I have been wanting to do a slit on some old bootcuts of mine but wasn't sure if I should just cut it or open and re-sew. These are fabulous.</p> <p>I'm not sure about the top. I think the slouchy way it looks on the model is more modern maybe? I agree it might work better with a different color tank under it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2264296 Tue, 24 May 2022 05:38:20 +0000 Anonymous 2264296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress, jeans and white top all look beautiful. &nbsp;The owner of a consignment store that I frequent, encourages me to wear colored tanks under other sheer colors like turquoise under coral. &nbsp;I like the look, but it took awhile. &nbsp; Any tank that blends with your bottoms seems like a good color to wear the white top. &nbsp;I also like a nude or blush tank under many colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2264283 Tue, 24 May 2022 02:14:59 +0000 Karie 2264283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are fantastic- great fit and I like the length, as long as they’re not so long as to make you trip. The dress looks good too - good job with the alterations. As for the top, my suggestion would be to wear it with a cami the same color as whatever bottoms you wear with it, but honestly I think you could do better. It looks too stiff and not fluid enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2264263 Mon, 23 May 2022 22:29:02 +0000 Lucy 2264263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty dress and fabulous, fun jeans! I quite like the top. I don't think it needs the extra slouch; although, I think I would do as you suggested and put a contrasting (or white/cream) tank underneath rather than nude. A black tank underneath with black jeans and light footwear to echo the top might look good!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263998 Sun, 22 May 2022 01:28:30 +0000 Jaime 2263998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dress looks just right now and the jeans are made for you!

I’d prefer the top to have more volume and for. A little slouchier , but that’s just me . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263949 Sat, 21 May 2022 16:48:53 +0000 Angie 2263949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab alteration on the dress!&nbsp;</p> <p>After 2 weeks in South Africa, I can say that many, many people were wearing casual maxi dresses like this - with jackets too - and it looked GREAT :)</p> <p>KILLER jeans and crochet top! Sweet Woody.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263903 Sat, 21 May 2022 13:48:56 +0000 kkards 2263903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jeans! So fab!<br />i also love the top, to me the length is perfect..any shorter and every time you moved you would be flashing stomach (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but i know its not something i want to do, and i &nbsp;think that’s what your after either, but i could be wrong), any longer and IMO it would need lower waisted and/or skinnier bottoms…but I also know that sometimes something looks/feels different IRL and if this isn’t working for you don’t force it.&nbsp;</p> <p>And love the changes you made to the dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263879 Sat, 21 May 2022 09:02:18 +0000 Lana 2263879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow those jeans are fab! &nbsp;Your legs look a mile long in them. Dress turned out nice too. Have you tried a partial tuck with the top or would that ruin the effect? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263868 Sat, 21 May 2022 06:43:38 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 2263868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love the jeans! The tailored dress looks even better on you.<br /> You are right, something is off with the top - maybe too short, or fabric too stiff? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263867 Sat, 21 May 2022 05:31:54 +0000 elpgal 2263867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jeans are killer but the top seems not as flown on you (too short? Material needs to wear in?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263863 Sat, 21 May 2022 04:20:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2263863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top! It’s the best thing of all these. Looks great with the new white sandals. Honestly Janet I think it looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263860 Sat, 21 May 2022 03:28:54 +0000 VioletMyra 2263860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore the ensemble in pics 4-7. Try a coloured tank underneath as suggested by Slim Cat. I would be keeping the top; it looks so fresh (hmm, I can't think of the word I really want to use) and summery with those jeans. Best wishes to all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263858 Sat, 21 May 2022 03:09:26 +0000 slim cat 2263858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything ( gold sandals too ) - great pieces with perfect fit!<br />The top could be fun with blue camisole or navy as well - very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263857 Sat, 21 May 2022 02:27:49 +0000 rachylou 2263857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, I love the top. Looks fabulous with the cool jeans and white sandals. With the dress, you look ready for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263855 Sat, 21 May 2022 01:01:08 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2263855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oo I love the snaps on the jeans. I didn’t note them properly when you first posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263853 Sat, 21 May 2022 00:48:17 +0000 Carla 2263853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with Suz. &nbsp;Love the idea of the macramé top, but there’s something ‘off’ about the fit that makes it look stiff. &nbsp;The jeans look like a perfect ‘Janet’ piece, and I loved the dress from the get-go, so no convincing needed there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263851 Sat, 21 May 2022 00:24:33 +0000 Suz 2263851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love those jeans on you!! SO fab! The snap hem detail is killer great! And yes, you can definitely adjust to the length you want. These are quite elegant as is.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dress looks great, too. Good decision about the alterations.&nbsp;</p> <p>The top is really pretty and fun, but I see your point a bit -- it's almost as if it's too short or something, so you can't do the semi-tuck like the model. That makes it look a bit on the stiff side in the photos. But maybe it doesn't feel like that in real life?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/altered-dress-and-pilcro-skater-jeans#post-2263838 Fri, 20 May 2022 21:16:35 +0000 Janet 2263838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got the dress back from the tailor and I’m happy with the results. There is still a little gap in the shoulder straps where my bra strap shows but it’s only maybe an inch and it barely shows under my hair anyway. The tailor also closed the slit a few inches so it wasn’t up my thigh anymore. I’m going to tack the back together so it doesn’t flap open too. </p> <p>I’m also posting the Pilcro skater jeans I posted recently. The regular ones were too short (shorter on me than on the model, but not short enough to be proper cropped length). I ordered the talls and those suit me much better. I think I could even trim off a half inch to an inch and still be fine — the hem is unfinished so a hack would be pretty easy. There’s enough room under the bottom snap that it wouldn’t look odd to lose an inch. I love the snap hem detail! </p> <p>They look snug around the hip in the photo but they are straight out of the package, and these are very stretchy and definitely loosen up with wear. The next size up looked like it was going to be too baggy in no time, and seeing as I’m currently at the higher end of my usual size range, I know better than to buy something that will end up too baggy. I’m inclined to keep. </p> <p>Pictured with the jeans is the lace/crochet top from Anthro. I’m less sure of this now that I’m seeing it in pictures. I’m not sure exactly how I’d style it, TBH. It’s “one size” so this is how it fits, period. I kind of wish it were a little slouchier, maybe? And is the pattern making me look wide and boxy? I need fresh eyes on this one. I am wearing a nude tank underneath it, but maybe it’s better over black, like the model photo? Not sure. I welcome input!</p> <p>Woody had to get in the photo. He’a such a goofball. And I need to correct that farmer tan, ugh! LOL </p>
