That seems a little intense. Some people can pull it off in bigger sizes. Not like plus sizes. But bigger than a 4.

And the only thing that has ever looked cute in a romper is a two year old!

Perhaps it is intense. (Please note: I do not wear shorts...ever. I stopped at 24ish.) I have seen far too many women with varicose veins. muffin tops, rolls etc. Perhaps I should have said: Use a mirror...three way. Bubbles, lumps etc. don't.

But also note: I live in an area where an 8 is fat for a young woman. It isn't good and not healthy. It is what it is.....So, I apologize if I offended anyone.

Even that is quite generous. Whats the joke on the Row? "Different colored dresses counts as diversity right?" :-P

There's also the whole proportion thing...women over 5'9" or so are going to look just fine in a size 8. Of course, it depends on the store...an Old Navy size 8 is like a 12 or 14 anywhere else.
