Angie used to do&nbsp; home chores in her mesh dress, too!:-) </p> <p>Then, Rachy, didn't you dare to simply cut appart the slip dress from the outer layer and so then&nbsp; put them on separately? Much more easier, my dear...(I always do that when they are attached!!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2163437 Sat, 02 Jan 2021 13:30:20 +0000 Jules 2163437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s a lovely dress and really suits you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2163338 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 20:36:52 +0000 LaPed 2163338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a fun dress! But the feeling of being trapped in one's clothes is so stressful; this is why I never wear boots with only a zip closure. I had a cast mate in a play once whose costume's zipper got stuck during a quick change. Trapped in a vintage dress -- nearly disastrous!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2163333 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 20:20:31 +0000 kellygirl 2163333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha. You make me laugh. The dress is great--and I can relate to the lining issue. I have a top like that. It looks great on but the effort it takes to get it on or even think about the contortions required to put it on make it kind of a buzz kill. I want to look like a glamorous princess like you! Happy new year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2163176 Fri, 01 Jan 2021 06:52:22 +0000 Anonymous 2163176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the nod to romanticism.

Go on: make yourself some new cashmere potholders. Haha! Yeah, no, bad idea ;)</p> <p>Omg, Jane... and I should sew the pinafore ALSO to the shoulders. Haha!

Love the dots and stripes. </p> <p>Maybe you need a pinney (sp ?).. perhaps a Japanese one to add to the complexity of straps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2163003 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 14:18:57 +0000 Mirjana 2163003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is wonderful!!

I love that you have fun with fashion, practicality be damned. Here I am worried that I’ll ruin a cashmere sweater wearing it to cook. LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162971 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 11:22:42 +0000 Ledonna N. 2162971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nosy certainly ny ready.

Shame that it is diffficult to get on and off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162958 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 06:13:19 +0000 rachylou 2162958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a tale of middle school mortification for you, Bijou, which I can only tell because it didn’t happen to me, involving skinnies and swim class...skinny jeans should probably have a warning label... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162956 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 06:02:58 +0000 Bijou 2162956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! Such a shame that this dress is so difficult to get on and off. I have been caught out with wet racer back bathers that would not come off and was worried that I would be stuck forever in the change room at the gym begging for someone to bring me scissors so I could cut my way out. These items definitely require a strategy for safe entry and exit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162952 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 05:47:08 +0000 rachylou 2162952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This dress will not go to the bakery or do bathrooms because: bleach. But I could garden in it. It’s rather sturdy, I must say. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162951 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 05:42:23 +0000 rachylou 2162951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jessikams, Midsomer Murders is on the tele right now... and it occurs to me this dress could be the plot of a murder mystery...</p> <p>Slimcat - entangled with the dress bunched over my head, that thought did come to mind! But I didn’t go through with it because I have very slopey shoulders and slip dresses always slip off. It’s a bit of a conundrum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162948 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 04:59:44 +0000 Jessikams 2162948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugghhh I can totally imagine the entanglement...you may have to just scream and claw your way out of it when the time comes (this is my solution with some sports bras). But it looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162944 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 04:37:32 +0000 slim cat 2162944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab look - total love from the first sight! <br />I wonder if the slip could be separated from the dress and the process of dressing broke into two parts - first slip, then - the dress ( used to be that way for some of dresses ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162935 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 03:53:43 +0000 Jaime 2162935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is wonderful! Just don't get bleach on it!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162934 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 03:51:46 +0000 MsMaven 2162934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this dress! Even for cleaning. Today I wore 2 cashmere sweaters, a crew neck and cardi, matching of course, to clean 2 bathrooms. But your outfit is far more elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162897 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 00:55:27 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2162897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another festive option, and I love the stripes under the dots. I love your quirky take on traditions, Rachylou. And your sense of humor. I have struggled with two-layer dresses like that, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162888 Thu, 31 Dec 2020 00:10:57 +0000 Helena 2162888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well that's gorgeous.

Now I feel better about the upcoming marathon wear, altho I’m pretty sure Angie wouldn’t sleep in her dress. I plan to. I fear the removal process. I may be trapped for life here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162883 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:57:17 +0000 rachylou 2162883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol, Angie, I may just have to keep it on until then. I’m sure it’s not coming off again because I may need the fire department to get out of it... lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162881 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:55:47 +0000 Anonymous 2162881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You entertain us But you're turning into Angie if you're mopping in that nice dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162880 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:54:28 +0000 Angie 2162880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ready for NYFW </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162879 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:54:17 +0000 rachylou 2162879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is btw, the hardest dress ever to put on. It’s a slip dress with a sewn on sheer overlay. First I put it on slipdress right side out, overlay inside out... you have to imagine this. Then I had the devil’s own time trying to sort the layers out. Then I got it back on, but the straps somehow double looped on my left arm... I will not address the tiny buttons at the neck with loop button holes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/alternative-xmas-dress#post-2162877 Wed, 30 Dec 2020 23:51:10 +0000 rachylou 2162877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was my other option for Xmas. Lol, I’ve reached that point again where I’m trying to entertain myself, but in lockdown there are no office restrictions... I will mop the kitchen floor in this. </p>
