I received this dress today. It is getting mixed reaction at my house. What do you think?it would be a work dress. Tried it on with new wedges.
As always thank-you for looking!

Not loving it, Debbie. At least in the picture, it seems to be pretty clingy. I think you can do much better.

That is kind of what I thought.

I didn't think it looked that bad until I took the picture. Thanks for validating what I thought. My girls thought I should keep it.

I think the color looks great on you. However, I think the dress doesn't make you look a fab as you are.

I agree. Great color but it's not really doing your figure any favors.

Nope. I would look like this as well - it's not you, it's the dress!

For some reason I can't blow up this picture, but from what I see, the fit looks off, it doesn't look like it's hanging smoothly the way it should.

From the photo the fit seems too clingy, but it may be the lighting. If you think it's just the photo, maybe you could try more photos in different light. The new wedges look like winners.

That color is fabulous, but the dress...it doesn't get you.

The wedges look good! Are you keeping?

I don't love the fit either, maybe if it was loser on bottom. Or is it the angle of the photo?

Thank-you everyone. Dress goes back.
AJ the wedges are staying! They are comfortable and the height is manageable for me.

Oh yes keep the wedge heels:) The dress just isn't good enough for you. You should look for something else in that colour though as it's lovely on you.

Good call on the dress, and I like the sandals!

Is the dress lined? you can always try it with an under dress, or kind of petticoat, usually that smoots things out and take much of the clingyness away. Love the color, and the current/TRENDY cut, and it has sleeves!

I'd kind of like to see it from different angles... it could just be the way the lighting is adding shadows.

That being said, someone else recently found that dress to be thin and clingy. I remember Angie noting the patterned ones might be a more substantial fabric, as she hadn't noticed that.

The colour is amazing on you. And love the shoes!

I actually quite like this on you, from what I can see. I've noticed from other k/r on this dress that it seems to photograph kind of oddly. I wouldn't count it out yet. If others think it looks good in person, I'd give that more weight.

I think that style of dress is just hard to pull off - even on the model I'm not sure it's doing her any favors. Love the new wedges! And the color of the dress is really nice on you.

I love the color of the dress and the wedges. I can't quite decide bout the dress fir, maybe you could post a few more photos from different angles?

I tried this dress too and it was awful on me. It looks much better on you but I don't love it, though I do like the color.

It's a little tight on the mid-section, but I do love you in those flutter sleeves. Return the dress but do add a flutter sleeve item to your wardrobe, Debbie. Good look on you.
