress, owns that dress and is bored of that dress.  I don't mean to come off as snarky but I'm not sure it's generated a compliment in my circle for 2 years.  I feel like I can't even wear it as it's so overdone.   :cry:  (I wish i could).

This is extremely harsh but I will admit that today I was out to lunch with my husband and woman walked by wearing the Somerset dress in a floral print and I immediately clocked it as *that* dress and made a note to myself that I won't buy it because it's too recognizable.

I do think it's a cute dress and checks a ton of boxes for me (covered up enough for easy sun protection, lightweight and comfy in super hot and humid weather, cute neckline, fun prints) but I just don't like wearing something that everyone has. That's not a knock on people who have it and wear it, just an acknowledgement that it's become ubiquitous at this point and therefore I'm mentally moving on. If it were a less recognizable style (maybe a sportier style without the tiers and the puff sleeves) I don't think this would happen. But it has too many very recognizable details.[/quote]
