I‘ve had my eye on this dress for a while and either couldn’t find a size 0, or was in too much of a hurry to try it on.

When in doubt, I like to buy now and decide later, so here is the DVF Francia dress in size 0: Diane von Furstenberg Francia Dress, size 0 (same style here) The dress runs pretty small.

Go figure, since the stretchy fabric garments are cut smaller right? Look for things that say “stretch”, and there’s a chance it’ll fit. Pants: Just like with the jackets, the P00 pants that have the word “stretch” so…
