Finally Got My Babergh Dress!:)

Hey girls, I am just ecstatic right now, because after 10 days of not so patiently waiting, I FINALLY got my Anthropologie Babergh Dress in the mail! I had it delivered to my work address, so I practically knocked over colleagues as I ran to the ladies room to try this on. I couldn't really gauge how well this fit until I got myself home in front of a full length mirror, though.

For sizing reference, I ordered the 2, which was a bit roomy on top (I'm super narrow up there, though), yet tailored to fit through the hips. I was worried with my curvy booty that I would have to take baby steps just to walk in this, but never fear, folks, there's plenty of room to move about the world very comfortably in this garment.

I am SO in love with this dress! I think the details are just gorgeous! The top is comprised of such a rich, beautiful, silky cream fabric with floral details etched in. The skirt portion, while definitely an unusual fabric, is amazing and different than anything I currently own. I don't even mind the flower attachments along the shoulder. I may be one of the few bloggers who doesn't plan to snip them off.

Overall, I am super happy with my purchase and think that many of you ladies will simply adore this dress. Get to your local store soon, though, as it's selling out REALLY fast, particularly in the small sizes.









Have a wonderful evening!

  1. It looks fabulous Chrissy! I plan to order mine Friday. Maybe I will reconsidering snipping the flowers off. I'm large on top and narrow on the bottom. Hope it works for me as well as it does for you. Lucky Girl!

    Happy Day, Laura

  2. Thanks so much!:) I truly don't mind the flowers. I can see how they can seem a bit "much" for the dress, but I like them and feel that they add a nice little twist to the dress.

  8. I love it on you! Mine is coming today and I'm so excited. I had to make a couple of returns to afford it, but it'll be worth it, I think. This is definitely one of the loveliest dresses Anthro has put out in a while.

  14. Looks great!! Question - would you wear a cardigan with it at work? And what color do you think works best with it.

    I've looked around and it doesnt' seem like many people have styled it yet (not that it needs it!)

  15. Yes, since I work in a conservative environment, I will definitely pair this with a cardigan for work. The ivory Roaming Frills Cardigan from Anthro is perfect with this! It's on sale for $49.99 now.
