Ughhhh. 😭 I bought the 3 for $280 deal and was sooo excited for my order.
I’ve bought a few House of CB dresses in smalls and I could barely zip either of them. The Giglio especially felt like one wrong move and I’d bust the zipper, so I ended up selling it. Then I bought the Marianella in a small, and i barely was able to zip, wayyyy too tight in the chest, and gave me major back fat so returned that 😂

So I figured maybe I actually needed mediums, even though I’m normally a US size 2 in pretty much everything else (which technically should put me in an XS, except I tried an XS once and literally could not squeeze into it).

I ordered all mediums during the sale… and every single one is wayyyy too big. 😭 I’m especially shocked by the Giglio because I previously owned it in a small, and I swear it felt like it was about to split open. The medium, though, feels drastically bigger it honestly looks about two sizes too big on me which is odd since the small looked a size too small on me

Has anyone else just not been able to find a house of cb dress that fits right?! So sad I can’t return or exchange hopefully I can sell them .

Hi! I’m hoping someone can give me some real-world sizing advice on the Marianella and Melita dresses.

The only House of CB dress I own is the Amara in a Small. Once it was zipped, it fit great, but getting it zipped was a struggle 😅. For reference, I usually wear a US 2–4.

I originally ordered the Dionne in an XS based on the size chart, but it was wayyyy too small. They were out of the Small, so I ended up getting the Amara instead.

Now I’m looking at the Marianella and possibly the Melita, and based on some of the reviews and measurements I’m wondering if I should size up to a Medium. Has anyone tried either of these dresses? Do they run similarly to the Amara, or are they more restrictive in the waist/ribcage area?

Any sizing advice would be appreciated
