Thanks to Jean from Extrapetite.com, I was able to find this tweed dress at the outlet in 00P and I love it! It fits perfectly except I have to take up the hem:)

That dress looks terrific on you! Is there some room in the hips for you still? (looks like it)... I would need a few more inches than you there.

Here's how the same dress in 00P fits on AubreyOhDang (photo attached). She's a little taller so no hemming needed...jealous!

And here is a fitting room pic of the 00P on jetsetmeg: http://jetsetmeg.blogspot.com/2011/01/oohs-ewws-at-outlet.html

After purchasing this dress, I got a customer survey. I filled it out and got a code for 15% off. I have not used it. I would love to pass it onto someone else so that they can get this dress for less.

*You can only use this code once at any BR Factory store, so please reply to this thread if you have used this code.
**I know that you can use this on top of sale or clearance items. Not sure if it's stackable with the AAA discount Jean mentioned in her recent post about this dress. I would ask a SA for further info.
***You MUST print out the coupon. They wont accept it otherwise, even on your phone.

Good luck!

Drzaius- yes there is def some room in the hips area which I'm hoping will look much better once I take up the hem:-)

It looked like it worked on Jean's dress after she tailored it!!

Aubrey- u look amazing in the dress!! So happy u got it!! And wish I had that 15% off before.. Lol

Ooo Aubrey thanks for the coupon! I hope someone will put it to good use : )

And someone asked me whether the 15% student discount at regular BR stores also works at the outlet. I don't think so. While checking out I asked the sales associate about ANY possible discounts, including a student discount, and she said just the AAA.

I posted pics of pre and post-alterations here:

The photo below is with 3 inches hemmed off.

aaw I know. I thought of you when I got this coupon b/c I know you paid full price, but you already got it by then. =(

Jean, how did you get it for 40% off?

Here it is on me in size 00P. I needs to be hemmed and slimmed.



UPDATE!
Adventures in Alterations - Tailoring the Banana Republic tweed dress

Oh Kelly! It's going to look AMAZING on you when it's altered! Are you just taking up the hem? I can't wait to get mine done....

I'm going to get it slimmed too.
