  1. I arrived home on Friday evening and sifted through the usual pile of mail: catalogues, advertisements, gossip magazine, but Lo! there was a package with lovely foreign stamps!!!

    I scanned for the sender and it was a parcel from our dearest Lynne! I was the very lucky recipient of her gorgeous Noa Noa frock! Inside the package, Lynne included a note written on a wonderful postcard from Denmark (it is proudly displayed on our refrigerator now!) Also, she included a spring Noa Noa catalogue (I only want a dozen items now).

    This dress is absolutely gorgeous in real life. I was so excited!! I raced upstairs and immediately tried it on and snapped a few photos for you all to see. I am in love with the vintage feel of this dress. I need to have it taken in just a smidge.

    I am very honored to receive this dress from Lynne. I will think of her always when I wear it (not to mention I have added Denmark to my travel wish list). Thank you, thank you, Lynne!

    Tell me what you think about it. My apologies, but due to excitement I did not style or accessorize. 1-Dress as is. 2-Dress cinched. 3-Closer look.

    Comments and criticism always welcome and appreciated.

  2. GORGEOUS! Shape and cut is divine on you. This color can be tricky but it is a good nude color for you so if you play it right with accessories and makeup this dress will be a star! Lynne, you rock!
    Love your toned arms - do you do weights? They look great!

  3. Gorgeous was my thought too! Absolutely take in the torso a little, but wow!

  4. I think that style is meant to be less fitted. I like it a bit looser.

  5. Oh my gosh, the YLF swap magic strikes again! It looks divine on you both loose and taken in!

  6. I love the dress, the color is amazing!

    I also want arms like yours! You must have worked hard for those they are in fabulous shape, (like the rest of you!) What kind of work out routine do you use?

  7. Love the dress! I also like it loose. Enjoy Heather :)

  8. Very fab on you! My heart warms at the transcontinental YLF swap :). Lynne, you are a sweetheart. I too prefer it loose and flapperesque.

  9. Gorgeous - could go either way, IMO. Whatever you love best. I can't wait to see it with full accessories (hint, hint). ;)

  10. That dress is absolutely fabulous on you beautiful porcelain skin.

  11. KIller! OMG, Heather, that dress is divine on you! I don't know anyone (besides Lynne) that could wear that color and look stunning. I love how the dress just skims your figure--sooooo pretty. I guess that means I prefer it a bit on the looser side. And man, oh man, those arms! Goodness grief, I'm speechless.

  12. This is going to be such a special dress in your wardrobe, with its history and the sweetness of its giver. Treasure it!

  13. Lovely dress. To me it has a very 1920s feel by the way it skims the body. Very nice!

  14. I actually said OMG out loud when I saw this!! I'm not a vintage kind of gal but that is smashing! This says a lot about Lynne, too. What an awesome, selfless gesture.

  15. I'm joining team Looser. It has that 1920's flapper feel to it, which gets lost with the snugger look. Though you look gorgeous with it snug as well, so you really can't go wrong either way.

  16. Wow - that dress is stunning, and I really love the flapper vibe. What gorgeous detailing. And how wonderful of Lynne to pass it along.

  17. Oooo this looks great on your. It looks 1920's in style, gorgeous x

  18. That dress was made for you!

    If you ever had any, I bet you have all your party frock problems solved now - this dress is a showstopper on you.

  19. You look so beautiful in that dress - I love it! Your skin is such a lovely porcelain color. And your arms...you inspire me to get back in the gym.

  20. *plonk*.....that was me, falling on the floor, Heather!

    I am speechless.....you look divine.

    It was meant to be :), and seeing it being loved thrills me to bits! Enjoy!

    eta I voted Yay for loose :)

  21. Was Yay 1- dress as is? That's how I voted---you look like a gorgeous 20's flapper!

  22. Lynne, you are incredibly generous and have given me a new evening star! Truly I cannot say thank you enough.

    Thank you ALL for your extremely kind comments. I am beyond flattered.

    Sveta, Kim and anyone else interested: I am a member at a CrossFit gym. http://www.crossfit.com That combined with running (it was a New Year's Resolution in 2010 and I renewed it in 2011) and proper diet--voila!

  23. WOW! Simply Stunning....it looks absolutely *perfect* on you...especially with your coloring. The generosity of this forum is truly amazing!

  24. Wow, you look absolutely superlative-defying gorgeous. What a great YLF connection... It's like the dress was made for you. Go Lynne!

    And yes, your arms are fab too. :)

  25. This is stunning on you!! I'm on Team Looser Fit, though I think something between 1 and 2 would look best. How sweet of Lynne :D
