Keep us posted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7134 Thu, 15 May 2008 14:30:26 +0000 NewMe 7134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the honesty Angie. You're right! I'll keep looking for dresses which fit my body type better... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7087 Thu, 15 May 2008 02:01:11 +0000 Angie 7087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you Lizky. V-necks are probably too va va voom for your torso. The right cami really helps though. Have a look at the thread that Shell posted a few days ago of her outfit. I think a scoop neck is best. If you were my client, we’d be looking for another dress (sad face). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7060 Wed, 14 May 2008 22:44:01 +0000 NewMe 7060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your nice comments.</p> <p>Angie - I am worried about the "pulling" too. I was thinking of getting the area between the bust and the shoulder altered/fitted but don't know if it is worth the money or the trouble OR if I should just look for another dress. The "pulling" is always my problem... Of course v neck dresses/wrap dresses usually are too low for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7052 Wed, 14 May 2008 22:07:54 +0000 Angie 7052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear Lizky, you have co-ordinated this girly dress beautifully, and your sense of colour matching is commendable. But your bust line is screaming for a scooped, or V-neckline. As is, the dress is pulling across the bust area. A lower neckline is going to be a lot more flattering. What are your thoughts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7011 Wed, 14 May 2008 18:25:08 +0000 Dana 7011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks very nice and not like a uniform...my favorite is the belt and the pink cardi. Very nice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7003 Wed, 14 May 2008 18:14:19 +0000 Nicole 7003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like it with the cardigans. </p> <p>You don't look like an apple to me.. More hourglass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7001 Wed, 14 May 2008 18:11:01 +0000 Antje 7001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! And there is so nothing girl scout uniform about it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-7000 Wed, 14 May 2008 18:07:23 +0000 NewMe 7000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please try the links to my pictures above again. It should work now. I am looking forward to your comments and suggestions.</p> <p>Thanks again!

Unfortunately, I can not see those pictures you posted at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-6909 Wed, 14 May 2008 01:54:50 +0000 NewMe 6909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way. Thank you all for your comments!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-6907 Wed, 14 May 2008 01:52:31 +0000 NewMe 6907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Attached are some pictures of me in the green dress. I'm apple shaped with bigger bust. What do you think. I dressed it up with spring color combinations.

Sigh, if only I could wear that type of clothes... you go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-6801 Tue, 13 May 2008 14:31:12 +0000 Angie 6801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A gorgeous dress! Hubby is hilarious. I used to be a brownie and I wish my uniform looked like that. </p> <p>Maya is quite right. It’s the perfect dress for a straight, boyish body with a smallish chest (like me and this dress can go straight into my wardrobe). An inverted triangle with a small bust line is another ideal body type of this frock. If this is your body type, go for it. How is the length? </p> <p>Julia and Maya make super suggestions on how to dress it up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-6800 Tue, 13 May 2008 14:21:16 +0000 Maya 6800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It definitely isn't girl scoutish but I am VERY skeptical of those huge hip pockets. I can't see those being at all flattering unless you have a very boyish body type or a very slim lower half. If you do I would just polish i up with jewelry and some smart shoes and that should help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-6798 Tue, 13 May 2008 14:13:58 +0000 Julia 6798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hubby is silly! It's totally elegant and appropriate for work and weekends.</p> <p>I'd pair it with white to polish it up for work and wear with yellow or fushia to make it fun for weekends. It doesn't hit you at the same length as the model, right? If so it is too short for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-dress-dilemma#post-6796 Tue, 13 May 2008 13:58:38 +0000 NewMe 6796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this green shift dress from Nordstrom. I thought it would be a versitile dress to wear to work and the weekends.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2959863?tuid=000006cb-006f-0861-6c61-726765727669&#038;id=8022186&#038;largeImg=0&#038;tname=product" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....me=product</a></p> <p>It fits me good. When I showed it to my husband (on the hanger) he commented that it looks like a girls scout uniform?! (he's silly) </p> <p>So, my dilemma is should I keep it or should I return it? If I keep it, what can I wear with it to make it look less "girls scout-ish" and more fun for the spring/summer. </p>
