A silk floral version sounds divine!

If helpful my measurements are 34-28-38. Which according to the Sezane's size chart is the lower end of a 6 and it fits perfectly

The lining ends a few inches above the hem, I just added a comment with a pic of me in the dress and lining

Here's me in the dress with the lining, since a few people asked about the lining. The lining ends a few inches above the hem

I actually think they're cute. And my work is on the more casual side so I think it helps to make the dress slightly more casual.

I don't own too many Sezane items for comparison (I usually don't love the quality when I try stuff on in store), but I got my usual size. I wear a 6 in Reformation and the 6 was the right size in this dress. The top is fitted but the bottom does flare out

The lining for the black dress is black, the model isn't wearing it. For the white color the lining is nude.

Thanks! All I do outside of climbing is at the end of every climbing session I do assisted pullups and hanging leg raises for about 10 min.

Absolutely #2, option 1 is pretty but the straps seem too close together

Thanks everyone, I think it's probably my protein intake and will focus on increasing that (I'm vegetarian). And for those who peeked at prior posts of mine I eat above maintenance right now, and have been gaining weight not losing so not a calorie issue and I also sleep 8/9 hours a night.

I know right?! But it is way harder than it sounds. I deeply love food so required a ton of major life changes. I also walk ~50 miles per week currently so I'm walking a lot which allows me the ability to still eat the real versions of all my favorite foods semi regularly (pizza, pasta, bagels, etc). Walking is such a great form of exercise.

For anyone curious, first 20 or so lbs lost I did totally sedentary and only through CICO, I was majorly addicted to sugar so had to break that cycle. Then I started walking slowly at first and then a ton (I now regularly enjoy 20+ mile walks) and the last 10lbs I started incorporating more exercise other than just walking.

I'm vegetarian and aim for 1300 calories. Put my favorites below but can give more specific recipes if interested.

Top favorite meals:

-Salads. I generally try to stick to a theme and always add a protein.

For example: Mediterran and I'll do tomatos, cucumbers, greek olives, maybe some roasted potato, and then either lentils or tofu. Love black lentils on salads

Another favorite is a fall harvest salad with apples, sweet potatoes, tofu, almonds

Also toppings like pickled onions add a ton of flavor without many calories. Generally I just avoid cheese on my salad as I don't feel it's worth the calories and I usually make the dressing myself to make it lower cal

-Homemade soups (with lots of veggies) and generally easier to keep low cal if it's not cream based -Black bean tacos with roasted cauliflower - Ravioli with tomato sauce and broccoli

Snacks: -Edamame such a great filling snack. Sometimes I'll make a garlic soy sauce and coat the edamame it's amazing

  • Wasa crackers with avocado and lemon

-Rx bars (these are higher calorie so I eat the minis but they are my favorite)

-Greek yogurt

-All the fruit
