The fabric, cut, length, everything looks totally different. Can you return it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated/page/2#post-182063 Sun, 11 Jul 2010 03:48:46 +0000 Sparky 182063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is definitely the problem! Definitely send it back if you can.</p> <p>The one thing I like about that dress is the length. You have GORGEOUS legs. Look for other dresses that end at the same place on your legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181930 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 17:00:54 +0000 Anonymous 181930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is wrong in so many ways, send it back and forget about it. Consider it a lesson learned, there are going to be many better dresses in your future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181881 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 12:39:36 +0000 stringy 181881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, it's just not going to work out.

It looks like me trying on my mother's clothes. Would you want to try it in a smaller size? Is there any part of it that would be too small in a smaller size? Do you really think you can alter it into shape? In any case your posts were entertaining </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181830 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 05:18:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 181830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would just return it- there is too much that needs to be altered.<br /> It was cute in theory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181824 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 04:46:40 +0000 Lena 181824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magda, I second what everyone above said. Try to return this one. I'm positive there are perfect dresses out there for your body - you'd look terrific in dresses. You have great legs, too.</p> <p>I love your sense of humour! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181821 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 04:19:18 +0000 Lisa 181821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the belted version the best but as Maya said above, you have a lovely figure and if the dress doesn't work, than it's from poor craftsmanship. Not an issue with your body in any way. On to more flattering dresses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181768 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 02:30:48 +0000 Maya 181768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have the perfect body for dresses, so it's safe to say if a dress doesn't fit you, something must be terribly wrong with it. It doesn't seem worth it to me. I'd return it if you can. There are so many other dresses in the world that will fit you much better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181766 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 02:25:32 +0000 Sveta 181766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Magda, usually you are too hard on yourself but in this case you are right. I think this dress is not a good fit for you. Usually it is difficult to find a fitted dress which fits perfectly everywhere but in your case it looks like it does not fit well anywhere.<br /> If you can return it I would advice to do so - there are too many alterations to do. There are dresses out there which will fit you better. I have some curves too and found a black fitted dress which needed only slight alterations in waist and bust and fits me perfectly. I never thought it is possible before but it happened. Your perfect dress is waiting for you - just keep looking :-)<br /> P.S. That's why I never buy clothes online... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181740 Sat, 10 Jul 2010 01:20:23 +0000 Misia 181740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ty jestes smieszna, cos stal sukinkal jest nie tak, musisz poszukac lepszal albo moze krawcowa bedzie mogla cos zrobic.

I suspect a total remake would be necessary to make it work. In that case you may be better off to look for a pattern and get a dress made to fit you perfectly from scratch. I am especially doubtful that even an experienced tailor could make the shoulders fit you well and what is all that excess fabric in the back?<br /> Glad you have such a wonderful sense of humour....you must have been SO dissappointed after waiting one month for it to arrive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181651 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 21:42:42 +0000 tarzy 181651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A) You look amazing in a dress.

I bet the dress isn't flattering on any real person without massive pinning and tricky photography. I'm sorry that happened though - it's so disappointing when something you've been looking forward to doesn't work out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181615 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:44:11 +0000 Anonymous 181615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, dear!

It could be great altered and belted without those wings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181592 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:24:30 +0000 Melissa 181592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, that "pin it to fit" for the photo tactic is totally evil. I almost never buy stuff online unless the dimensions are listed for that reason. </p> <p>On the bright side, Magda, your legs look great in the dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181582 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 19:05:02 +0000 Queen Mum 181582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think if we lose the wings it has great potential.

I'm sure they pinned it all over the place to get that catalog picture. It's not you, it's the dress! There are parts of it I like, but it doesn't hang right overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181572 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:42:28 +0000 Itari 181572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, I'm convinced.

Truly bizarre, I can't image what shape you'd have to be to make it work.</p> <p>I actually asked the salesgirl if I was wearing it wrong - maybe it was meant to be off-the-shoulder, or I had the lower half hiked up too high. Turned out I was was wearing it right, and that dress was just weird. </p> <p>But after one experience where I had a skirt around my chest like a dress and was wondering why the 'halter' bits were so long (it was actually a very revealing backless dress), I try not to overestimate my skill at putting clothes on correctly I always check now if something just seems too weird to believe...</p> <p>Anyway, hopefully you can get yours altered into something presentable. Fingers crossed that it's not too bad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-new-dress-feeling-cheated#post-181432 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:37:38 +0000 Debora 181432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! how frustrating to be eagerly anticipating something and then to be so cruelly let down, especially after such a long wait. Chin up, it's a lovely dress and I'm sure you will rock it after the alterations.
