Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

new dress, does it work?

I bought this recently and wondered if I should keep?
I also wondered if it worked with patterned tights and these boots? I will want to layer it in the winter with possibly a turtleneck. I want to be able to dress it up or make it more casual for my lifestyle.
Would appreciate any feedback-THANK YOU!!!

All the textures play together beautifully. I can picture it with a turtleneck for winter. Nice find!

The picture's not too clear but from what i can see it looks good and i love th patterned tights x

Does the dress curl up in the front, or is that by accident?

Angie, do you mean at the bottom, the slit? I am not sure but I do not see where it curls in the picture, do you mean the sleeves?

it doesn't look like it curls up -- more a tulip style cut with a slit? either way, it looks like it would be very versatile, and i love the textured tights and boots! i'd think solid tights in a rich, saturated fall color -- like a deep teal or plum -- would look lovely as well.

It looks great on you! I'd say keep. Gorgeous with the boots.

I love the dress! Did you get it on your trip to Scotland by any chance? I tried on a very similar dress in blue in Dorothy Perkins a few weeks ago but it was too long. :-(

I think it works with the tights and boots anyway.

Wow, what a great shape! Looks fantastic, and I love it with boots!

Like the dress but not the tights.

I love the drape of the dress. I definitely think you can dress this up or down; so many possibilities! However, like rena I'm not a big fan of those particular tights.

Those boots! perfect color for you!
About the dress...can you sit down in it without the front slit revealing more than you'd like?

Definitely keep. The style and drape is just gorgeous!!!

Thanks everyone,
I think the dress is going back, for some reason the sleeves do not fall right on my arms. I think Joy also pointed something out that is weird about the slit. I am not sure what Angie meant about flipping up in the front, Angie? She must have noticed something that seemed off. However I do like the shape and LOVE my boots . But I am learning that if something feels off, I may never wear it or feel uncomfortable in it. But I agree, the shape is something I will look for in another dress so thank you all for pointing that out to me!! Posting helps me so much in making these decisions!

I was going to say the same as Joy said as soon as I got back to this thread. Onto something better!
