I’m glad you found some takeaways from this post, Ebony. You bet I’ve already dreamed of other outfits for this kimono. I definitely want to do something reminiscent of Pretty in Pink (which was originally what inspired me to pick this piece!).

That is an awesome tip! Yesss, so many times I’ve been swayed to buy things because I saw it on a blogger in my size range. It’s so helpful to see other body types in the wild modeling pretty clothes!

I definitely agree with your tip of knowing your measurements. There have been plenty of times when looking at the size charts have saved me from being the wrong size.

A strategy that I use is to search for pictures of the item being worn by ladies who are around my height and shape. That way it gives me an idea of how it would fall on my body.
