Taken to Heart

    Valentine's Day is fast approaching and I've already got my dress for that very special date night.  It's been a while since I've done a dress review, so I thought I'd do a quick one for this Day After Day by Emily and Fin.  Em&Fin have pretty reliable quality and consistent sizing.  That's part of the beauty of only making a handful of styles.  Sadly, my usual size XS was already sold out when I decided to purchase this dress, but after reading a few of the other buyers' reviews claiming the dress ran small in the waist, I decided to size up.  The fit is best described as comfortable.  It doesn't feel like a whole size too big, just a little big.  So, if you're on the fence about which size you need and you're towing the line between sizes, I'd definitely say go up.  If you're on the smaller side of your size, then buy your regular size.  I don't think this dress in a size smaller (my regular size) would have been too tight at all.  
    Other perks to this dress are pockets of course, the cute keyhole back we've all come to adore about the Day After Day series, and the dress is fully lined.  It is an enormous pet peeve of mine when I spend $100 on a dress and it has only one single cheap layer.  One layer is not worth $100.  A word of warning though, I nearly scorched this dress when ironing it and I only had my iron set on Med-High just to get a little steam.  So, be careful or perhaps consider having it professionally cleaned.  Other than that, this is another hit from Em&Fin.
