I will keep it. Though I find myself less boho lately, I haven't left boho behind yet &amp; I do live in a California beach town as Angie mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855225 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 04:40:20 +0000 Marley 855225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like maxi length skirts or dresses - but I think this dress is GORgeous! I love it! It shows off your beautiful collar bones and shoulders - and is ohhhh sooooo fine! If you're concerned about it looking too "resorty" how about trying some black ankle booties and a black cropped light-weight jacket? That might be really really cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855220 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 04:32:40 +0000 Mia 855220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks super on you. Not too bare either which can be an issue with these types of dresses. Just need a resort, beach party or little leather jacket tossed over for the "city boho girl" vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855197 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 04:18:25 +0000 Debbie 855197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855121 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 03:01:34 +0000 Janet 855121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be a little tiny bit resort-y, and a little boho, but I really like it on you. I don't think it's unflattering at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855120 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:59:40 +0000 TraceyLiz65 855120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This does not at all make you look heavier and is indeed boho. You look beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855104 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:32:19 +0000 Jules 855104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I lean a little boho and I personally love it it doesn't add weight, it's just a different style and less body con than your other two, but you're clearly still slim and beautiful, and it really shows off your lovely arms - you look like a model, and I only wish I could wear this style so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855097 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:21:19 +0000 Angie 855097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice to have you back, Elle :). I hope you had a wonderful trip back home! </p> <p>As far as the maxi dress goes: it does not add weight, and it fits into your bohemian style persona. In does look a little "resort-y". But that might not be a deal breaker in So Cal Beach Town. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855095 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:19:55 +0000 ElleH 855095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle it is slightly dropped at the waist. I think that is how it is supposed to be. I'm not sure if I love it either. Maybe it just needs getting used to but I shouldn't settle I suppose. I borrowed one in a different color from a friend in Australia &amp; it was great for traveling, light weight, non-creasing &amp; cool in hot weather, despite being synthetic. I wish I had better pics of the one I borrowed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855086 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:09:33 +0000 Thistle 855086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This could just be me, but I am not a fan of the top part. I think the skirt is quite beautiful, but the waist on the top does not seem to be at your waist. Maybe it is supposed to be like this?</p> <p>I am not sure your style, but it has a very boho vibe. Would look fun paired with strappy sandals. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855084 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:07:50 +0000 ElleH 855084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz. I guess it makes me look larger than other dresses I have. I will have to get photographed in my 4 new dresses from Australia so you can see what I mean. I could post pics of me in dresses I already have I suppose, for comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855081 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 02:05:13 +0000 Suz 855081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what I know of your style it could be you - leaning to the boho side a bit? I don't find it fattening or frumpy at all (though it would be hard to make you look frumpy!) and even though I am not a fan of maxi dresses I actually quite like it! For a beach party it would be super. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-kr-is-this-dress-too-resort-fattening-or-frumpy#post-855064 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 01:49:35 +0000 ElleH 855064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie, and other forum members. I'm back in the USA but too exhausted right now to post my purchases, I will though. I didn't take many pics either so not too many WIW coming but I will do what I can. I still haven't posted WIW from before my trip so all in good time. I have a K/R that is urgent though.</p> <p>Is this dress too resort looking? Is it me? Does it add weight to me? </p>
