Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

New dress question and new vest

I shamelessly copied Medusa when she linked to a BR dress that was on sale...here it is:

Is it too short on me without leggings?

I've been searching for a vest for about a year now and hadn't found anything I really liked. I found this one today but I'm wondering about the fit:

Don't mind the weird line across the dress at the crotch...it's a fold line that will go away once I iron it :)

Thanks!

Hi Dani,

I like the dress and it doesn't look too short to me. Is it ok when you sit down? It looks great with the boots.

Not sure about the vest. It looks like it fits well, but seems a little plain to me? I think it would depend on how you layer it, as it could be excellent in a good combo.

Disregard that - I took a closer look and I can see that vest working in many ensembles. It looks like a good fit! Does it button smoothly?

I don't think the dress is too short when you wear it with the boots. But maybe with flats you will need the leggings. (Lightbulb!)

The dress looks great and I love the vest too. It looks like the fit is good but you haven't buttoned it.

The vest does button, but I didn't button it over the dress as this is how I would wear it over the dress. It doesn't pull across the chest. How does the line look on me?

Btw...it is pinstriped, but you can't tell it from the picture :)

Love the dress! I saw it in the store. I agree about leggings though.
I like the vest, but I would like to see it buttoned to evaluate the fit. I like when vests are cut a little lower, but it might be just me :) Pinstripe sounds great.

I really like the vest over the dress-- better than just the dress by itself. It's a good look on you.

It looks great, I love the vest. Where did you find the vest? It's a cute cut.

I think the dress is perfect as is, Dani (loved it the minute Medusa posted it;-)
I'm not sure about the waistcoat, it looks a bit 'straightish' in the picture, but that's probably because it's unbuttoned. I can't see the stripes, but love the sound of them;-)

I love the dress, I found the styling in the BR look book uninspiring but with the boots it really works.

Love the vest and the dress. The vest will be very versatile over graphic tshirt and shirts.

Fab dress! But do the sit down and cross your legs test to be sure. I’m not going to dig the frock with ballet flats. Wear it over skinnies though!

Super waist coat. Keep.
