I was trying to branch into floral patterns for a year without success - nothing felt right but I like this one. As some of you said the scale is right for me, the back background makes it modern and soft colors play well with my colors. In addition as Angie said - trendy and classic in the same time - how one can beat this?:-)<br /> Now I just have to wait until summer....or go to a tropical vacation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost/page/2#post-793859 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:44:45 +0000 Inge 793859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you're taller it always feels like an extra special treat to find a dress that is long enough and hits us at just the right spot. So happy dance!!-)<br /> I love the streamlined look with the romantic floral print. I'm sure your Mom can make it perfect for you, Sveta. Enjoy your almost birthday present! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost/page/2#post-793832 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 21:20:01 +0000 krishnidoux 793832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely stunning. This is a great dress for so many reasons, starting with florals, which are so big now. These are just perfect for your size, the cut is impeccable, length is flattering yet modest, the result is classic, all in all, fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost/page/2#post-793734 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 18:51:41 +0000 cobaltblue 793734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and look forward to seeing your mom's alterations to the bodice.

BTW, many happy returns opf the Day, Sveta!<br /> I like the forals of this dress, even not really a fan of forals in general, but this is so curent, with the bold colours, and black background, cut is fabulous and the fit perfect (don't see anything wrong on top, but know your mom will solve it for sure). Great dress, and my vote would have been Keep, from the beginning...even if not asked for:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793453 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 12:52:50 +0000 missvee 793453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the link Sveta. There are some very nice dresses here. I love the sleeveless red one with the lace panelled sides. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793411 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 10:58:19 +0000 Deborah 793411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, this is a lovely dress. The floral is lovely, and the cut is nicely structured. I do hope your mum can do the necessary alteration for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793320 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 04:04:46 +0000 Sveta 793320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, that's a lot of snow in one day! Ours got lost somewhere in the midwest it seems...:-)...<br /> ..but 2 years ago we had over 50" of snow in one day (not to boast or anything...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793319 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 04:02:45 +0000 Sveta 793319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vicky - thank you!<br /> Claire, I hear you on the tropical vacation...:-)<br /> Suz, Tracey - I am sure my mom can manage it :-)<br /> missvee, I am 5'10" so I have it harder than you with dress length This one is from speciality store for tall women: <a href="http://us.longtallsally.com" rel="nofollow">http://us.longtallsally.com</a><br /> Nancy, I agree, it is hard to adjust the eye now but for summer it is perfect, no?<br /> Joy, this is an interesting thought. I am not sure I will do it for winter (cotton skirt feels like the wrong weight for the season) but definitely for the next spring...Thanks for the inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793315 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:58:10 +0000 sarah 793315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, actually it was 16", and it all came yesterday! It's lovely outside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793303 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:48:10 +0000 Anonymous 793303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It has to be a sign! I hope it can be altered to perfection. It's begging for a place in your closet as well as your suitcase in January. Maybe it can even be winterized as a skirt with your yellow sweater worn over the top, black tights and boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793300 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:42:01 +0000 nancylee 793300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So spring-like and fresh, Sveta. I have to admit that I had to adjust my winter clothing eye to the floral print (I'm just not used to seeing prints like this in December!) but this dress is just lovely. Hope your mom can make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793297 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:39:30 +0000 missvee 793297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where do you find dresses this long? I'm only 5'7" but the dresses in the mainstream shops like the Bay are way too short. It annoys me no end.<br /> This one's a keeper for sure - so fresh and summery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793289 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:28:55 +0000 TraceyLiz65 793289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy that you tried it despite not being sure of the print online. Keeping my fingers crossed that your mother is able to alter it. Good Luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793282 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:21:52 +0000 Suz 793282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - that is so pretty on you, Sveta, and what amazing timing! I hope your mom can alter it for you. It will work into your wardrobe brilliantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793274 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:06:25 +0000 Anonymous 793274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooo! A lovely late birthday gift. I love the dramatic romantic floral and the suave midi length! It will be perfect after your mother takes in the bust and waist. What a terrific dress for you; now you'll have to take a tropical vacation this winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793268 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 03:00:44 +0000 Vicki 793268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy early birthday, Sveta, and flowers on your birthday are a lovely gift! Yes, it was a sign and you look amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793265 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:59:40 +0000 Sveta 793265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shevia, it is really big on top, it is just not visible in the pictures. This is my usual problem :-)<br /> Kristin, it is more than nice, it is simply fantastic - I am so lucky!<br /> Sarah, no! 12" of snow already? We did not have it at all yet... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793254 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:53:55 +0000 sarah 793254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, this is unexpected - a breath of summer in the midst of our 12"+ of new snow!</p> <p>I think it's lovely. It's a bit retro and I love the print. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793217 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:32:49 +0000 Sveta 793217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Thistle!<br /> Ha-ha Shannon, Yes I do - and we did not have a first real snow of the season yet! I am planning a trip to Florida in January so maybe this dress can tag along... actually it reminded me a bit of your floral dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-birthday-presentalmost#post-793216 Tue, 11 Dec 2012 02:32:40 +0000 Kristin SF 793216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those colors look fantastic on you. How nice to have a mom who can adjust your clothes for you! </p>
