[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you like the Somerset dress, consider one of the colors of this J Crew dress (just ordered myself):

I really like this dress but wonder if it only looks good with high heels like the model is wearing. What other shoes would you wear with this? I’m 5’6”, 49. [/quote]

I'm the same height and age as you, and I ordered this in a 10. It's...a lot of fabric on me. It almost has a bustle in the back due to the cinching in the waistband (my butt is pretty normal sized - maybe you need a flat butt to pull this off). I really want to keep it, but I kind of feel like it looks ridiculous on someone my height and weight.  I haven't sent it back yet, because I really want it to work, but I think it's destined for a return. [/quote]

The key to this dress is to order down. Depending on the cut of a dress I am normally an 8 or 10. I ordered this in a 6 online so was just guessing from the reviews. Some of the reviewers said it made a big difference in finding the right size to go into the store and try, particularly if they were bustier. Had I gone to the store, I would also have tried on a 4[/quote]
