Any other gals get this dress and feel a little more snug in it than other Nettis? I've got (or worn, roomie has one) the Netti in Lime Polkadot, Cowboy, and Squirrel, all XL, and all fit great - even a bit roomy. I got the Tiki in XL, and holy cats is it tight! I noticed just now in the sizing chart it says to order up if you're in between sizes, and that doesn't appear on the other Netti sizing charts. I'm at the upper end of XL, but thought I'd be okay since all my other Nettis are fine.

I also noticed that it's shorter than other Nettis! That is reflected in the size chart, but I since I've got three others of the same dress in the same size, I confess that I didn't think it would be necessary to double check the size chart to make sure it's the same again. :-(

It's still cute and I'm keeping it, of course, just wishing I'd rocked some leggings before throwing it on and wearing it to work today!

I'm also now wondering if maybe I have a mis-tagged Large... from what I can measure while it's on me (which is not precise, granted) it's got a 22" skirt, which is the length for the Large... hmm. 

I found that my squirrel Nettie was a little roomier/had more stretch than the Tiki print one, especially in the bust. They are both in large and both fit me, but the Tiki print material is a bit stiffer and I think this is the cause of the difference in snugness....perhaps it will loosen a tid with wear and dry clean? I know this is a late reply, but just saw your post :)

yep.

it's not you. it's the fabric. I was told the cotton sateen in black is somehow dyed differently and thus it runs sort of tighter/smaller/not as much give.

it will however loosen up with repeated wear. :)

Thanks for the feedback, ladies - I've worn it a few more times and each time it's more comfortable. Good to keep in mind about the darker colors of sateen!

I’ve never been one for swing dresses. I’ve always felt either too dowdy or too much like a pretty princess 5 year old when trying them on.   Then I fell in love with the Atomic print on the…Continue
