I love boatnecks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-853211 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 11:08:11 +0000 Deborah 853211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm entering my fantasy world now, but my dream LBD would be something by Chanel *sigh*. </p> <p> Not a conventional LBD, but I am a little in love with this dress from Complex Geometries in Navy.</p> <p><a href="http://complexgeometries.net/collections/dresses/products/junction-dress-navy" rel="nofollow">http://complexgeometries.net/c.....dress-navy</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-853178 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 06:24:48 +0000 Ingunn 853178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, that would look great, I agree. But it would still be too dressy for most occasions in my life. Suz is right, this one is probably best for very dressy situations.</p> <p>Sveta, due to my body type, I prefer a wider shoulder line to balance my hips. This can of course imply impracticalities.</p> <p>Denise, both are gorgeous! I'm sure you look stunning in your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-853145 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:52:00 +0000 CocoLion 853145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got this dress last September and, although worn only once due to lack of occasions, I love it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopbop.com/off-shoulder-jackie-dress-black/vp/v=1/845524441917115.htm?fm=search-shopbysize" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/off-sho.....shopbysize</a></p> <p>I also love this one in the shade of dark grey/blue<br /> <a href="http://www.revolveclothing.com/DisplayProduct.jsp?code=BHAL-WD585&#038;c=Black+Halo&#038;referrerURL=%2FDisplayProduct.jsp%3Fproduct%3DBHAL-WD555%26c%3D&#038;amp" rel="nofollow">http://www.revolveclothing.com.....D&#038;amp</a>; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-853131 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:34:02 +0000 Sveta 853131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a gorgeous dress and I love the elegant midi length of a tapered skirt. The only thing I am not sure about (aside from the price) is the neckline. It borders on the cap sleeve and I can imagine the shoulders will slip all the time ...but it is a beauty!<br /> Suz, I love your idea of 2 dresses. Now I only need a life which warrants dress type #2...<br /> My dream LBD would be ink blue or very dark purple sleeveless sheath, which reads almost black but not quite... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-853130 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:33:54 +0000 Anonymous 853130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ingunn, I could see a black lace long sleeved tee under that dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-853123 Tue, 19 Feb 2013 04:27:21 +0000 Ingunn 853123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, I don't think I posess that kind of powers:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852840 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 23:58:18 +0000 Beth Ann 852840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a beautiful dress! I, with Suz though, that layering UNDER might be difficult. Of course you have powers I don't yet understand...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852659 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:40:15 +0000 Ingunn 852659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I understand! I loved it from the front - gorgeous and versatile. the cutout makes it more dressy and it looks great!</p> <p>Texstyle, that is a fab version of an LBD - love the jcrew pants.</p> <p>Rachy, you are spot on. This is too cold for most occasions.</p> <p>Suz - I've been thinking the same thing. You are probably right, but I want so hard to believe that I can have one both ways. Of course, this one is too dressy for my real life, but it would be perfect in my imaginary one!</p> <p>Astrid, It sounds like I have your dream LBD, or at least something quite like it: <a href="http://www.mettemoller.no/dameklaer/Kjole/Ermlos_Kjole_I_Merino_Ull_Merinoull.aspx?ProductId=543&#038;navId=50" rel="nofollow">http://www.mettemoller.no/dame.....8;navId=50</a></p> <p>It is no longer available in grey, and it has boat neck, not straps. I believe you would look great in this cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852639 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:19:15 +0000 Astrid 852639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, I like that - having two dresses. They have different purposes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852632 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:13:33 +0000 Suz 852632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is beautiful - but it looks too dressy to be a truly layer-under dress.<br /> I wrote a while ago to Mo that IMO every woman needs TWO LBD -- but they don't have to be black. </p> <p>1 should be a simple wrap, sheath, or shift that she can layer over and under successfully. </p> <p>2 should be a sexier or more elegant dress where layering isn't really the issue or desire. For me, this dress falls into category 2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852629 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:08:41 +0000 rachylou 852629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty hard to go wrong with this one and yet an almost. I think you're right about it all.</p> <p>My guess is that I would be cold in it and have a hard time finding a way to stay warm without ruining the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852626 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 20:05:19 +0000 texstyle 852626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My perfect LDB would probably be ................dressy patterned slim silk pants with some navy in the pattern paired with a silk navy sleevess v-neck.</p> <p>Edit: Like these:<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/pants/cafecapri/PRDOVR~72992/72992.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../72992.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852613 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:48:32 +0000 Astrid 852613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My perfect LBD is a navy or grey dress. I guess I would go for wide straps that hide the bra straps, sleeveless, tailored on top and waist defining with a straight or slight a-line skirt. Knee-length. I don't have any links, I haven't seen the perfect one yet. Yours looks lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852603 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:40:33 +0000 Ingunn 852603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Texstyle - that might be a problem, perhaps. I suppose there are holders (quick snap-ons) for straps on the shoulder lining. </p> <p>Tanya - I think a shirt might look a bit strange under this dress, but a blouse could work. You're right - it could work!</p> <p>Sarah - that one is gorgeous, too. How would you work around the cut-out in the back if you should layer it? A shirt poufing out of the cut out would probably ruin the look, or am I wrong? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852598 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:34:25 +0000 Sarah A 852598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>little bit less expensive but similar in some ways, different in others:</p> <p><a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Sleeveless-Shift-Dress/WX00171,default,pd.html?dwvar_WX00171_Color=BLCK&#038;contentpos=4&#038;cgid=0489" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....;cgid=0489</a></p> <p>ETA: I thought this was very much like my shift from this brand but the back has changed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852593 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:33:00 +0000 Tanya 852593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is absolutely stunning! And perfect!</p> <p>You know, I do not think that the neckline in the back prevents it from layering at all... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852592 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:31:48 +0000 texstyle 852592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is very elegant and pretty but wouldn't bra straps show? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-almost-perfect-lbd-from-goat#post-852588 Mon, 18 Feb 2013 19:28:24 +0000 Ingunn 852588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw this dress from Goat, my heart skipped a beat. It is gorgeous, I think. If it had had a higher neckline in the back (and a lower price), I would seriously have considered it. It is beautiful as it is, but I need a dress that is more versatile for layering under as well as over. Do you agree with me? Is this a perfect classic LBD?</p> <p><a href="http://www.goatfashion.com/index.php/all-products/dresses/rex-dress-67.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.goatfashion.com/ind.....ss-67.html</a></p> <p>If you know about a dress in this shape, length and preferably in thin wool, please let me know!</p> <p>ETA: Post links to the LBD (Little BOLD Dress, no matter which color) of your dreams, so we can compare! </p>
