But it’s all about what makes YOU feel confident and good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/50th-reunion-1#post-2412889 Wed, 13 May 2026 21:15:41 +0000 Carla 2412889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress you are considering looks promising. &nbsp;From the description of your shape, and the style of the dress, it seems to me you know what works for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/50th-reunion-1#post-2412887 Wed, 13 May 2026 20:48:21 +0000 Roberta 2412887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A very pretty dress, and I'm sure there are ways to minimize the bow, or leave the belt off entirely. Maybe a metallic belt instead, and matching flats? I love the cut workm at the bottom, it lightens the whole look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/50th-reunion-1#post-2412878 Wed, 13 May 2026 19:57:17 +0000 DonnaF 2412878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute dress! From your self-description, it looks to be extremely flattering on you. At 51" long, I think it might be maxi length on you; cut-outs make it hard to hem up. You could always replace the belt or not tie it in a bow.&nbsp;</p> <p>Do you have a cropped topper that would work if there is arctic air as well as footwear? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/50th-reunion-1#post-2412874 Wed, 13 May 2026 19:22:40 +0000 uneasyshopper 2412874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What to wear to a 50th high school reunion in the midatlantic region in June? I can rule out tiered or flounced or pleated or drop-waist skirts, which make me look dumpy. Same with white pants, a mistake I've made over and over. (Whenever I see photos of me wearing them, I find I look especially bottom-heavy.) I’m 5’4”, a bit of a pear, basically a size six with narrow shoulders. I’m too short to wear anything maxi. Could probably handle midi. Bunions have made shoes a huge challenge, though shoes have been a life-long challenge for me. (Gosh, what a NEGATIVE post! Sorry!) The event will be held at a hotel (with A/C), but this is not a formal event. I don’t think I even need to wear “cocktail attire.” I tend to look best in something waist defining. I’m fussy about fabrics — prefer cotton or linen for summer. I’m not a fan of synthetics…too hot. Thinking about this dress from Dillards because of the color and the cotton fabric —not sure about the enormous bow from the sash though. Would truly appreciate your sage advice! Many TIA!</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.dillards.com/p/vince-camuto-solid-v-neck-cap-sleeve-belted-midi-a-line-dress/521258329">https://www.dillards.com/p/vin...../521258329</a> </p>
