I think #2's perfect, try it belted if you want but IMO it's the unbroken line that is so sleek. The drape of the cardi gives an effect of slender hourglass; it's the perfect way to wear the dress. Don't mess with perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-400090 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 03:15:27 +0000 Erin 400090@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it backwards from the front...or should I say back. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399544 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 21:41:49 +0000 Deborah 399544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! Will have another play with this before making final decision re keep or pass on to new home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399275 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 14:26:28 +0000 Queen Mum 399275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that it is so much more flattering and chic on you backwards.. I like it with the cardi. I don't think you'll want to wear sans the cardi because you'll be walking around and it will be quite obvious to everyone that you are wearing your dress backward.</p> <p>You might even try a belt under or over the cardi. See what you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399272 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 14:23:36 +0000 yellowgirl 399272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how you've styled it in #2 - definitely wear this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399172 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 07:55:56 +0000 Deborah 399172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lynne had popped photos on new post </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399168 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 07:41:19 +0000 Lynne 399168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) thx, Deborah. Can you also add pic from the front of the dress on backwards, sans cardi? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399166 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 07:38:26 +0000 Deborah 399166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn &amp; Lynne, thanks! Lynne it's yuck to wearing it in pic 1. I just don't think the style is flattering on me. Neckline seems too low? I will see if DH will take another photo from behind for you to look at. Really appreciate your opinions :)</p> <p>Btw thank you re my hair. I'm just at the point of needing a trim so i think it looks a bit "feral" xxx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399163 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 07:24:22 +0000 Lynne 399163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Deborah,<br /> can you post another pic of it backwards, without the cardi? </p> <p>I like the dress on you, and I love the print. What do you feel is 'yuk'? Have you tried a white or cream cami underneath it?</p> <p>BTW, I LOVE your hair! So chic and feminine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399156 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:04:55 +0000 lyn* 399156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE IT BACKWARDS! Mmm; it looks amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-backward-dress-wdyt#post-399154 Sat, 06 Aug 2011 06:03:29 +0000 Deborah 399154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Lovely Ladies! Need your help :). Love the fabric and many elements of this dress, however there is a lot I don't like too, and hence I don't wear it. I have often though if only it was more of a smock/sack dress!! So again inspired by Angie's post the other day I have tried it back to front.</p> <p>Pic 1 is how it's meant to worn ( yuck)</p> <p>Pic 2 is the back. I will need to sew the back (front) opening closed. I'm not sure it will look ok to just wear the dress as is from the back view?</p> <p>Pic 3 is how I think I can wear it, with an unstructured cardigan.</p> <p>Please excuse my lack of styling in general, it's Saturday afternoon and housework and errands are on the agenda. I'm just wearing the jewelry and boots I had on with my MOTG outfit for today.</p> <p>Does this look silly, or could it work?</p> <p>Thank you xxx </p>
