I wouldn't ever even wear a dress there.&nbsp; High school was dressier than video game offices.</p> <p>Back it goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007433 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:23:24 +0000 cciele 1007433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, if you don't have a purpose for this dress, I'm wondering why you are considering it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007432 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:23:01 +0000 Jules 1007432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok maybe I'm missing some subtlety here (it happens) but I think you could absolutely dress this down/debombshell with leggings and denim jacket, for example. And then wear it to the video game office </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007429 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:16:10 +0000 ironkurtin 1007429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where do you wear a dress like this?&nbsp; I'm not wearing it to the office to write video games, that's for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007425 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 00:13:21 +0000 Suz 1007425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me the length is borderline as well, despite your stupendous legs. BUT...it's a great dress and looks amazing on you. So here's an idea. Can you wear it with tights or hose? If you intend to wear in the PNW autumn or winter, you will need that coverage. (And a topper). So try with that and maybe flat boots, at which point I think the length becomes completely moot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007335 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:53:25 +0000 Angie 1007335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007323 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:43:29 +0000 ironkurtin 1007323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Angie!</p> <p>I will do the sit-down test and if it gets too Basic Instinct back it goes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007318 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:41:33 +0000 Angie 1007318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure. This is a Seattle Summer frock to me. There is no way you could wear it without a layer during the rest of the year unless you were in a VERY heated room - and layered up outside - and ran warm. </p> <p>The frock will look fine 5 pounds from now. </p> <p>I am on the fence about the length despite your magnificent legs. Those types of styles creep up as you stride and sit because they are tight and straight. Looking at photo #1 - the length looks borderline. </p> <p>If you love the frock, keep it. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007316 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:40:43 +0000 Nicole D 1007316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dont know about the climate but it seems very versatile. &nbsp;You look great! &nbsp;I am sure you could hide 5 lbs. &nbsp;Nice length on you. &nbsp;I would keep it. &nbsp;Hope Angie agrees. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007308 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 22:17:33 +0000 Niefern 1007308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could wear it almost anywhere, with the right shoes and accessories (or lack of them).<br />It does not seem too short (and you have good legs!).</p> <p>I like it, I'd keep it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-should-i-keep-this-dress#post-1007193 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 19:21:51 +0000 ironkurtin 1007193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is Helmut Lang (new line), wool blend lined in silk. My questions:<br /> - Does this suit a PNW climate? I could only ever wear it in winter in Austin.<br /> - Where would I wear this? Rather, where does one wear a dress like this? Dinner events?<br /> - If I gain even 5 pounds is this going to look terrible?<br /> - Is it too short?</p> <p>It does make me look like a rock star, but I can live with the moment and not have to keep the dress if I won't be able to wear it for long. </p>
