Since it already shows a lot of skin with the deep Vs and the cold shoulders, I actually wouldn't go too alterations-happy with the hem. Perhaps a few inches in front (ankle bone length), or short side slits (mid-calf). Currently it's a very balanced look that lets the eye focus on your upper body so I'd aim to keep that.</p> <p>The first orange-y or coral-y dress is also a lovely fit on you and may be worth a deviation from your usual cool-toned flatterers. Have you seen whether it's available online in a different shade?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923328 Mon, 28 May 2018 13:38:26 +0000 Staysfit 1923328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color of the first looks like it was made for you! I love all three! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923326 Mon, 28 May 2018 13:28:36 +0000 Chris987 1923326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>all three look great! I agree on hemming the maxi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923315 Mon, 28 May 2018 13:16:19 +0000 Angie 1923315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It WAS Michelle. If you hem the maxi </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923305 Mon, 28 May 2018 13:00:38 +0000 Jessikams 1923305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hot dang, you look fab and you know it in that maxi dress! Keep going to that boutique, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923299 Mon, 28 May 2018 12:47:43 +0000 lyn67 1923299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All 3 are gorgeous, but think you'll get a K2K rating from Angie for the maxi cold shouldered dress-it is so glamorous, wow!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923172 Sun, 27 May 2018 23:33:32 +0000 Dianna 1923172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, loved all three, but my favorite one on you is the maxi-dress, you look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923065 Sun, 27 May 2018 16:54:54 +0000 Kathie 1923065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The maxi is goddess-like on you, so my gut instinct is to not change anything. It’s a confident, powerful look on you. If you do change it to high/low, I’d do something subtle, with the highest part still well below your knees. Or consider an asymmetric hem, higher on one side, full length on the other. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1923056 Sun, 27 May 2018 16:24:03 +0000 Michelle 1923056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks gals! I feel really happy with them all. In fact I wore the maxi last night and felt amazing in it...but I will swing by my seamstress and see if it's possible to convert it to a high-low hemline. Because I love those. In such cases, how much leg is optimal to reveal. With this pattern would a subtle asymmetry be best or would it be more effective to be dramatic about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say/page/2#post-1922897 Sat, 26 May 2018 23:11:33 +0000 Sal 1922897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them Michelle- worth the trip! I would wear flats or wedges with the maxi.</p> <p>The polka dots are just so perfect on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922849 Sat, 26 May 2018 21:02:00 +0000 Suz 1922849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic on you, Michelle! What a great dress season indeed. I love the polka dot one best, but that's because my mother once owned one like that and I inherited it for "dress up" when I was a kid -- it's so classic and beautiful on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>The maxi is really cool. I'd hem it just a little, perhaps.&nbsp;</p> <p>In terms of footwear, I think you can go with any number of different styles, really. Flat would work, but a small block heel would also work well, or a platform/ flatform.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922846 Sat, 26 May 2018 20:48:10 +0000 Cardiff girl 1922846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The polka dot gets my vote!You look great in that dress,pleased that you have found 3 dresses that you are pleased with,hope you have fun wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922716 Sat, 26 May 2018 15:06:43 +0000 Christina F. 1922716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you had good luck times 3. Wonderful dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922713 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:59:01 +0000 Jane 1922713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dresses Michelle. They all look superb on you. </p> <p>I would go for flats with the maxi, but I wear flats mostly. Maybe I might go for a metallic sandal with painted toes. But you could do neat white converse too. I love the shoulder detail on the maxi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922702 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:39:59 +0000 Michelle 1922702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And can I ask you guys another question? What, in your views, are the best footwear styles to wear with this new maxi? Super flat or are slight heels ok? In terms of metallics, which ones would work best? Seems to me that it could be pretty versatile because of the colours in the dress but I'm simply not sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922687 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:16:56 +0000 Aquamarine 1922687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy smokes! Fantastic assortment. The maxi is especially incredible on you. Wear with confidence! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922684 Sat, 26 May 2018 14:12:31 +0000 Michelle 1922684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woohoo!!! Thank you guys! Oh I am so excited now to trot out every one of these. <br />But...pardon me, Angie? Was that a Killer I heard in regard to a maxi dress??? *buys lottery ticket* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922675 Sat, 26 May 2018 13:56:28 +0000 Angie 1922675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! KILLER x3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922673 Sat, 26 May 2018 13:41:50 +0000 kkards 1922673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love love love the navy and the maxi dress! (i'll confuse that i am a maxi dress lover from way back, even thought i know that they don't get love here)...<br />i love the orange colored dress on you, but, and this maybe just me, the pictures make it look like something is slightly off...maybe the lining isn't/wasn't hanging&nbsp;properly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922670 Sat, 26 May 2018 13:26:34 +0000 Janet 1922670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, there is nothing to forgive about that maxi dress because it is FANTASTIC (all caps!) on you. I also love the polka dot dress. The burnt orange is very nice too, but dang, I keep coming back to the maxi because you look so amazing in it. All winners! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922666 Sat, 26 May 2018 13:13:06 +0000 Roxanna 1922666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love how wildly different and fostering all three of these are! You look wonderful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922662 Sat, 26 May 2018 13:05:01 +0000 Diana 1922662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow, Michelle! I think you hit it out of the park with all three of these! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922644 Sat, 26 May 2018 12:15:50 +0000 Anonymous 1922644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is so great that you still have a boutique to shop at- color me jealous and that it caters to plus size- beyond super.<br /> Love love love the polka dot one but i am a sucker for navy. I see you getting more mileage out of the maxi dress than you might think. I see women wearing them a lot.<br /> The detail / texture in the fabric of the orange one is intriguing even in the pictures.<br /> Glad you had a very successful shopping trip </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922609 Sat, 26 May 2018 10:37:15 +0000 Bijou 1922609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did very well and bought three beautiful dresses. I love how elegant you look in the cold shoulder maxi dress and I am sure it will get Angie's seal of approval, just like the other dresses. It is wonderful when you find a store that stocks clothing that you love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922601 Sat, 26 May 2018 10:19:25 +0000 Toban 1922601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in all three. My favorite is the second dress (navy). The maxi dress is fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922585 Sat, 26 May 2018 09:48:25 +0000 Kathie 1922585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great looks! My favorite is the polka dot- which is flattering, great length, and versatile. The maxi is stunning on you. I think it seems more formal because of the deep V in the back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922560 Sat, 26 May 2018 06:59:26 +0000 Joyce B 1922560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are all great dresses on you. I think Angie will change her opinion about maxi dresses when she sees how fabulous you look in yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922541 Sat, 26 May 2018 05:02:41 +0000 Kari 1922541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous!!! These dresses love you. The polka dot is especially my favorite because the tailoring seems perfect and it’s so retro-pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922539 Sat, 26 May 2018 04:44:16 +0000 Michelle 1922539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So wait, now I'm confused. Does the maxi look like a special occasion dress or suitable for more routine occasions? <br />Joy, I suspect it's the picture because the orange dress is fully lined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-dress-season-you-say#post-1922538 Sat, 26 May 2018 04:26:16 +0000 DonnaF 1922538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The maxi is my favorite on you! </p>
