I like that you're being discerning. NEXT.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1943692 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 13:19:32 +0000 Colette 1943692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fit in the larger size looks great! But if you aren't feeling it, on to the next fab dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1943658 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 11:14:55 +0000 unfrumped 1943658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit is better, for sure.<br /> To me, the solid, fitted dress reads more like a dressy or business dress than “ casual. ( hence why I’d also use solid color for versatility and formality). I’d wear it ( if I could!) hemmed just a bit to best below- knee length and not wear sneaks! So that doesn’t seem to be your aim for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1943646 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 10:41:43 +0000 kkards 1943646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>angie...thank you so much for weighing&nbsp;in. yes i love stripes, but was thinking that the stripes were much more casaul and was looking for something was could be more&nbsp;versatile. when i got the larger size i realized that i like this dress, but didn't love it, and as i don't wear dresses a lot, i know that the dress has to have a high happiness factor or it won't get worn..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942829 Mon, 30 Jul 2018 18:11:27 +0000 Angie 1942829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fits better in the larger size for sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>I like the navy, but LOVED the stripes. Don't you like stripes, <b>kkards</b>? The style of dress looks punchier in the stripe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942632 Sun, 29 Jul 2018 21:09:35 +0000 Anonymous 1942632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks nice but you look so unhappy in it, it will make someone else happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942430 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 23:32:59 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1942430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kkards, send it back and go for something Boden or James Perse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942412 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 22:25:37 +0000 Gigi 1942412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with previous posters that I think the fit overall is better in the larger size, but it seems a little too long.</p> <p>I understand what you're saying about the neckline (I too prefer Vs and scoopnecks). It sounds like you are not in love with this dress and are not itching to wear it, which in my book means you would be better off returning it and spending your money on something you love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942401 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 21:07:58 +0000 kkards 1942401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tina and Smitte--actually the lenght is the thing i like the best about this dress....<br />after thinking about it today...if it was a vneck or scoop i think i'd keep it, but i dont love the neck line, and its still a little more body con than i'd like in a casual dress.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942391 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 19:31:23 +0000 Kathie 1942391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree that this fits better, but if you’re not loving it, send it back. Other options are looking really good this fall. And Boden seems to do a lot in navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942383 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 19:04:16 +0000 Anonymous 1942383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new size is excellent.<br /> I think the length is too long though! Maybe you could shorten?<br /> It seems like it would be useful with statement shoes or toppers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942369 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 17:45:32 +0000 Barbara Diane 1942369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like a really nice useful dress that fits you well. As you don’t seem to love it, questions are, do you own something you like better you will wear instead of choosing it? Is there another dress you want to try like the Boden one? Will it fill a hole? Will you keep looking? Should you hold onto it for a week or two while continuing to search? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up/page/2#post-1942367 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 17:17:46 +0000 Anonymous 1942367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote to return the dress if you don't love it right out of the box.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up#post-1942343 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 15:32:46 +0000 Tina 1942343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good on you. I wonder if you would like it better if it was a couple of inches shorter? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up#post-1942336 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 15:17:22 +0000 Suz 1942336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What KnittingGene said. I like it but if it doesn't wow you, then at least this is one year we can be fairly sure there will be other options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up#post-1942330 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 14:55:42 +0000 KnittingGene 1942330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great.

I also note that even that size can hitch up above the bustline. Glad you are trying a size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up#post-1941264 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:17:15 +0000 kkards 1941264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, yes&nbsp;this could work for work. we have gone over to casual, and this would be on the "dressy" side..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up#post-1941263 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:15:43 +0000 Angie 1941263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And now I want that Boden dress too.

Try the size up. My measurements are 35.5-27-35.5 and I tried the MP for reference. It was perfect but just too long.

The length is perfect. What a great look with sneakers.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1901-knit-dress-size-up#post-1941178 Wed, 25 Jul 2018 13:26:50 +0000 Kari 1941178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’d try a size up. The dress I have in this brand runs small for me, too. </p>
