I think it has waist definition because of the way the pleats end at the waist. BUT it sounds like you are being very practical about budget and the usefulness of this piece, so I understand your reservation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-453046 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:14:18 +0000 HeleenH 453046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A couple of reasons for not buying the blue top:<br /> - I liked the waist definition the dress gave me much more than the way the blue top hides it.<br /> - It is a very thin knit and honestly for me it is more of a spring/summer top than a winter top. So I might revisit it in the sale.<br /> - Just before I went shopping I saw how much I already spent on clothes the last months. Before buying more tops I need to know when I am going to wear them.<br /> - a minor point: this top can only be worn with a cami or something else underneath. (I will even need thermal longsleeves if I want to wear it in winter) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-453032 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 15:02:32 +0000 Suz 453032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely, Heleen! You will enjoy it. The blue top is also very nice but I understand your reservations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-453027 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:59:17 +0000 Angie 453027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress! Love it with the obi belt. But try your own belts too. </p> <p>I like the blue top actually! What put you off, Heleen? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452991 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 14:12:43 +0000 rute 452991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely dress! Love the wide belt!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452964 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:46:20 +0000 Fruitful 452964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is lovely Heleen, hope your obi looks fabulous with it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452963 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:45:20 +0000 Jonesy 452963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny: I really like the dress/belt on you, and I think that blue top is a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452947 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:29:59 +0000 Kappy 452947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like that blue on you. The dress looks great; I'm sure you'll get a lot of wear out of it. That obi belt is cute too, but good call to try your belt first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452946 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:28:49 +0000 Aunty 452946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress on you. Look forward to you trying your own belts with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452945 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:26:56 +0000 HeleenH 452945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, I loooove the colour, but I can't find my waist in the blue top. Another reason is that my budget is not endless and I don't really need another thin sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452932 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:56:18 +0000 modgrl 452932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with both pieces! I'm surprised you didn't buy the blue top.It is a nice color for you. Great dress and the obi belt is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452922 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:40:07 +0000 HeleenH 452922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Lyn. I already have an obi belt, so I am going to try it with that one first. I did notice the one in the shop is of a different quality so who knows... It will still be there if I want it later on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452920 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 12:36:32 +0000 lyn67 452920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the dress(and top, too), and also fan of obi belts, ads an edge, I think.<br /> Buy it!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452911 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:55:30 +0000 HeleenH 452911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a very thin knit fabric Viscose: 94%, Elastomeer: 6% and highly impractical for winter at our home, but I will be able to wear it often enough to justify buying the dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452909 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:50:40 +0000 Deborah 452909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice dress #1:). The length looks good and I like the belt with it. It creates a lovely shape for you. What's the fabric? Is it a knit? Good call on the jumper, I think you could find something much nicer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-1#post-452906 Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:42:19 +0000 HeleenH 452906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't been very active lately, but I just wanted to show my new items nevertheless. I do try and read as often as I can!<br /> I went to town to try on a sweater dress, but it was not for me. I went to the next store and found myself a new dress (picture 1). I didn't buy the obi-belt, I will try my own belts, first. I have to wait a week before I can actually take it home because it needs to be hemmed about 2 inches. It is pinned in the picture, before the dress was hanging just a bit over my boots and it was sloppy that way.<br /> I also found a nice pair of thick leggings to wear with my longer knitted sweaters/jumper.<br /> I tried on a jumper in a real nice colour (picture 2), but I didn't like the fit, so I left it in the store. </p>
