Since you mentioned the dress is too short and it bunches up around your waist, it needs to go. Poor fit would drive me crazy even if a dress was perfect for hot summer weather. I think there are better summer dress options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2127075 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 17:11:05 +0000 Angie 2127075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plenty fancy to clean my loft in......and today is scrubbing day!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2127004 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 12:59:13 +0000 unfrumped 2127004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me the issue is, am I wearing this just because I have it, when I actually like other things better or want to buy something I love , or is it something I go rummaging for at very specific times/ occasions. So the HZ can be a giid way to sort that out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126990 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 10:46:08 +0000 Star (Lise) 2126990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of summer cotton dresses that are a bit too big and 'sack-like' on me that I dithered about because they are definitely not my most flattering items.&nbsp; I have kept them because they do serve a purpose a couple of days a year when the weather is unbearably hot.&nbsp; I do only wear them at home or popping to the supermarket across the road though.&nbsp; Keep it for now and figure it out if you really need it this summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126987 Fri, 12 Jun 2020 10:22:14 +0000 cindysmith 2126987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've never been a fan of this style of waistline on a dress. If it irks you, I say pass it on to a new home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126511 Wed, 10 Jun 2020 02:59:38 +0000 Jaime 2126511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) yes, cleaning Angie's loft is a high standard. But it does look practical and pretty for most other purposes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126505 Wed, 10 Jun 2020 02:48:53 +0000 rachylou 2126505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lol! Not sure it’s fancy enough to scrub Angie’s home in! :D</p> <p>Ok. Well, I think y’all have answered the question: hold on to it and keep an eye out for something better!!</p> <p>Ps: yes, that’s a springy elastic waist that just pops up to my natural waist. It would be better if it would stay down. I’ll have to look at it and see what the effort is to take it out... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126454 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 22:49:05 +0000 Anonymous 2126454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha CocoLion!

It's like a craving for too much chocolate that you know&nbsp; will be bad for you.<br />I have tried to put mine on HZ many times and end up looking for it, so far I haven't managed to get rid of it.<br />I think the dress looks good on you but if you really want to move on from it, the best is just to pass it along. Yes, you will regret it at times, you will miss it, but you will have moved on.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126349 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 16:47:53 +0000 slim cat 2126349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a bit too sweet but if it's useful then - keep it. It's just not doing much for your quirky personality if I may say so . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126325 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 15:54:46 +0000 rachylou 2126325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ll be back! I’m already late for work... but I think I should note that the cami under it is part of the dress... a sewn in slip... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126322 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 15:51:18 +0000 Jenn 2126322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is exactly the kind of thing I'd put in the holding zone--an item that's kind of useful, maybe, but I don't love. If it's really as useful as you think it might be, you'll be willing to dig for it. &nbsp;If you don't bother, you know you can do without. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126306 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 14:36:57 +0000 Vildy 2126306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, good point, <b>JANET</b>.&nbsp; Yes, I can visualize this now. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126263 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 13:12:51 +0000 Janet 2126263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I frequently have this fit problem and I find it distracting — the top gapes open when I sit, too much fabric around the waist makes me feel frumpy, etc. I can see the usefulness of a dress like this, but do you have others that fill the same need? It doesn’t look like the best fit on you. </p> <p>Vildy, short waisted people can wear a dropped waist dress if they don’t have wide hips — Dropped waists are probably one of the most unflattering things I have ever put on my body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126249 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 12:27:01 +0000 Vildy 2126249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the bloused fabric caused by the elastic? waist makes it look uncomfortable when viewed by the observer. :D&nbsp; &nbsp;If that is elastic, I often have success in removing it and letting the dress flow more. My opinion, I think short-waisted people can wear a dropped waist dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126244 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 12:11:18 +0000 Glory 2126244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of keep for now while looking for a replacement. I am an enabler :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126237 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 11:38:07 +0000 nemosmom 2126237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am torn because I certainly see the appeal of a functional-but-rarely-worn piece. The neckline looks too low, and if you need to layer a cami under it, does it defeat the purpose of a hot weather item? That would be the deciding factor for me. I would look for a replacement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126236 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 11:29:10 +0000 Kathie 2126236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it’s perfect for your holding zone- you can see if you have other items that would substitute. I’ve held on to a couple items that are only worn once or twice each year, even though I don’t love them. Some items are just not worth the time or expense for me to replace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126232 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 11:09:38 +0000 Preppy Pear 2126232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am almost always on Team Frozen when in doubt, but it looks good on you and it’s functional. It doesn’t look too short to me but if it’s shorter than you prefer, I think it should probably go. What else do you have for those nights when the breeze is hurting your ears? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126230 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 11:01:43 +0000 Brooklyn 2126230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it has a vintage waif vibe that suits you very well. I vote keep, but only if you still enjoy wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126228 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 10:53:32 +0000 Carla 2126228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too saccharine, rachylou. &nbsp;Agree about the excess fabric at the waist. &nbsp;I vote move it along.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126219 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 10:20:41 +0000 Synne 2126219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Peasant-romantic-boho-Kawaii-punk-quirky-cuteness! Im sure you can (and do) rock this dress, styled a thousand interesting ways. I can see this layered over long masculine bermuda shorts, with fishnets and boots. But a wardrobe only has limited space, I know! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126216 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 10:16:58 +0000 Mirjana 2126216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good on you but if you don't feel well, just give it away. That's my solution usual, if I don't feel happy, no more wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126203 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 08:37:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2126203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How many wears overall and how much stuff do you have? If well worn and you have heaps, I would give it away now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126201 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 08:30:37 +0000 Bijou 2126201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no help, because I think you look great in everything, including this dress. However, I have to agree with Liesbeth, if it annoys you, it has to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126200 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 08:29:24 +0000 Sisi 2126200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you! If it serves a function, I would keep ... at least until when you find a replacement that you like more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126197 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 08:26:02 +0000 Liesbeth 2126197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it irks you and you're willing to spend some time and money, there's a lot of similar dresses out there right now... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126187 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 07:48:06 +0000 Sal 2126187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see it as timeless. I like to have one or two similar items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/an-item-for-the-hz#post-2126185 Tue, 09 Jun 2020 07:38:45 +0000 CocoLion 2126185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a lot of freedom in a dress like this. It works for dog walking, hot days, or scrubbing Angie’s loft. Keep. </p>
