[quote=Anonymous][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]

I’m not sure whether to be jealous of how observant and tuned in to details y’all are, or if it’s better that I’m fairly clueless, lol.  Isn’t that style in general popular? I had no idea everyone was wearing a specific Anthro dress.  As I get under I’m finding it harder to find flattering yet comfortable dresses, swimsuits, etc. so popularity is low on my list of excluding criteria.  Probably the only garment item I have that reaction to is the Summersalt side stroke suit in the color block, but even then if it worked for me I wouldn’t let it stop me.[/quote]
